Zendaya Covers The New Issue Of ELLE

Zendaya is on the cover of the new issue of ELLE. Zendaya is on the cover to promote her new film, Challengers. Highlights from her interview are below.

On choosing roles: “From a character perspective, I want to find things that will push me. As I get older, you know, I can’t play a teenager for the rest of my life.”

On Challengers: “I felt like it was a good step into a more, I guess you could say, ‘grown-up’ role and into that next phase. It was a little bit scary to take on, which I think is a good feeling. To be like, ‘Ooh, can I do this?’ You could run from that feeling and stay safe and comfortable, or you can go, ‘You know what, fuck it.'”

On balancing her professional and personal lives: “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”
