She is a singer, dancer and an actress but Zendaya thinks the biggest part of her career is being a role model and staying a role model. Zendaya may be tempting fate in committing to often the hard to live up role but she maintains she will not struggle like her other child star colleagues.
The 19-year-old has just been named Complex Magazine’s Woman of Next Year and has made it clear she does not plan to have a ‘Miley Moment’.
In the interview which is in the December/January issue, the star swears unlike other Disney and Nickelodeon stars before her she does not plan to go off the rails.
When asked about Miley Cyrus’ departure from the good clean Disney kid mold, Zendaya said: ‘A lot of them were forced into being role models and they had to pretend to be something that they didn’t feel matched up with who they were.
‘And that’s because they started really, really young. So you’ve got to realize when you’re really young you don’t know who you are yet. And as soon as you figure it out, you’ve already been forced to become something that you didn’t really know you signed up for.
