Zendaya Was Nervous About Venus Williams Seeing ‘Challengers’

Buy Me A Coffee

In a tale of tennis, love, and celebrity nerves, Zendaya served up some hilarious insights about her new flick “Challengers” and a VIP viewer she was totally anxious about.

Picture this: a 27-year-old actress stepping onto the court of cinema with a love triangle in tow. Yep, Zendaya’s the racket-wielding protagonist in this on-screen adventure, slated to hit theaters on April 26th. But what’s got her sweating more than a marathon match? Well, it’s not just the popcorn munchers in the audience.

So, there she was, strutting her stuff at the movie’s glitzy Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday (April 16). And guess who decided to volley into the scene? None other than tennis ace Venus Williams! Zendaya’s reaction? Pure comedy gold.

“I heard she showed up, and I was like, ‘Hold up! Is this for real?’” Zendaya spilled to ET, her nerves dancing like a tennis ball on fast serve. But wait, it gets better. Zendaya’s got Serena Williams on her fan list, and knowing that Venus was there too? Let’s just say her backhand might need some extra practice.

Feeling the pressure of having a tennis pro critique her on-screen skills, Zendaya preemptively offered Venus an apology. Yup, she was ready to volley some humor even if her tennis strokes weren’t exactly Wimbledon-worthy.

But it wasn’t just the fear of a grand slam embarrassment keeping Zendaya on her toes. Nope, she’s been basking in the love and support from her entourage. At the premiere, she had her Euphoria crew cheering her on, and let’s not forget the boyfriend, Tom Holland, who’s been serving up some serious love.

“It’s like, totally awesome. I mean, I’m feeling lucky here. Surrounded by this epic squad of support,” Zendaya gushed. And can you blame her? With family and friends rallying behind her, she’s got a fanbase that’s tighter than a pair of tennis shorts after a long match.

Zendaya’s serving laughs, love, and maybe just a tad bit of tennis terror in her latest movie adventure. Let’s see if she can ace it on and off the court! 🎾🎬
