The young HBO star had already made Zendaya his top Emmy wish
Apart from the picture of Ansell and the Spider-Man 4 leads, HBO shared a video in the same carousel. The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star talked about how he was excited to meet Zendaya while going to the ceremony.
He said, “So I’m really excited to meet Zendaya because, obviously, I love Spider-Man and she’s one of the main people in that, so I’m really excited to meet her.” He also mentioned that while shooting Season 2 of the show, he had to wear a harness that was worn by Tom Holland. The second season of the show will adapt George R.R. Martin’s sequel novella to The Hedge Knight, titled The Sworn Sword. Ansell plays the role of Aegon VI Targaryen, later called King Aegon the Unlikely, who wanders Westeros with Ser Duncan the Tall as his squire, Egg.
Ansell’s meeting with Zendaya also harkens back to his reaction to learning that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was nominated for an Emmy. In the video that was shared about his reaction, the young actor was heard declaring to his friends, “I’m meeting Zendaya.”
