Dexter Sol Ansell had a marvelous time at the 2026 Emmys.
And that’s because the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms actor was able to fulfill his wish of meeting fellow nominee Zendaya at the 78th annual ceremony Sept. 14.
In a photo shared to Ansell’s Instagram Sept. 15, the 11-year-old—donning a bedazzled cream suit for the occasion—posed alongside the Euphoria actress, who crouched down beside him.
But the tween’s Spidey senses could have never predicted that he’d get a two for one special at the event. After all, Zendaya’s husband Tom Holland—who skipped the red carpet before taking his seat next to The Drama star inside Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater—also swooped in on the sweet moment, smiling behind the young actor with his hands by his sides.
Ansell captioned the post alongside pointing and spider emojis, “This.”
ICYMI, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms received nine nominations at the Mariska Hargitay-hosted event, ultimately taking home one trophy for Outstanding Stunt Performance.
But when nominations were first announced, Ansell’s sweet reaction was shared to social media, where he immediately expressed his excitement to rub shoulders with the Disney Channel alum.
