The "Dune" star has two Emmys and a Golden Globe under her belt, but is still a bit miffed about something that happened in her early career.
Zendaya is just being honest — and is still a little annoyed about one early career moment.
The “Dune” star has two Emmys and a Golden Globe win under her belt, but before her leap from the Disney Channel to award-winning blockbusters, she competed on “Dancing With the Stars” — and lost.
“Listen, I’m still harboring a little animosity about that,” Zendaya told W Magazine for a cover story interview published Friday. “I felt that loss. I was only 16 years old, and it was highly stressful. Being on live television every week? It’s so scary.”
