Zendaya covers the latest issue of Marie Claire magazine. The 19-year-old is one of five “Fresh Faces” featured in Marie Claire’s May 2016 issue, alongside Kylie Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Ellie Goulding and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who each have their own cover as well. Check out some highlights from Zendaya’s interview below:
On why she returned to Disney: “A big reason why I wanted to come back to Disney is because I saw a lack of diversity on the channel. To see a black family, to see a young girl with these adorable Afro puffs…little things like that are so important.”
On going to the Grammys after-party with her dad and New York Giant, Odell Beckham Jr.: “If a guy can handle my dad the first time, then he’s worth giving my time to. If he can’t, then I might as well not waste my time. Just because they’re in the NFL doesn’t mean they get a pass.”
On not worrying about what other people think: “I wore a freaking mullet to the Grammys. I felt like I was killing it. And I was. That’s all that should matter when you step out.”
