Zendaya, the 29-year-old actress with a golden touch on both the big and small screen, is giving fans a glimpse into her thoughts on relationship dealbreakers. While promoting her latest film "The Drama" – where she stars alongside Robert Pattinson as an engaged couple navigating the rocky waters of wedding chaos – Zendaya got candid about what sets off alarm bells in her relationships.
In a chat with Interview Magazine, Zendaya and Pattinson, who have become fast friends after working on three movies together, took turns discussing those sneaky red flags. "As I’ve matured, I think a red flag is a red flag, you feel me?" Zendaya shared, echoing the sentiments of many around sunny SoCal.
“One that works for us at work is how people treat their crews," she said, emphasizing the importance of kindness in the entertainment industry. "A very telling thing is how a crew feels about a particular actor, because they get to see how people are when the cameras are not rolling.”
Zendaya revealed that a key work pet peeve of hers revolves around how people treat those behind the scenes. She values kindness and authenticity, citing crew opinions as a strong indicator of character. "I admire people who are kind to everyone, not just the actors, directors, or producers," she said.
The conversation took a playful turn when Pattinson asked about her furry friend. "If someone looked at your dog in a funny way, is that a red flag?" he teased. Zendaya laughed in agreement, "I would get into a fight over my dog, for sure."
In another interview with Mirror, Zendaya praised her beau, Tom Holland, for his serene presence both on and off set. "On set he has this huge calming presence that not only puts me at ease but also everybody he works with," she shared.
Discussing their high-profile relationship, Zendaya highlighted the balancing act they perform between public exposure and private life. "Neither of us want to hide and not live our lives...but at the same time, we want to protect our privacy," she mentioned, reflecting the relaxed yet protective attitude of many Los Angeles couples.
Ultimately, Zendaya's insights shed light on her personal values and how they play into her dynamic with Holland. It's a refreshing peek into the life of one of Hollywood's favorite couples, where respect and understanding reign supreme.
