Zendaya Jokes About Her Character Tashi Duncan In ‘Challengers’

Buy Me A Coffee

Zendaya’s got a knack for rolling with the punches, even when those punches come in the form of a hilarious spoof.

Picture this: Zendaya, tennis gear on point, oversized racket in hand, ready to smash some balls. Except, in this Instagram reel reposted by the comedic Danielle Pinnock, Zendaya’s character from “The Challengers” is just there, courtside, looking as nonchalant as a sloth on a Sunday. Balls are flying, but Zendaya’s expression says, “Eh, not my circus.”

Pinnock, known for her roles in “Ghosts” and “Young Sheldon,” nails the deadpan humor, and Zendaya can’t help but crack up. She shares the spoof on her own Instagram Stories, giving it the stamp of approval with a hearty “Absolutely.”

But Zendaya doesn’t stop there. Nope, she adds a laughing emoji and a heart because, hey, when someone gets your sense of humor, you gotta show some love.

As “The Challengers” serves its way into theaters, Zendaya’s nerves are on full display. Leading a film for the first time? That’s a whole new ball game. But with the support and hype from fans, Zendaya’s feeling the love.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, she spills her feelings, thanking everyone for the encouragement. And hey, she’s not above a little self-awareness, urging viewers not to judge her character too harshly. After all, it’s all in good fun, right? #teamtashi forever!
