Zendaya, for those unaware, is a 29-year-old American singer and actor, often described as being the most powerful celebrity on Earth. She became a child star working in the Disney entertainment complex, though has lately become known for playing Rue in the sexy, saucy Gen Z-defining Euphoria, which will return for a fourth series on HBO next month.
