Viewers have recently come to the conclusion that <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/zendaya-responds-to-rumor-about-tom-holland-euphoria-cameo">Zendaya</a> seemingly avoided <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/normal-people-demand-scene-videos-cut-show">Paul Mescal's</a> gesture when the two were set to present an award together. The awkward moment took place on Sunday night, during the 95th installment of the <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/michelle-yeoh-drops-f-bomb-during-emotional-sag-awards-acceptance-speech">Screen Actors Guild Awards</a> at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The two stars were scheduled to co-present the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor and as they headed to the stage together, fans picked up on a slightly frosty reception from the 26-year-old Euphoria actress who allegedly swerved Mescal's attempt to offer her an arm. A video of the interaction was later reposted to TikTok by @nomoredanny where it has since been viewed 8.7 million times.

"His face after," pointed out one user. "SHE TURNED HIS SMILE UPSIDE DOWN," another agreed. "The way his smiled [sic] dropped as she moved away, as if that’s the only thing he wanted from walking with literally the amazing Zendaya..." This TikTok user described the moment as "hilarious," saying: "I LOVE PAUL MESCAL!!! This is hilarious tho." <img class="wp-image-1263197653 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.05.30-1024x208.png" alt="" width="1024" height="208" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263197654 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.05.37-1024x198.png" alt="" width="1024" height="198" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263197655 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.05.50-1024x280.png" alt="" width="1024" height="280" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263197656 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.05.59-1024x258.png" alt="" width="1024" height="258" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Some even went as far as describing him as a "gentleman." "Why she do Paul like that? He was being polite!!" commented another alongside laughing emojis. <img class="wp-image-1263197669 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.22.26-1024x204.png" alt="" width="1024" height="204" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263197657 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.06.09-1024x200.png" alt="" width="1024" height="200" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] However, others just pointed out that it was a little misunderstanding between the two stars. "They both went in wanting to do [different] things which made them both silently cringe at themselves... Leave paul alone," this user said, while another agreed writing: "Don’t read into that, he was trying to be polite to help her up the stairs and she assumed he wanted to lock arms." "She moved her arms expecting a lock, he tried to help her up the stairs. She would’ve done it if she knew," this user stated. <img class="wp-image-1263197660 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.08.22-1024x261.png" alt="" width="1024" height="261" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263197661 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.08.36-1024x281.png" alt="" width="1024" height="281" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263197662 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-16.08.49-1024x272.png" alt="" width="1024" height="272" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Thankfully, it just seems to be an awkward blunder, with the two stars rarely crossing paths prior to the SAG Awards. <img class="wp-image-1263197692 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/2NR7NA5-731x1024.jpg" alt="" width="731" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Zendaya attends the 29th annual SAG Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California.
