Zendaya Says She Wants Marriage and Kids Someday, But That Hasn’t ‘Happened Quite Yet’
Zendaya offered up a rare interview to Entertainment Weekly on Challengers as awards season campaigning begins.
In the discussion, she touched on playing a character her age who has achieved personal milestones, like marriage and having kids, that she looks forward to having later in life. (Zendaya has been dating Tom Holland for years.)
She began by saying that before Challengers, she was playing roles that were “quite young,” like high schooler Rue on Euphoria. “I say I’ve been playing a 16-year-old since I was 16. [Sitting here right now,] I probably look a little bit like a child because I’m not in hair and makeup,” she said. “And I get that, I get the Rue of it all, and that totally works and has worked for me, but also I am not a child. And at some point you have to play characters that are your own age and have experiences that you don’t have—for example, having children or getting married. While those are all things I want and I’m looking forward to, they just haven’t happened quite yet.”
