Zendaya's stagnant Disney career
- 6 years ago
Zendaya "felt stagnant" toward the end of her days as a Disney star.
The 21-year-old actress starred as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom 'Shake It Up' alongside Bella Thorne, as well as playing K.C. Cooper in 'K.C. Undercover', but has said that when she left the media company after her final episodes aired earlier this year, she had begun to feel stuck in her role as a TV star, and wanted something more.
She said: "It's definitely been a process, especially because I'm coming from this very different world of Disney. Having been consistently on a television show, I felt stagnant. Not having that anymore, I am being seen as a real actress, doing what makes me feel pushed and motivated."
Zendaya is always trying to push herself out of her comfort zone, as that's what makes her "happy".
