Zendaya says she’s ‘terrified’ by the demands of fame: ‘ I don’t know if that’s for me’

‘I feel like, often, I am not cut out for that part of it,’ said the ‘Euphoria’ star

The Dune and Spider-Man actor Zendaya has said that she prefers to be seen as a “person” rather than a celebrity.

At a special screening event of Dune: Part Two, the 28-year-old actor, who started her career on the Disney channel, opened up about the difficulties she faces dealing with her meteoric rise within Hollywood, as reported by Deadline.

Zendaya was joined at the event by co-stars Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler as well as director Denis Villeneuve.

Asked by moderator Erik Davis whether any of them could relate to the film’s theme of false prophets given their own experiences of fame and fans, Zendaya said: “I feel like, often, I am not cut out for that part of it. I do love my job, I’m so grateful. I love doing the work, I love being on set, I do love moments like this – don’t get me wrong – but I am terrified of that part of it, often.”
