Zendaya is unsure if she will ever become a pop star. Prior to this, the star contributed songs to the soundtracks for the 2017 film The Greatest Showman and the HBO drama Euphoria, as well as releasing multiple singles between 2011 and 2013.
Zendaya revealed that she and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson had previously discussed the possibility of her becoming a pop star in response to Andrew Garfield’s question in Variety’s Actors on Actors issue published Tuesday.
“I was like, ‘I don’t know if I could ever be a pop star.’ It’s because as an actor, there’s a level of anonymity that I get to have, which I really like.”
Additionally, Zendaya stated that acting is her preferred form of artistic expression.
“I get to sort my stuff, whatever that is, through a character, and nobody needs to know about it. Whereas in other forms and other mediums, it’s all you all the time,” zendaya added.
She concluded in response to Andrew’s suggestion that Zendaya’s preference for acting over music was related to boundaries: “Yes, limitations. Learning what benefits me.”
