Zendaya is still learning about herself off-screen

Hollywood actress and singer Zendaya, who first found fame as a child, said she’s still learning about herself off-screen.

Zendaya, who is in a relationship with her ‘Spider-Man’ co-star Tom Holland, told ‘W’ magazine: “It’s a thing that I’m figuring out. What other than work brings me joy?” The 28-year-old Hollywood star has tried her hand at various activities over recent years, including pottery and baking.

However, the ‘Euphoria’ star feels she’s still on a journey of self-discovery, reported ‘femalefirst.co.uk’. “For me, it’s been about trying new things - as stupid as it sounds - like pottery or anything with your hands. I can make a good scone now, you know? It’s just trying to discover what my life is outside of the presentation of who I am.”

Last year, the actress claimed that exercise helps her to feel ‘less anxious’. She doesn’t have a strict workout routine, but Zendaya feels that exercising can be really beneficial for her mental health.

She told ‘Vogue’: “It’s a joke amongst my friends and family, but I don’t have a workout practice, per se. I’m not the best at keeping up with it.”

Zendaya recognises the value of staying healthy and active: “I think sometimes people assume that because of what they see of me, maybe I’m a certain way. But when I’m not working, I tend to isolate myself. My therapist, family and friends will tell me, ‘You need to get up and get out’ and I never want to - but when I make myself do it, I realise it’s actually kind of nice. I’m less anxious. I have to really be intentional about taking care of myself. I’m learning to be more responsible for myself and for my own body and looking after it all.”
