With Challengers, there are also a lot of intimate scenes of Zendaya with her co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor.
While addressing people’s need to ask her questions about those particular scenes only, Zendaya shut the questions real quick!
When Zendaya Was Asked About Her Intimate Scenes (Again)
The actress has been asked enough times about her intimate scenes with Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor in the film that she is tired of it. While dating Spider-Man star Tom Holland, Zendaya has been the subject of numerous jokes due to her intimate scenes. In an interview with Jake’s Takes Zendaya explained that it is completely normal in her profession.
“I know, it’s very odd. I have no idea. I don’t know if it’s because they want it to be, like, a viral thing, I don’t know. But I have noticed that, with me specifically. I feel like other actors don’t… if it was somebody else here, you probably wouldn’t [have] asked that question.”
She further continued,
“But yeah, it is a part of my job, and it is a completely normal part of the job despite, I think, maybe other people’s perception of our job. But yeah, it is odd. I’m like, this is weird!”
Well, Zendaya is surely not wrong in her statements. With the recent release of the film (just a day ago), Challengers has received a rating of 7.8/10 on IMDB and a whopping 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Zendaya-starrer film is currently screening in theaters across the world.
