It is rather remarkable that Zendaya is now 26 years old.
She has been cranking out titles since she was about 14, so it kind of knocked me on my butt when I was told she is now 26 years old.
So, of course, I did a little digging, and she is hardly the girl she was when she made “Good Luck Charlie” in 2011.
She Grew Up
When Zendaya first entered the industry, it was all music videos, voiceovers, and kid shows.
That changed in 2017 when she played Michelle in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
Still not 21, she had become a sex symbol and had the entire country falling in love with her…
After her second Spiderman movie, she was officially on the map, leading to “Euphoria.”
For her portrayal of drug-addicted Rue, she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2020…
She was the youngest actress to have ever won that award, cementing her place in history…
She grew up right before our eyes, and to think we have probably yet to see the best of this young lady just yet.
