The actress in an interview with “Vogue” when asked what her professional goals were when she was growing up, the star of “Euphoria” admitted that she finds the question a bit “funny” as it’s something she’s still trying to figure out…
“I don’t know if I had a choice. I have complicated feelings about children and fame and being in the limelight from a young age,” she explained. “We’ve seen many cases where this is detrimental.”
The actress also mentioned that she always does what she knows best, which is acting. “I’m almost going through my angsty teenage phase now because I didn’t really have the time to do it before.”

Looking back on her teenage years, Zendaya said: “I felt that I took on responsibilities that were not mine. I supported and helped the family from a young age as if I were an adult,” he noted.
In addition, she herself felt a lot of pressure to be “this perfect being and be everything that other people want her to be and live up to.” The pressure and expectations still make it difficult for her to live in the moment or even enjoy her current success.
The actress also admitted that she never had the opportunity to live as a child without the fear of failure.
Zendaya’s parents, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman and Claire Stoermer, who split in 2016, were both school teachers. She has five older half-siblings from her father’s previous marriage. In 2017, she revealed to Glamor that her father quit his job as a teacher to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.
