Zendaya Covers The February Issue Of GQ

Zendaya is on the cover of the new issue of GQ magazine. The young actress is on the cover of the magazine’s February issue to promote her new film, Malcom & Marie. Highlights from the issue are below.

On what hobbies she picked up in lockdown: “This is some real corny shit, but I started this. It’s a journal or art-book thing that my friend Hunter [Schafer] from Euphoria got me, actually. My new thing for myself is to try not to be so damn controlling all the time and just paint. Just whatever the fuck comes out, that’s what comes out.”

On the original ideas director Sam Levinson threw out before creating, Malcome & Marie: “I was just on the pavement outside in my backyard because I didn’t have outdoor furniture yet, talking to Sam. He’s like, ‘What if we did something almost like a horror movie where you’ve lost it because you still think you’re on K.C. Undercover? You could be in the house like dah, dah, dah, and you’re still stuck being this Disney Channel actress, and people are like, ‘No. You’re not K.C. [anymore].'”

On winning the EMMY: “In a lot of ways it feels like proving something to myself personally, yeah, but I feel like, I feel good about it for all of us. It feels like recognition that maybe we aren’t just like that little crazy show with the crazy kids, you know what I mean? To me, it’s like Mean Girls, when [Lindsay Lohan] breaks the crown. She’s like, ‘This is for you.'”
