Thank you so much for having me by.
7
I know how busy you are.
8
Yeah, of course.
9
Thanks for coming.
10
I'm going to ask you 73 questions.
11
Let's do it.
12
And I see that you're picking a bunch of lemons.
13
Yeah, I'm making lemonade.
14
You want some?
15
I'd love some.
16
I got you.
17
Okay, now question number one.
18
Where does your name originate?
19
Okay, so technically it's a long story, but it's based off a word that means to give thanks.
20
That's pretty.
21
And how would you describe your upbringing?
22
Um, real.
23
Who would you say is your role model growing up?
24
My mom.
25
And today?
26
Has it changed?
27
No, it's still my mom.
28
Why?
29
Because she's a teacher, you know, and she's spent her whole life giving, and I really admire that.
30
Yeah, and what's the first thing you thought of this morning?
31
Can I be honest?
32
Sure.
33
Blowing my nose because I have a little cold right now, so be careful.
34
I'm going to keep my distance.
35
All right.
36
So what's something you do every morning without fail?
37
Oh, unfortunately I check my phone.
38
Same here.
39
Yeah.
40
What gets you out of bed?
41
My dog, Nune.
42
Cute.
43
And you're Virgo.
44
Yeah.
45
What's the most Virgo thing about you?
46
Okay, now this can sound negative, but, like, I'm a little bit of a control freak.
47
Just a little bit.
48
Zendaya, aren't we all?
49
Zendeej!
50
Hey, Darnell.
51
Can you, um, take fees for me?
52
This is Darnell.
53
He's my assistant slash brother slash everything organizer of my life.
54
Hey, Darnell.
55
Hey.
56
Thank you.
57
Okay, so what's the most Californian thing about you?
58
The most Californian thing about me is that I still get excited when I see snow.
59
Like, I think it's really, really cool because obviously we never get snow.
60
So obviously if you see snow all the time, it's not exciting for you, but I think it's cool.
61
And where do you feel most at home?
62
Um, at home.
63
That makes sense.
64
And who do you feel most at home with?
65
Um, I think my dog makes me feel most at home.
66
Now, I suspect that these are rare for you, but if you had a full day off, what would you do with it?
67
Nothing.
68
I would do absolutely nothing.
69
How do you unwind?
70
I do nothing.
71
I just stay inside and watch Harry Potter and just don't do anything.
72
So what's been taking up your days as of late?
73
I'm finishing up my show, Euphoria, so that's been taking up a lot of time.
74
I had literally a night shoot last night.
75
Yeah, Euphoria's been getting some serious buzz.
76
Yeah, I'm very excited about it.
77
And it's such a departure from Disney.
78
What can you tell us about it?
79
I mean, I'm excited and equally terrified, but I don't know.
80
I mean, I can say that it's the most exciting, exhausting, but fulfilling thing I've ever done.
81
What is it that attracted you to Rue?
82
Honestly, I hate reading scripts, and this was the first time I read a script so fast, and I just kept reading and reading and reading, and I don't know, I just fell in love with her.
83
And what was the most difficult part of playing her?
84
I mean, I can only understand how her brain works so much, you know, so I really rely heavily on our writer, creator, director, Sam Levinson, because Rue is basically him, you know?
85
It's his life, so I just ask him.
86
What are you hoping fans get out of the series?
87
I hope they feel something, you know?
88
Like, whatever that is, I don't know.
89
just I hope they feel something.
90
Do you feel pressure when you're deciding to post things on your social media?
91
You know, it's kind of weird.
92
Yeah, I have been more so now than ever before, which I think is a little weird for me, but I just kind of, I don't know, I've just taken a step back and I haven't posted as much anymore.
93
Do you read the comments?
94
No, not really.
95
And And less from my friends, you know, than I read those.
96
How do you deal with negativity?
97
You know, I try to keep in mind, you know, that everyone is dealing with something that we have no idea about, you know?
98
So I just try to have compassion for them, you know?
99
That's very wise.
100
What's something your followers may not know about you?
101
I think they know this, but I'm a very shy, introverted person.
102
And what's been the coolest thing that you've learned from a fan?
103
My fans, they keep me on my toes.
104
They keep me politically aware.
105
They can be socially aware, and they always correct my grammar and spelling.
106
Okay, I get it.
107
I know I can't spell.
108
Okay.
109
So, Dan, I love this fire pit, but it's kind of hot.
110
Yeah, I get that.
111
I know we're in California, and it's sunshiny, but I'm sitting by the fire.
112
See how that could be weird?
113
How would you describe your personal style?
114
You know, the thing is, I don't have one.
115
I don't think I actually have one.
116
What's the most overworn item in your wardrobe?
117
Probably my converse.
118
and what's the most luxe thing that you've ever worn?
119
It's actually a funny story.
120
I went to a premiere, and I had these earrings.
121
They were big, beautiful earrings, and I thought they were fake, to be honest with you.
122
And then there was this article that came out the next day that was like, Zentaya wears million-dollar earrings.
123
And I was like, Law, did you put me in million-dollar earrings last night?
124
He was like, hmm, probably.
125
No, no.
126
What?
127
What?
128
So, long story short, they're not mine.
129
I gave them back.
130
Um, and yeah, probably never happened again because I was so stressful.
131
Who's the most stylish person alive?
132
Uh, La Roche, my stylist.
133
And what would you consider to be your uniform?
134
Probably just black slacks and like a white tee.
135
Vintage or designer?
136
Vintage designer.
137
That's a cheat answer.
138
Sneakers or heels?
139
Sneakers at the moment, but I, um, I do love some heels.
140
What's the all-time greatest purchase you ever made?
141
That's a tough question.
142
I refuse to answer that one.
143
An outfit that maybe you wish you skipped.
144
None of them, actually, because I think they all have equally helped me find my confidence and figure out what I like, so I wouldn't take it back.
145
And what would you say is your beauty philosophy?
146
There are no rules.
147
How about a beauty product that you don't go a day without wearing?
148
SPF.
149
What is the best beauty tip you've ever received?
150
Take your makeup off before you go to bed.
151
I'm serious.
152
Even if you're tired, do it.
153
Noted.
154
Favorite lip color?
155
Red.
156
Your go-to beauty look at this very moment?
157
Um, nothing, honestly.
158
When I'm not working, just nothing.
159
Strong lip or strong eye?
160
Strong eye.
161
Now, I know you often do your own makeup for events.
162
Yeah.
163
Where did you learn those skills?
164
Um, I've had so many makeup horror stories, and I've had so many makeup artists in my past that I just kind of took all the good things from each of them and learned how to do it myself.
165
That act of you doing your own makeup, it's so, I don't know, like old school theater.
166
Yeah, for sure.
167
And I've heard you hone your acting skills via Shakespeare.
168
Yeah, my mom actually works at the California Shakespeare Theater.
169
She's a house manager there since I was like two years old.
170
How many of his plays have you seen?
171
Like all of them, several times.
172
Who's your favorite character in all of Shakespeare?
173
Maybe Viola from Swarth Night.
174
How about your favorite line in any play?
175
If music be the food of love, play on.
176
Ah, I like that one.
177
That's not bad.
178
Noonie!
179
Noon!
180
Love me!
181
Oh.
182
Everyone knows that Noon doesn't love me.
183
He loves my mom and Darnell more.
184
Now your dog Noon has a Twitter account that I saw.
185
Come here!
186
Yeah.
187
Is that right?
188
But surprisingly...
189
Ready?
190
Ready?
191
I don't run it!
192
And what would he tweet about at this very moment if he did?
193
You'd probably tweet like, why are you guys in my backyard?
194
If you could go back and tell 13-year-old Zendaya one thing, what would it be?
195
It would probably be to follow your instincts and follow your gut, because it's always right.
196
And what would you tell other performers navigating fame at a similar age?
197
Read the contracts.
198
No matter how boring they are, read the contracts.
199
Okay, finish this sentence for me.
200
Hollywood of the future looks like...
201
Hopefully, more diverse.
202
Wow, this tree is beautiful.
203
Thanks.
204
Alright, so dancing, trapeze work, martial arts, your work requires strong physical commitment.
205
Yeah.
206
What's been the hardest role to prepare for?
207
You know, honestly, euphoria, because I feel like sometimes the emotional stuff is just as hard as the physical stuff.
208
What's been the most difficult stunt to learn?
209
Trapeze was pretty tough, especially for someone like me who doesn't work out.
210
It was tough.
211
Now on average, how many body slams did you and your fellow 73 alum Zac Efron endure when filming The Greatest Showman?
212
Uh, quite a lot.
213
Let's just say we got very close.
214
Now, I saw on Jimmy Fallon that Hugh Jackman may have helped you overcome your fear of heights.
215
He called me a badass.
216
He did.
217
Yeah, Logan called me a badass.
218
Wolverine called me a badass.
219
A badass.
220

Do you want one?
223
Uh, sure.
224

227
Okay.
228
I trust you.
229
Try it.
230
All right.
231
Mmm, looks delicious.
232
What's your favorite scene to shoot in the latest installment of Spider-Man?
233
Um, you know, there was this one scene stunt thing we did where they basically, they pulled us up like 100 feet and then just dropped us and let us swing.
234
It was, uh, it was pretty nice.
235
That was pretty intense.
236
Yeah, it was, but it was fine.
237
What's something you could share about your co-stars, Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal?
238
That when they are together, no one else exists.
239
Were you a fan of the comics before jumping into the project?
240
Mm-hmm.
241
I think Spider-Man's always been my favorite superhero.
242
Oh, me too.
243
It's like, cool, right?
244
Yeah.
245
What traits in your character, MJ, hit closest to home for Zendaya?
246
I know she's a little bit of a loner and kind of like an introvert, so that's me.
247
What do you think makes you an introvert?
248
I don't know.
249
I just like to stay at home and save myself.
250
I can't help it.
251
Now, if you had any superpower, what would it be?
252
Teleportation, for sure.
253
It would make my life, like, so much easier.
254
Yeah, because you travel a lot.
255
A lot.
256
Any big trips coming up?
257
Um, well, we have the Spider-Man press tour coming up, which is going to be cool.
258
Oh, that's really cool.
259
And by the way, I heard through the grapevine you may be involved in an iconic remake.
260
What can you tell me about this?
261
I'll tell you, but I have to kill you.
262
Don't ask me why I said that in a New York action.
263
So, besides acting, music has been such a strong focus in your career.
264
Yeah.
265
Do you feel more connected to acting or making music at this moment?
266
I don't know, I mean, I always love both, but I don't know, I guess just acting is taking a front seat.
267
What track always ends up on the Zendaya curated playlist?
268
Right now, a lot of Solange.
269
She's been holding me down.
270
What's more important at a party, the playlist or the outfit?
271
Playlist, a thousand percent.
272
Like, if you have a wack playlist, the party will not be popping.
273
If you want the party to jump off, side note, And if anybody needs it, play.
274
This is how we do it.
275
It works every time.

Now, what's a song that you wish you'd written?
277
A song for you by Donny Hathaway.
278
What's the best concert you've seen this year?

280
What's the best advice you've ever received?
281
Oh, that's my cue.

Well done, Darnell.
284
Darnell with the perfect timing.
285

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
