‘I Was Trying Not To Cry.’ The Sweet Gesture Zendaya Made To One Battle After Another Breakout Chase Infiniti

by

Chase Infiniti is definitely having an incredible year. She’s gained recognition for her role in the hit film One Battle After Another and even received a Golden Globe nomination for playing the daughter of revolutionaries. As if that weren’t enough, she recently received flowers from Hollywood star Zendaya – a real bouquet, delivered just for her!

With the release of One Battle After Another on streaming platforms, it’s heartwarming to hear about the support within the young Hollywood community. Chase Infiniti shared how Zendaya unexpectedly showed her kindness, sending flowers after the 2025 film release. Infiniti told Elle magazine she almost cried when she received the thoughtful gift from the Euphoria star, explaining:

I was trying to stay strong, but my friends didn’t realize how upset I was until I video-called them after receiving the flowers, and that’s when they saw I was really crying.

This was in response to a story the actress shared on Instagram (via ComplexPop) showing off the bouquet of white and pink roses from J’Adroe Les Fleurs sent over by the Spider-Man: Brand New Day star back in September 2025. The emotional post also included a caption from Infiniti saying she was “literally crying” and that her “life has been made” thanks to Zendaya’s kind gesture. Honestly, that had to be one of the coolest, if not the coolest, gifts to receive from a bona fide superstar.

Infiniti recently told Elle magazine about the amazing reaction she’s gotten for playing Willa Ferguson / Charlene Calhoun in One Battle After Another. She said the attention following her successful role as the 16-year-old daughter of revolutionaries has been surreal, calling it a dream come true.

I’m incredibly thankful that people are enjoying the movie and connecting with the character of Willa. It’s all been so surreal and unexpected. I’m just grateful to have been involved in any way. Honestly, it’s hard to wrap my head around everything – it feels like a dream come true!

The film One Battle After Another was highly praised upon its release, and it allowed actress Infiniti to act alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. When asked about her experience working with the Oscar-winning actor – who is again a potential Academy Award winner this year – she described him as “a beacon of kindness,” and continued:

I’ve learned so much from him, both about leading a team on set and about the importance of kindness. He’s a truly wonderful and approachable person to work with – a gentle leader who’s always willing to offer advice and support. I’ve benefited from his insights into the industry and his guidance on how to navigate being on set.

Infiniti didn’t share specifics about the advice Leonardo DiCaprio gave her during filming, but it’s likely he offered guidance on navigating privacy as a public figure, along with other helpful suggestions. Her acting ability doesn’t seem to be a concern; she appears to be a skilled performer.

If you haven’t seen One Battle After Another yet and are curious about all the praise – including flowers sent by Zendaya! – it’s now available to stream on HBO Max. And trust us, it lives up to the hype.
