There have been a handful of blinds ever since the first Dune came out, so Timmy lowkey not being a fan of Zen isn’t shocking.
Supposedly Timmy was pissed that when the movie came out the media/press and general public focused on Zendaya being in the movie more than him, and he felt she was somehow stealing his shine despite the fact it was HIS BLOCKBUSTER FILM and she only had 7 minutes of screen time (in which there was also a blind about him being upset she was paid $300k for 7 minutes or screen time).
They started filming the sequel 1/2 months before she joined them because she was filming Challengers in Boston, and during that time he was trying to convince the Director and studio (Warner Bros) to recast her part, because her character has a huge role in the sequel (the second half of the book) and he was lobbying for someone else to takeover. Of course they weren’t gonna drop her, as she’s a new big star.
I have not heard anything about Sweeney taking issue with Zendaya, but i do remember her having a face after Zen won her second Emmy, and it wasn’t the face of someone who looked happy.
IF TRUE (I need to say this because there is someone on here who always goes on and on about blinds), Do we think maybe these two are a bit jealous of Zen’s popularity???
