What’s Happening: Zendaya’s Viral Confession
Just Jared, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson were giving a light and goofy interview to promote their upcoming movie “Drama.” At one point, they were playing a card game, and Rob asked, “Who is the person in your life that you are most jealous of?”Zendaya didn’t hesitate to answer the question. “I wouldn’t call it jealous, exactly, but when it comes to my personality being able to do backflips and things like that…” she trailed off, rolled her eyes, and laughed.
“That kind of bothers me. Like, what do you mean you can do that?” She even mimed a backflip while saying it, as if to prove her point.“It’s unfair. I’ve never been able to do a backflip. I wish I could,” Zendaya admitted. Rob laughed and told her, “I think the ship has sailed.” “Yes, it’s probably too late now,” she agreed.There’s a reason Tom makes it look so easy. According to MensXP, before “Spider-Man” and all the blockbuster fame, he trained for years in dance and gymnastics.
That’s how he perfected all those flips and stunts as Peter Parker.Zendaya, on the other hand,’s got her own bag of talent: acting, singing, and all-around stage presence. But acrobatics? Not much. This still seemed to bother her a little.
