and I see that you're picking a bunch of
lemons yeah I'm making lemonade awesome
I look zoom I got you okay now question
number one what is your name originated
okay so technically it's a long story
but it's based off a word that means to
give thanks that's pretty and how would
you describe your upbringing um real who
would you say is your role model growing
up my mom and today has it changed no I
still my mom why because he's a teacher
you know and she's spent her whole life
giving and I really admire that yeah and
what's the first thing you thought of
this morning can't be honest sure
blowing my nose because I have a little
cold right now so be careful I'm gonna
keep my distance all right so what's
something you do every morning without
fail Oh
unfortunately I check my phone same here
yeah what gets you out of bed
my dog noon cute in your Virgo yeah
what's the most Virgo thing about you
okay no this can sound negative but like
I'm a little bit of a control freak just
a little bit
sindhya aren't we all hey don't know can
you um take these for me this is Darnell
he's my assistant
flash brother flash everything organizer
of my life hey Darnell hey thank you
okay so what's the most Californian
thing about you the most Californian
thing about me is that I still get
excited when I see snow like I think
it's really really cool because
obviously we never get snow so obviously
if you see snow all the time it's not
exciting for you but I think it's full
and where do you feel most at home hyung
at home that makes sense and who do you
feel most at home with oh I think my dog
makes me feel mosa now I suspect that
these are rare for you but if you had a
full day off what would you do with it
nothing I would do absolutely nothing
how do you own one I do nothing I just
stand aside and like watch Harry Potter
and just like don't do anything so
what's been taking up your days as of
late um I'm
finishing of my show you four eeeh so
that's been a it's been taking up a lot
of time I had literally a nice shoot
last night
yeah euphoria has been getting some
serious buzz and they excited that and
it's such a departure from Disney what
can you tell us about it
I mean I'm excited and equally terrified
but um I don't know I mean I can say
that it's the most exciting exhausting
but fulfilling thing I've ever done what
is it that attracted you to Roo honestly
I hate reading scripts and this was on
the first time that I read a script so
fast and I just kept reading and reading
and reading and I don't know I just I
fell in love with her and what was the
most difficult part of playing her um I
mean I can only understand how her brain
were it so much you know so I really
rely heavily on our writer creator
director Sam Levenson because rue is
basically him you know his life so I
just asked him what do you hope your
fans get out of this series um I hope
they feel something you know like
whatever that is I don't know just I
hope they feel sit do you feel pressure
when you're deciding to post things on
your social media you know it's kind of
weird yeah I have been more so now than
than ever before which is things a
little weird for me but I just cut out
no I'm just taking a step back and I
haven't posted as much anymore do you
read the comments no not really
and let's not like from like my friends
you know then I read those how do you
deal with negativity um
you know I try to keep in mind you know
that everyone is dealing with something
that we have no idea about you know so I
just try to have compassion for it you
know it's very wise what's something
your followers may not know about you
I think they know this but I'm a very
shy introverted person and what's been
the coolest thing that you've learned
from a fan my fans they keep me on my
toes they keep me politically aware they
can be socially aware and they always
correct my grammar and spelling okay I
get it I know I can't spell okay today I
love this fire pit but it's kind of hot
yeah I I get that I know we're in
California and it's sunshiny but I'm
sitting by the fire see how that could
be how would you describe your personal
style
oh you know the thing is I don't have
one I don't think I actually have one
what's the most over worn item in your
wardrobe um probably my converse and
what
the most luxe thing that you've ever
worn it's actually a funny story um I
went to a premiere and I had these
earrings they were big beautiful
earrings I thought they were fake to be
honest with you hmm
and then there was this article that
came out the next day that was like some
tea who wears million-dollar earrings
and I was like law did you put me in
million dollar earrings last night like
we were probably no no what
so long story short they're not mine I
gave them back um and yeah probably
never happened to gigs oh so stressful
who's the most stylish person alive la
Roache my stylist and what would you
consider to be your uniform probably
just black slacks and like a white tee
vintage or designer vintage designer
that's a cheat answer
sneakers are healed sneakers at the
moment but i am i do love some heels
is it all time greatest purchase you
ever made that's tough question I refuse
to answer that one an outfit that maybe
you wish you skipped none of them
actually because I think they all have
equally helped me like find my
confidence and figure out what I like so
I wouldn't take it back now what would
you say is your beauty philosophy there
are no rules how about a beauty product
that you don't go a day without wearing
SPF what is it best beauty tip you've
ever received um
take your makeup off before you go to
bed I'm serious even if you're tired do
it note it favorite look color red your
goatee beauty look at this very moment
nothing honestly when I'm not working
just nothing strong lip or strong eye
strong guy now I know you often do your
own makeup for events yeah where did you
learn those skills um I've had so many
make up horror stories and I've had so
many makeup artists in my past and I
just kind of took all the good things
from each of them and learn how to do it
myself
act of you doing your own makeup it's so
I don't know like old school theater
yeah for sure and I've heard you hone
your acting skills via Shakespeare yeah
my mom actually works at the California
Shakespeare Theatre there's a house
manager there since I was like two years
old how many of this place have you seen
like all of them several times who's
your favorite character in all

everyone knows that new doesn't love me
he loves my mom and Darnell more now
your dog noon has a Twitter account that
I saw right yeah is that right but a
surprisingly ready ready I don't run it
and what would he tweet about at this
very moment if he did he'd probably
tweet like why are you guys in my
backyard if you could go back and tell
thirteen-year-old zendaya one thing what
would it be it would probably be to
follow your instincts and follow your
gut can someone's right and what would
you tell other performers navigating
Fame at a similar age read the contracts
no matter how boring they are read the
contracts
okay finish the sentence for me
Hollywood of the future looks like
hopefully more diverse wow this street
is beautiful right alright so dancing
trapeze work martial arts your work
requires strong physical commitment yeah
what's been the hardest world to prepare
for you know honestly you for you
because it's like sometimes the
emotional stuff that's just hardened
what's been the most difficult stunt to
learn uh trapeze is Preetha the fresh
look for someone like Nina doesn't work
out just up no one average how many body
slams did you and your fellow 73 LM Zac
Efron indoor when filming the greatest
showmen quite a lot let's just say we

pretty nice it's pretty impose yeah it
was but it's like what something you

character MJ hit closest to home for
zendaya no she's a little bit of a loner
and kind of like an introvert so that's
weak what do you think makes you an
introvert how am I just like to stay at
home and save myself I can help it

it be teleportation for short it would
make my life like so much easier now cuz
you travel a lot

have the spider and press surface today

heard through the grapevine you may be
involved in an iconic remake what can
you tell me about this tell you but I
think Gillian don't ask who I said that
in New York next so besides acting music
has been such a strong focus in your
career Wow do you feel more connected to
acting or making music at this moment I
