Zendaya might be one of the biggest stars on the planet right now, but even she gets a little envious sometimes, especially when it comes to Tom Holland. While doing press for her new movie ‘The Drama’, she opened up about the one thing Tom can do that she just can’t, and fans immediately loved how real she got about it. Forget fame or acting skills; this is about something a lot more random and pretty funny. It’s backflips!
What’s happening: Zendaya’s viral confession
Per Just Jared, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson were doing a light, goofy interview to promote their upcoming movie, ‘The Drama’. At one point, they played a card game, and Rob asked, “Who’s the person in your life you’re most jealous of?”Zendaya didn’t hesitate to answer the question. “I wouldn’t call it jealous, exactly, but when it comes to my person being able to do backflips and stuff like that…” She trailed off, rolling her eyes and laughing. “That kind of pisses me off. Like, what do you mean you can just do that?” She even mimed a backflip while she said it, as if to prove her point.Zendaya admitted, “It’s unfair. I’ve never been able to do a backflip. I wish I could.” Rob just laughed and told her, “I think the ship has sailed.” She agreed, “Yeah, it’s probably too late now.”There’s a reason Tom makes it look so easy. Per MensXP, before ‘Spider-Man’ and all the blockbuster fame, he trained for years in dance and gymnastics. That’s how he nailed all those flips and stunts as Peter Parker.On the other hand, Zendaya’s got her own bag of talents: acting, singing, and the whole stage presence thing. But acrobatics? Not so much. And apparently, that still bugs her just a bit.
