Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor on Challengers and chemistry

Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor talk to Letterboxd about watching Ratatouille together, how Luca Guadagnino films bodies, and the kinship between this love triangle story and Past Lives. 

It is well documented at this point that the main trio of Challengers—Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor—bonded over a viewing of Ratatouille, one of O’Connor’s favorite movies.

This is, in fact, the only favorite movie discussed in the above video interview (sorry to disappoint) although Faist brings a beautiful anecdote of crossing paths and reading for Past Lives. Elsewhere, the actors reflect on their director Luca Guadagnino (“he has incredible taste”), and the bonding time they had on set. 

For the full interview watch the video above. More coming soon on Journal—Challengers is in theaters worldwide now.
