Your obsessed and she certainly can act, she's just not the best. She's self-made and got her start on Disney because of that. Timmy is a rich NYC kid that went to school with other rich theatre kids. He should be better... Liltimmytim was boarding private planes and Zendaya's parents drove her 9 hrs to auditions and took a risk. Learn how to respect different people and their strengths. She's excellent in other artistic forms@@enchantedboy66
