The celebrity spoke out to Rolling Out back in 2014, sharing her thoughts on how she initially came to realize her “passion” for performing and theater.

“When I was very young, my mom worked at the California Shakespeare Theater,” Zendaya said to the publication at the time.

“I was raised in the theater.” I was that strange eight-year-old who loved Shakespeare and spent hours watching rehearsals.

“I was very intrigued by acting and everything that that world had to offer,” the beauty went on. That’s when I suppose I first discovered how passionate I was about theater.

The star has accomplished a lot in the industry since her early days in theater, including appearing on Disney Channel and receiving a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance in HBO’s Euphoria.

Zendaya has been juggling her hectic schedule in order to promote Dune: Part Two, her most recent movie, which opens in theaters on March 1 of next month.

Together with Timothee Chalamet, Austin Butler, Stellan Skarsgard, and director Denis Villeneuve, the star attended the film’s premiere on Thursday in Seoul, South Korea.

She showed off her form in a matching blazer with reflective red-patterned fabric accents and a tight gray skirt.

Holland also supported his girlfriend earlier this week by sharing the trailer for her upcoming project titled, Challengers. 'You aren't ready for this one!' he wrote

To finish the ensemble, the beauty slid into a pair of sheer black tights and black shoes with closed toes.

Zendaya has been touring various countries in support of the sequel, including London, where she was also photographed with her boyfriend, fellow actor Tom Holland.

Split rumors were put to rest after the couple was spotted cuddling up while leaving a Dune: Part Two after-party together.

The actress recently revealed the Spider-Man star’s “natural gift” to Buzzfeed and gushed over him.

She once said, “Rizz is short for charisma, right?” in response to the question of which of her Dune: Part Two castmates had the most “rizz.” Everyone has somewhat of their own.

The actor continued, “I believe that Mr. Tom Holland, who I know personally and who works for me, is someone who has beautiful charisma and is not on the Dune cast.”

I’m more reserved and quiet, therefore it takes more effort to get me to come out of my shell. However, he excels at simply striking up conversations and getting to know new people.

The actor, who had won several awards, went on, “You see him on talk shows and stuff.” He’s just really skilled at that by nature. In contrast, I’ve had to extract it from myself a little bit. He possesses that innate talent.

Earlier this week, Holland showed his girlfriend some support by posting the teaser for her new project, Challengers. “This one isn’t for you yet,” he wrote.

April of this year is when the sports-comedy drama is supposed to premiere in theaters.Her character Tashi, a “former tennis prodigy turned coach” who “is married to a champion on a losing streak,” is the focus of the plot.

According to an official officialIMDB synopsis, “her strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.”

In addition to Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist were also cast as stars in the movie.

Tom notably dispelled rumors in January of last year that he and the former Disney Channel starlet were no longer together.

After Zendaya unfollowed every Instagram account and the couple was last seen together in October 2023, split rumors started to spread.

The star said, “No, absolutely not,” when TMZ asked him if he and the actress were “broken up” after an excursion in Los Angeles.

The entertainment publication was also informed by a source that the two celebrities celebrated New Year’s Eve together by ringing in 2024.

Furthermore, Tom discussed their relationship with Extra when he appeared at the Critics Choice Awards a month ago.

He disclosed that the two occasionally watch Spider-Man: Homecoming, their first movie together, to “reminisce” about their romance and friendship.

When Zendaya and Tom were cast for the Marvel film in 2016, their paths initially met, and in 2021, their romance was officially established.
