Zendaya reflects on being the ‘family breadwinner’: ‘I wish I had gone to school’

Zendaya reflected on his childhood on camera in an interview with Vogue (via People). “I don’t know how much of a choice I had,” she said. “I have complicated feelings about kids, fame and being a public figure, or a child actor.”

“We’ve seen many cases of this being harmful,” he continued. “I think just now, as an adult, I’m starting to think, ‘Okay, wait a minute, I only did what I know, and that’s all What I know.'”

Like many artists, Zendaya entered the world of cinema through Disney, starring in In the rhythmbeside Bella Thorne. The series first aired in 2010, when the actress was just 14 years old. Because of this, she stated that she is “going through the angsty phase of adolescence right now” because she barely had “time to do it before.”

I felt like I had been put in a very adult position: I was becoming the breadwinner of my family very early, and there was a lot of role reversal going on, which just made me an adult, really.

“Now, when I have these moments in my career — like, my first time starring in a film that’s actually going to be in a theater — I feel like I shrink and I can’t enjoy all the things that are happening to me,” he confessed. “I’m really tense, and I think I’ve carried that since I was a kid, never really having the opportunity to just try things.”

“And I wish I had gone to school,” added the TV star. Euphoria. She will play Tashi in Challengersfilm directed by Luca Guadagnino with release scheduled for the end of April in the United States.

The role takes her away from high school characters. “It was kind of scary, because I thought, ‘I hope people see me as someone my own age, or maybe a little older, because I have friends who have kids, or are having kids,'” he said.

“I’m always in high school somewhere — and, it’s worth mentioning, I never went to high school.”
