Zendaya opened up about her parents’ reaction to her sexy scenes in Challengers. The trailer had already revealed that Zendaya has a threesome scene with her co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. In a new interview, Zendaya revealed that her parents had joined her at the premiere and watched the sex scenes with her in the room. She revealed that while they were aware about the contents of the film owing to the rating, it was ‘hilarious’ to see their reactions.
“It was hilarious,” she said. “They’ve all seen Euphoria, you know, so it’s not like our first rodeo or anything,” she added. Delving further into her family’s reactions, Zendaya said, “It was funny ’cause, you know, obviously I’ve seen the movie many times so I know what’s coming, and they were all sitting behind me, and I got to, like, watch them watch and slowly just be like, ‘Oh god.'”
The sexy scenes are garnering attention has been one of the biggest talking points during Challengers’ press tour. Addressing the attention it is getting, Zendaya told Jake Hamilton in an interview that is ‘very odd.’
“Do you feel like, as a society, people have forgotten that an actor kissing another actor is literally a part of your job? Or are they using it as an excuse to get you to talk about kissing?” Hamilton asked.
“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. 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,” Zendaya said.
Challengers is releasing on April 26.
