Zendaya is hard at work preparing for the premiere of Challengers , where she continues to attract the public’s attention. Zendaya’s appeal comes not only from her acting talent, which has been proven through famous series such as Euphoria and Dune : Planet Sand , but also from her creative high fashion sense and unique style of mixing and matching clothes using the method dressing method of stylist Law Roach.

In her most recent interview, Zendaya opened up about the pressures of playing the character Tashi in Challengers , the pressure of becoming famous too soon, her relationship with boyfriend Tom Holland, and her plans for building a family in the future.

The role of Tashi Duncan in Challengers is the first time Zendaya has played a mature, motherly woman on the big screen. Zendaya has always played youthful roles that fit her Gen Z age.

The actress admitted that this was a completely new and challenging experience, making Zendaya worried whether the audience could sympathize with the character Tashi when she herself was only 27 years old – a relatively young age compared to the character.

Zendaya also shared that among her friends, some have children and some are preparing to become parents. She does not hide her desire to build a family of her own in the future. But until now, she feels happy and comfortable in her role as a loving aunt to her niece.

Zendaya, despite her dreams of having her own family in the future, cannot help but wonder about the impact of her acting career on her children’s lives. She confided: “I don’t want my children to have to bear the pressure of fame. And I wonder, do I need to live in the spotlight forever?”

The actress also expressed her complicated feelings about motherhood and fame, which date back to her early days as a child actress.

“I’m reliving the rebellious teenage years that I didn’t have the chance to experience,” Zendaya says. “I feel like I had to take on adult responsibilities early on, becoming the financial breadwinner for my family, which flipped my roles and made me mature beyond my years.”

As for the future, Zendaya revealed that she’s been feeling a lot of insecurities about her personal and career life, which could be related to her being in the spotlight since she was a child.

When Fame Affects Privacy in Zendaya and Tom Holland’s Personal Relationship

Zendaya opened up about the changes in her life with Tom Holland: “We were so young, but my career changed, and for him, it changed overnight. Yesterday we were kids, hanging out at a bar with our friends, and then the next day he was Spider-Man… I watched his life change right before my eyes. But he handled it so well.”

Before he rose to fame with his starring role in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), the film where he met Zendaya, Tom Holland got his start in London’s West End (the equivalent of Broadway in New York) playing the young Billy Elliot. He’s returning to the West End later this year in a new production of Romeo & Juliet , and Zendaya has made it a point to catch every new show her boyfriend does.

Zendaya has also expressed concerns about privacy when it comes to Tom Holland. After their famous Louvre date in late 2022, Zendaya reflected: “Oh, I’m like one of those pieces of art where everyone wants to take a picture. After that, I realized I have to adjust to being in the spotlight and being photographed all the time, just stay calm and live my life.”

Zendaya, however, admits that she’s gotten better at setting boundaries, despite worrying that longtime fans might no longer be supportive. “When I was younger, I always felt like I had to say yes to every photo request,” she explains. “You had to say yes, because you were grateful that you were there. But now, I’ve learned to politely decline, saying I’m taking a break, or I just want to be me today, and I don’t have to ‘perform’ all the time.”

Zendaya admits that she only wants to appear and attract attention when necessary, and then live a peaceful and private life with her family.
