Sunrise star Edwina Bartholomew found herself in an awkward moment on Monday while interviewing actor Zendaya, and viewers weren’t happy.
The journalist, 40, asked the American actor, 27, who was the “best kisser” among his co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor during his media blitz.
Zendaya seemed so surprised by the invasive question that she pretended not to hear it when her fellow actors, Mike and Josh, stepped in to answer for her.
The clip begins with Edwina asking the trio: ‘But who is the best kisser?’ referring to the hot scene in which everyone kisses in the movie Challengers.
Zendaya, who is dating Spider-Man star Tom Holland, grimaces at the shocking question and says, ‘Hm?’ as if she pretended not to hear him.

To his relief, Mike, 32, jumps for cover and says “Josh” to divert attention from his uncomfortable colleague.
Viewers flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, following the awkward exchange and criticized the interview.
‘Not because it’s the same Zendaya, it’s the same,’ one user wrote while sharing a gif of the Golden Globe winner’s grimace.

‘Embarrassing. Third grade question,” someone else tweeted, while one user asked why Edwina was “trying to be messy.”
One person praised the actors for their grace in handling the question.

And Mike, apparently, recognized the stupidity of the question and immediately said Josh. I love these three,’ they wrote.
It comes just days after the Dune actress and her partner, Spider-Man star Tom Holland, were forced to silence split rumors.
Speculation about their relationship began circulating in January when Zendaya unfollowed Tom on Instagram and had not been photographed with him since October.
However, Zendaya unfollowed everyone and Tom still followed her, and the couple was seen doing their PDA last week at a red carpet event in London.
