The footage shows Roach and Zendaya entering the fashion show and the Euphoria star sits next to actress Emma Stone in the front row. Roach searches for another empty chair in the front row as Zendaya gestures for him to sit behind her. He doesn’t seem convinced and shakes his head at the end of the video.
One person wrote on Twitter: “I really believe that was the last straw for him.”
Someone else tweeted: “I mean I would be upset too.”
But others have defended the actress.
“The fault lies with the staff who did not direct Law to his correct seat and thus caused him to stand awkwardly in front.”
“There was no problem with him sitting behind Zendaya and it’s clear she was okay with Emma next to her. The stars are always front row.
Roach has yet to comment on the sequel following his retirement announcement.
