The COOL GIRL - ZENDIYA

She may have started as a Disney child star, but Zendaya well and truly ditched that tag long ago. The actress, 23, hasn’t looked back since she got her “big break” in SpiderMan: Homecoming back in 2017, following it up with stellar performances in The Greatest Showman and HBO’s Euphoria. That show’s second season was due on screens this year but filming halted in March due to the pandemic. But Zendaya herself has teased the cast may work on several “bridge” episodes prior to the now-delayed second season. “Hopefully,” she says. “I can’t wait!”

Here, the actress gets candid about season 2 of Euphoria and being a role model for young women around the world ..

ZENDAYA IN LOVE

The actress is rumored to be dating her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi after meeting on the set of the HBO show. “Zendaya is an amazingly creative, you know? She’s super-dope to work with,” the 23-year-old gushed to GQ Australia of the star. “She’s an incredible artist and a very caring person to all of us.” The pair holidayed together in Greece last year.

What can we expect from season 2 of the hit teen drama?

A lot of stuff! Honestly, I couldn’t even begin to tell you if I tried. I’m really excited about it.
