man i am such a fan of the actress



Zendaya Talks Breaking Out of the ‘World of Disney’: ‘I Felt Stagnant’



Zendaya is forging her own path as an actress, and that means
leaving Disney’s sparkling sheen behind.
The 21-year-old up-and-comer recently sat down with Marie Claire
to discuss the trajectory she’d like her career to take after spending
years working on the Disney Channel’s Shake It Up alongside Bella Thorne.
Largely, that means leaving everything she knows behind.

“It’s definitely been a process, especially because I’m coming from this very
different world of Disney,” she said of her more recent roles. “Having been
consistently on a television show, I felt stagnant. Not having that anymore,
I am being seen as a real actress, doing what makes me feel pushed and
motivated. I don’t necessarily think comfort is always the best place to live in.
I’m kind of excited as I decide what projects I want to take on or if I want to
produce. I’ve really found the power in just doing what makes me happy.”

Zendaya added that, since leaving the House of Mouse behind, she’s found
different ways to reinvent herself as she attempts to grow as an actress.
“I wanted to create who I was as a person outside of my Disney character.
Fashion helped with that. My stylist, Law Roach, and I created a world beyond
what I was known as through clothes. Picking the right projects helped too.
There was a lot of not getting the audition that I wanted and often going out
for parts that weren’t written for a girl who looks like me and just saying,
‘Hey, see me anyway,’ until the right thing stuck.”

She also stated that, as a young African-American woman trying to build a
lasting career in the industry, she feels as though she has far less latitude
to screw up compared to white fellow actors.

“What my white peers would be able to get away with at this point in their
career is not something that I will be able to do,” she explained. “And I knew
that from when I was real young. That’s just the truth, and so you’ll be kind
of afraid of making mistakes because I love what I do. I don’t want to
jeopardize it at any point because I am not allowed the room to mess up.”

I started to become a fan of her's when she was on KC Undercover, loved that show. I'm glad that she is starting to get more serious, adult roles.

Yeah, I didn't watch her on the Disney stuff either. I actually first saw her in Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video.

Even though the Disney Channel can be cheesy, KC Undercover wasn't. It was funny and mature IMO but to each their own.
