Zendaya Gets Candid
In the interview clip, Zendaya discusses how she has progressed from Disney Channel to Challengers by selecting films that pushed her out of her comfort zone. She said,
“Yeah, just the right things happen at the right time and it wasn’t about rushing or trying prove anything to anyone. Rather just take my time and prove it to myself, really. With each project they’re like “no you can do this, you can do this, right.” And it’s been a been a beautiful journey I think with each thing.”
She also mentioned that it has been fun seeing her fans from Shake it Up age alongside her during her career. She said,
“For example, even ‘Euphoria,’ while that was a departure, I was still playing a teenager. So just take your time. And people have been able to grow along with me.
We were at the LA Premier a few days ago and there was a girl there who I’m assuming is probably an adult know, but she was showing me a picture of her when she was younger, like probably nine or ten years old with a ‘Shake it Up’ t-shirt.
And she was like, “I grew up with you,” you know, and that stuff means the world to me. And now she’s at this premiere and she’s like legally allowed to watch an R-rated movie, you know?”
