Zendaya has recently opened up about her family's reaction to her latest movie, which features some of her most daring scenes to date.
The actor revealed that her nieces were the 'most uncomfortable' out of everyone.
Ahead of the release of her newest flick, Zendaya has been actively participating in media rounds.
She stars alongside Josh O'Connor from The Crown and Mike Faist from West Side Story in this new venture.
With a threesome scene, it's fair to say this is Zendaya's most risqué movie yet.
In 'Challengers', Zendaya plays Tashi, a former tennis player turned coach, who has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion.
The plot thickens when she makes him play a challenger event to jolt him out of his recent losing streak.
Tensions escalate when he finds himself facing Patrick, his former best friend and Tashi's ex-boyfriend, across the net.
The movie has sparked numerous questions from the media, with one particular interview leaving viewers cringing at the awkward questions posed to Zendaya.
-To promote the film, Zendaya appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (April 18), donning a gray Ralph Lauren blazer and white high stiletto heels. The host and the actor shared a light-hearted exchange about their matching outfits.
Zendaya also discussed her family’s reaction to the racy scenes in 'Challengers'.
She mentioned that she had warned her family about the sexual themes in the movie.
The actor humorously shared how she watched her family's reactions during those scenes, finding their discomfort amusing.
She said: "But I forewarned them. It was honestly my favorite part of the night. Cause I’ve seen the movie many times."
Zendaya added: "I know when the scenes are coming so when those scenes were happening I just was watching my family because they were behind me, so I just watched them the whole time, it was hilarious."
"And then my little nieces were back there, I mean they’re grown-ups but they’re 18," Zendaya said.
"It was my favorite part of the night."
Previously, Zendaya revealed that she 'loved' filming the intimate scenes in 'Challengers'.
This is quite different from the discomfort many actors usually feel.
Zendaya expressed her gratitude for being paired with skilled performers and for the supportive environment created by director Luca Guadagnino.
She felt lucky to have their support and collaboration throughout the making of the film.
