Zendaya is a name that is no longer unfamiliar to film fans around the world. The Black actress is famous for her roles in blockbuster films, most notably in the “Spider-Man” series.
In a recent exclusive interview on American television, Zendaya captured the attention of fans when she first shared about her challenging childhood. She stated that she did not have a peaceful and happy childhood like other children her age.
“My family was quite struggling, so I had to study and work to help my parents from a young age. My childhood was filled with days spent helping my mother sell goods after school. Watching my friends go out and participate in extracurricular activities like singing and acting made me wish I could be like them,” Zendaya shared.
Even after becoming a professional actress, Zendaya still identifies as the financial pillar for her family. However, the young actress is always grateful for those difficult times, as they helped shape her into the strong and resilient Zendaya we know today.
This is also why she finds empathy with the character Tashi, whom she plays in her latest film, “Challengers,” set to be released on April 26.
This film marks a “transformation” for Zendaya, as she moves away from the familiar image she has had with the audience.
