Sunrise star Edwina Bartholomew found herself in an awkward moment Monday while interviewing actor Zendaya — and viewers were not happy.
The reporter, 40, asked the American actor, 27, who was the ‘best kisser’ between her co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor during their media blitz.
Zendaya seemed so shocked by the probing question that she pretended not to hear it when her fellow actors, Mike and Josh, stepped in to answer for her.
The clip starts with Edwina asking the trio: “But who’s the best kisser?” referring to the steamy scene where they all make out in the movie Challengers.
Zendaya, who is dating Spiderman star Tom Holland, grimaces at the shocking question and says, “Hm?” like pretending not to hear.

To her relief, Mike, 32, jumps for cover and says “Josh” to divert attention from his awkward colleague.
Viewers flocked to X – formerly known as Twitter – after the awkward altercation and tuned out the interview.
“No bc same Zendaya, same,” one user wrote while sharing a gif of the Golden Globe award winner’s grimace

Others also referenced her reaction, with one person saying: ‘She said ‘Hm?’, while another said: ‘Her face when she said it’, alongside laughing emojis.
‘Embarrassing. Group 3 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, it seems, recognized the lameness of the question and immediately said Josh. I love these three,” they wrote.
It comes just days after the Dune actor and her partner, Spiderman star Tom Holland, were forced to silence split rumors.
Speculation about their relationship began circulating in January when Zendaya unfollowed Tom on Instagram and hadn’t been photographed with him since October.
However, Zendaya unfollowed everyone and Tom still followed her, and the couple was spotted packing on the PDA at a red carpet event in London last week.
