As the trailer was revealed, fans started admiring the young actress for her acting as well as her tennis skills. However, Zendaya, who has always been an advocate of ‘No-Nudity’ has been seen doing intimate scenes in the trailer. The actress has a no-nudity clause in her contract.
Thus, playing the role of Rue in Euphoria, she never had any scenes like that because of her contract. However, she always got mixed reactions to the clause. Few individuals have challenged the director’s choice while some have supported Zendaya.
However, the new trailer has left all of her fans shocked. Consequently, fans on social media also started calling out Zendaya’s boyfriend, Spiderman actor, Tom Holland regarding her kissing scene with two guys in the trailer. The couple has been together for the last two years as they confirmed their relationship in 2021 May.

“I knew enough about tennis, but not really. Like, I knew Serena Williams, right? To be able to dive into that world and have to learn it, very hands-on, was special. Now I think it’s one of my favorite sports, especially to watch.” said Zendaya.
Zendaya also revealed that tennis is one of her favorite sports to watch. She also quoted that knowing Serena Williams is special. Moreover, the 25-year-old’s new movie, Challengers, is a tennis dramedy. Thus, she has a lot to learn from Williams.
