Zendaya wows in sportswear after starring as ‘threesome’ tennis coach in Challengers
ACTRESS Zendaya reveals she’s in peak fitness as she poses in the Swiss Alps.
The 28-year-old, who plays an injured tennis star-turned-coach in Challengers, was modelling sportswear brand On’s autumn/winter collection.
She said: “Hilariously enough, my dad was my PE teacher.
“He made it really fun with games and even salsa dancing.”
Back in April, The Sun reported on Zendaya’s life in Britain.
Since shacking up with Brit Spider-Man actor Tom Holland in South-West London, she was more likely to be spotted shopping at Waitrose than at an A-list party.
Despite her scene-stealing role in Dune: Part Two — the highest-grossing film of 2024 at the worldwide box office — the actress was said to spend her free time on guided tours of Hampton Court Palace and popping to trendy London bakery Gail’s.
As if to hammer home her soft spot for England, Zendaya stepped out in a Wimbledon-themed dress at the UK premiere of her new movie, Challengers, in Spring.
Released on April 26, she played Tashi Donaldson, a former tennis player turned coach, who finds herself in a love triangle with The Crown’s Josh O’Connor and Tony Award-nominee Mike Faist.
The trailer sent the internet into meltdown with a steamy scene of the trio getting intimate in a hotel room.
A source who has worked with Zendaya says the star picks her roles carefully to avoid being typecast.
Now worth an estimated £17million, the former Disney Channel star was 19 when she played MJ in the first of three Spider-Man movies alongside Tom as the superhero.
The source told The Sun: “Once she signs on to a job, she gives it her all.
“On Challengers that means graphic sex scenes and some heavy and emotionally complex dialogue as well.
“She’s earning a reputation for never ‘phoning it in’ and always giving 110 per cent, and that’s going to make her a lot richer if she keeps picking hits at the rate she has.”
