Zendaya, the talented actress and singer, recently opened up about her time on "Dancing With The Stars" (DWTS), revealing that her experience on the show was far from the glitz and glamour one might expect. In a candid interview, Zendaya admitted that her appearance on the popular dance competition was "a very stressful experience."
The "Euphoria" star, who was just 16 years old when she competed on DWTS in 2013, shared that the pressure of performing live and the intense rehearsal schedule took a toll on her. "It was a lot for a young person to handle," she confessed. "I remember feeling so overwhelmed at times."
Zendaya's partner on the show, Val Chmerkovskiy, was instrumental in helping her navigate the challenges. "Val was amazing," she said. "He really pushed me to do my best, but he also made sure I was okay mentally and emotionally."
Despite the stress, Zendaya acknowledged that the experience was transformative. "It taught me a lot about discipline, hard work, and resilience," she reflected. "I wouldn't be where I am today without that experience."
Interestingly, Zendaya revealed that she hasn't watched DWTS since her time on the show. "I think it's just too close to that stressful experience for me," she explained. "But I have so much respect for the show and everyone who competes on it."
Zendaya's honesty about her DWTS journey resonates with many who have faced similar challenges in their own lives. It's a reminder that even the brightest stars have their struggles, and that growth often comes from pushing through difficult times.
As Zendaya continues to shine in her career, her DWTS experience remains a significant chapter in her story. It's a testament to her strength and determination, proving that even in the face of stress, she can rise above and continue to dazzle us all.
