Zendaya has spoken candidly about her current struggle to balance global fame with a desire for a quieter, more private life, admitting that living in the public eye often comes at a personal cost.
More than a year after she and her spider man Co-star Tom Holland confirmed their engagement, the actress opened up about how she handles the constant attention.
Speaking during a conversation with Robert Pattinson for Interview magazineZendaya acknowledged that some parts of her life are inevitably public, although she wishes they weren’t.
“At the end of the day, you’re a public figure, there’s nothing you can do,” Zendaya said. “But some things are for you and your loved ones.”
The 29-year-old explained that her carefully managed public image can sometimes clash with both her real self and the characters she plays, including her role on the series. Euphoria.
While he understands the expectations that come with fame, he said he still tries to draw firm boundaries.
“I try to have privacy, not only for the characters, but also for myself in real life,” he shared. “I try to be honest about who I am when I’m in public, but I also try to keep things to myself.”
Still, when moments come into public view, they are embraced warmly.
In September, Holland gently corrected a fan who referred to Zendaya as his girlfriend, smiling as he clarified, “Fiancee.”
For Zendaya, the challenge continues: learning to exist fully in the spotlight while keeping close the parts of life she wants to keep just for herself.
