One of a few Disney stars that didn't turn crazy and still managed to gain success after leaving Disney

[@IzzysTravelDiaries]

She has great parents. Most kid stars that ended up having problems as adults had parents who were pretty bad.

[@laiocam]

@@IzzysTravelDiaries exactly. Educators

[@katyaguilera7622]

agree

[@nope5033]

She is so much more than a regular actress. Her acting is outstanding, she is a wonderful singer but it's even more than that. She is 24 years old and already has a bigger impact on the world than most people do in a lifetime. Even though she had around 5 lines in spiderman homecoming her lines are still the most iconic from the movie. There's just this thing about her that says I get you. I don't know what it is. But we don't deserve her. She will take over the world one day and I just hope I'll be there to see it.

[@BEASTSAPTHAGIRI]

Me also hopes to see zendaya rule the world

[@Mrmapleleaffan13]

From Disney Channel star to Emmy winning actress just amazing

[@biazacha]

And in just a couple of years; usually take a while to former Disney starts be taken seriously, let alone be in a project like Euphoria.

[@angelablack7946]

Zendaya is a breath of fresh air. Beautiful, talented, outspoken, an inspiration for all. I would be proud if my daughters wanted to be like her.

[@msfriendsfan4ever788]

Unlike some other former disney stars, Zendaya never ran into trouble with the law.

[@neddyconstant5816]

Including Hilary Duff never got arrested either. Time 10:30PM Sat 10/17/20

[@msfriendsfan4ever788]

@Emani Blue so true, and she didn't even change her image. She remained steadfast

[@serenitybeats1677]

@Emani Blue this is a little tone deaf. As a lightskin biracial woman, she has had SO much privilege in the entertainment industry

[@serenitybeats1677]

@Emani Blue miley received a shit ton of hate

[@darkunicorn1203]

Zendaya, Hilary Duff, Ashley Tisdale and Zack Efron.

[@justindrexeldiprimuo2575]

Can you please highlight that she’s also THEE youngest recipient of the outstanding lead actress in a drama series Emmy award

[@rayneozier]

I’m a simple man, I see Zendaya and I click.

[@Zacman1123]

Someone with good taste.

[@anareiacoe5972]

I was a fan of zendaya since day one

[@playkidzuni1961]

Me too

[@river6048]

I grew up with Zendaya on Disney channel. Wonderful actress

[@rickardkaufman3988]

Since Euphoria. I felt Spiderman underutilized her.

[@prixiejynvallenas2826]

I love the story of Zendaya from back from Disney channel to Emmy Winner

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

I’m just so proud of her. She so young and still has her whole life ahead of her. That Emmy will open bigger doors for her. She can only go up from here. 💕

[@sanayahmarshall1124]

I want to meet her so bad and thank her for everything that’s she’s done and accomplished. She’s such an icon and I want to give her the biggest hug and tell her how much she’s impacted our community, and my personal life. She’s such an amazing actress, and an even better woman ❤️

[@zimanamoni]

Zendaya is just my biggest role model because she is not scared to speak her mind she also stands up for issues she believes in and her winning an Emmy just shows how far she has come and I still can't wait to see what she she has in store for us

[@user-nn3di3qb2q]

She deserve the world But unfortunately the world don't deserve the goddess Z

[@veronica21]

Deserves. ..... Doesn't. ..

[@user-nn3di3qb2q]

I can’t belive I have a like from msmojo 🤩

[@josegiron7008]

She knows how to choose quality roles that's why, haven't seen any failure thus part from her

[@frederique1019]

That AND she knows how to act all these roles in such a nuanced way that even if it’s a bad movie, she’ll probably be the best part of that movie.

[@ruby-py7fx]

no one can talk badly about the greatest showman. that movie is incredible

[@darkunicorn1203]

In fact the movie that I appreciated her talent ...but she's soo good in Dancing with the Stars

[@adolfopena7358]

I'm so happy for her. I can't believe an actress I grew up got so much success.

[@mibarra122]

Zendayas Oscar look made fall in love with her. She looked so beautiful.

[@ambrieyellesings508]

The fact that this entire video is JUST Zendaya 😍😍😍

[@anweshamishra7868]

Meaning of Gen-Z is now Generation-Zendaya, the queen.

[@j-trainthomason4433]

I still remember watching her acting debut on the Shale It Up Premiere! She was instantly my favorite not just for her talent, but for her kind heart as well. What's also remarkable is that she knows who she is and stays true to who she is. The fact that she's carved out so much success in her own way and uses her influence to help others in a civil and humbling way, makes me feel blessed to be there to witness her beginnings.

[@ThePeachTube]

Young queen energy💯🙏🏼she’s gonna be one of the most successful and influential people on this planet EVER.

[@Lily-fb6jx]

So excited to see her in Dune. She's gonna be amazing.

[@karabokhanyile]

I discovered her in 2016 K.C Undercover and loved her comedic style of acting and found her to be really funny. Me being a introverted tomboy,I felt represented by K.C Cooper and ever since I have always supported Zendaya and will continue to do so cause her personality is just a cherry on top for me.

[@FlowerMama23]

Can we say "Future Oscar Winner"??!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!

[@toxicsaraorea12]

She's my favourite actres

[@madmudd96]

I had to stop watching Fashion Police after Juliana made that comment...

[@christabellll]

She made a mistake. I honestly believe she didn’t realise how racist she came across. Most importantly, she learned from it.

[@maxad1148]

It’s amazing how much she has already accomplished and has so much ahead of her. She deserves the absolute best. She deserves it all!!

[@SGHS2009]

I met Zendaya's mom at my old job. And she is the sweetest person I've ever met.

[@aliblue3605]

Loved Zedaya’s and Zack’s Rewrite the Stars duet.

[@tianasprincess5827]

zendaya has always been a queen in my eyes

[@malaykatoure4560]

Disney stars aren't actors, Zendaya never was a disney star, she was a Disney ICON

[@megabananabubblegum]

I love Zendaya so much, she is so amazing in everything that she does. I've admired her from the beginning when she was on Disney and she's continued to shine and become an icon

[@rayneozier]

Like most people I was introduced to Zendaya through Shake it up and I’ve been a Stan every since. She seems like such a great person and a great roll model. Gotta love it 👍🏽

[@miamckenzie6861]

Ah! I was hoping this video would include her super hands on fashion collab with Tommy H. where she had only women of color of all ages as well as sizes walk the runway. 💛

[@wong.-.994]

this queen is gonna do amazing things in the future I just know it and that talk about racism all yall haters need to take notes and be mature and not so childish our else you'll just get left behind. Zendaya truly inspires people and I just hope people follow her lead.

I want Zendaya, Amandla, and maybe Skai to work on something I just know it would be amazingggg

[@Raven-dc7cw]

It's crazy how everyone thought that Bella Throne was going to be the breakout star of Shake It Up and they kind of pushed Zendaya in the background but Zendaya stood her ground and kept going and now look where she's at😊⭐✨

[@darkunicorn1203]

Truth

[@Lanipooh1]

I’m so unbelievably proud of her

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

When I was watching the Emmys live, the signal when out before they announced her as the winner, and I didn't find out when the signal came back right when she finishing her awards speech. But I'm still so proud of her.

How she so goood at lifeee

[@joebinienda5283]

A fantastic young talent.

[@lookzbyraelois]

I didn't know Zendaya was racially mixed! That's so cool!! I watched one of Zendaya's TV shows, "Shake It Up," and that was the only show I recognized her from.

[@thedeadd.c.207]

Had a massive crush on Zendaya when I was a kid, she's the same age as me, and yes, she is still my celebrity crush. How could she not be!

My entire family loves, Loves, LOVES Zendaya! She is Magnificent in DUNE2! We even enjoyed her recent Puppy Interview, too! lol

[@scottsummers4234]

They way her and Bella Thorne's careers are at opposites now 😬

[@s-nih]

@Hepl me reach 10 000 Subscribers but I think Miranda Cosgrove still has a good head on her shoulders. Bella, however... :/

[@mikayla.k7612]

Dang I just realized and I mean this respectfully how the side/supporting characters and actresses Ariana Grande and Zendaya are so big. It’s very ironic cause on their first tv shows (victorious and shake) it up they were side characters and didn’t get the full credit they deserve. And now Ari is the a big singer these days won Grammys, while Zendaya is big for the acting industry and winning emmys. They both took a really good path and didn’t go crazy after their shows.

[@OscarMPG1]

Of all the actors and actresses I've seen come out of the Disney channel from ones who showed promise only to destroy their own careers (Shia Labeouf, Lindsay Lohan) to the talentless (Hillary Duff, Bella Thorne, Miley Cyrus) to the controlled ( Jonas boys) to the messed up (Demi Lovato, Orlando Brown) to the douchebags (Jake and Logan Paul). I'm glad to see Zendaya come through unscathed. Her and Zac Efron.

[@neddyconstant5816]

U must be lying Hilarys career was Never destroyed Hilary still has A clean image today. Hilarys career from disney was never destroyed Other disney actors not Hilary. Time 10:26PM Sat 10/17/20

[@s-nih]

Completely agree!! Her and Zac are my favourites. I love that they starred in Greatest Showman together, it just seemed so right

[@aliblue3605]

Her and Zack (Greatest Showman) were better than Zack and Vanessa (High School Musical)
