Zendaya dishes on going to tennis school for weeks leading up to filming her new movie "Challengers," and shares how she pivoted away from training with a real ball so she could approach the sport like dance choreography.

Kelly is right, Z looks incredible with the tennis choreography!

[@cakey_spam]

For real! She looks so good

[@bi.fruitsalad]

I’ve seen you since the end of 2018 😂😂

[@mihirachandel2272]

i seriously used to think as a kid that all actors learnt to do a sport before filming it

[@viniciusjesus2867]

Well back in the day they have too there's no special effects to back then up.

[@IndomitableT]

Many people do, because it is made to look real, however some go far with practicing, I mean e.g. Kate Winslet holding her breath for seven minutes, easily beating someone like Tom Cruise mind you, is quite the achievement❣️😌

[@HiddenSeven]

we all learn to do sports even for years but not many can perform at that level.

[@Littlething41]

​@@viniciusjesus2867Yeah so many actors talked about the challenges preparing for a role. Like Hugh Jackman didn't want to be Wolverine anymore because of the rigorous workouts. But nowadays technology and CGI can eliminate all of that.

[@ImAshley2023]

They did and still do. But they are usually given 1-3 months to learn. Not enough to look like an absolute professional who's trained 10 years or they're whole lives. So stunt doubles have ALWAYS been used, it's not new. Most times it to protect the star from injury as per contract. But Z did learn and somewhat mastered her trapeze work in The Greatest Showman, yet she still had a stunt double, though didn't use her double that much. Tom Cruise always had the option of a stunt double but loved the lengthy challenge of being that guy, so they just let him

[@bobcandon3977]

So smart. I never thought actors looked good playing sports professionals. They've come up with something better.

[@KrisWickliffe]

I love how classy this stunning woman is and yet so down to earth and unrelatable❤❤ Kelly is very much the same way and I think these two will really be friends outside the studio. Fantastic interview from two beautiful people inside and out❤

[@KrisWickliffe]

Edit typo should say so relatable exclamation point

[@keddieduncan1154]

Zendaya is phenomenal period

[@lilachodan4941]

0:36 😅 love Kelly's reaction

[@ellab2009]

i hope z knows how much of a blessing she is

[@zendayafan-j3t]

Zendaya always looks incredible ❤

[@candicer4626]

What an incredible job it is to be an actor. They must have so many stories of all their experiences and training and things they tried. They get an idea what it means to wear all these different hats and they can still decide hey I like this I want to go to school and pursue this on the side or have direction resources dreams support it's just so wild. They are are very lucky people who yes work hard but we all work hard in our own way and don't always achieve the same opportunities. It makes me happy for them especially to see the evolution of it all.

[@andydv27]

So excited to see Zendaya on Kelly's show!!

"Did you get good?" Perfectly good sentence

No it isn’t

[@sij809]

​@@boudiccam4417pretty sure it is boudi

[@perfectly_normal_human_nam627]

Dear @boudiccam4417, I believe what you meant to write was 'No, it wasn't." if you are to be shit, then at the very least be clever about it.

[@jakepowers7382]

@@perfectly_normal_human_nam627incredible comment

[@Squant]

@@perfectly_normal_human_nam627 I agree with your comment in essence, but you tried way too hard to sound clever yourself and nobody likes a tryhard.

[@joettaflyascanbee4659]

Kelly Clarkson looks so good! Zendaya is so elegant.

[@17mgyus]

love her

[@allentrice1547]

That's great to hear Zendaya for "Challenges!" Not the dimension of tennis courts. 🎾❤

[@vinetm3935]

These are 2 of my favorite friends in my head 😊

I know I will see this movie more than once this weekend😍

Too funny! 😂 ❤❤❤❤

We love your show kelly clarkson

[@ps3301]

It is obvious that even actors cant act like they can serve. That is one tough motion to mimic

[@radiohead2206]

Kelly Looks so healthy 😊 And 🔥

[@mystikwand6115]

Ozempic works miracles wow!

[@nattywho]

She’s so cute!!!

[@marlenegabrielacontrerasga5929]

las amo ❤

[@weim107]

Only tennis players can tell she's not really hitting a ball 😂 I came here right after watching her first game on the movie. When she hits the ball the ball goes somewhere you don't expect it to go. That's the post production fault too I think.

[@dezmondharris3644]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Natalia-mm6pf]

Only 5 minutes of the interview with Zendaya !?

[@joycemoyer9214]

Has Kellys show moved network or time. I cant find her today.

[@briansnyder9012]

Interesting ❤😊

Like wow… Kelly looks younger here , like American idol days,

[@lethalfang]

Tennis is a very difficult sport. A lot harder than it looks.

Is Kelly Clarkson on ozempic?

Kelly on that Ozempic

[@utetennisfan5458]

So old. Did you dab after typing that?

[@shuinful1249]

💯 not ozempic

at least someone else sees it. Though it might not be that exact brand of semaglutide

[@hussienalsafi1149]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kellybarbie2907]

I got five on it

[@jaimeantoniomangune5793]

Fans reacting to Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist kissing Zendaya. Marvel fans that Tom Holland is gonna be mad

[@peachesandpoets]

This was filmed months ago, if not over a year ago, and the trailer has been out, and Tom isn't mad. 😂

[@itsjocelynpadua]

I’ll never understand why people make comments like this. She’s just doing her job and Tom is very supportive. He’s gone with her to just about every red carpet event and press panel for this movie. He looks to be very proud of her.

[@kayliahferrero]

Zendaya is a really nice person. She's an ok actress though.

[@ImAshley2023]

Go watch Euphoria bro. Then watch it again. Then again.

[@kayliahferrero]

@@ImAshley2023 she's ok her range aint that great though.

[@KrisWickliffe]

Wait till you see her in Challengers and you will know what a fantastic actress she is🎉

[@kayliahferrero]

@@KrisWickliffe we'll see it should be on streaming soon given that its performing poorly at the box office. Nice girl but dont see the appeal.

[@chrisbricky7331]

There is nothing wrong with capitalism. Except we have not now nor over the last 100 years been a capitolist society here in the west. We are a Corporate Fascist economy with the Government protecting the Corporations and banks above the citizens. Our Constitutional Republic in America is in shreds as non elected officials hold more power over our economy than the President, Senate or Congress. Unelected officials like the Head of the Federal Reserve or the head of the CDC hold more power than all of congress and the senate. The CIA has departments that do not answer to Congressional Oversight. The FBI has departments that do not answer to Congressional Oversight. Congress just gave itself immunity to IRS audits. The government gave Pharma companies immunity from prosecution for illegally developed and dangerous and deadly medications that don't even work. The government bailed out and is bailing out banks. Not the people the banks stole money from, not the taxpayers, but the banks and investors. Our government pays the Fed to print money, the Fed prints the money, then lends it to the US Government. Making everything cost more and always raising inflation. Which, inflation is a tax on the people. The Fed is directly responsible for causing inflation. Currently to even address what is wrong with our Economy, we first have to address all the things wrong and illegal under our Constitution. The Constitution was designed to protect us from Governments and Corporations. Every time it is allowed to be changed or amended by non elected officials without an actual Constitutional Amendment passed by 2/3's of Congress and Senate and the States. Any law that is enacted without that is not a legal law under our constitution. Congress was never meant to be a full time position. It was never meant to write laws or pay itself. Our fore fathers warned us what would happen if Congress got to pay itself and regulate itself. Our Country is in such dire shape because of this. Congress is to pass a budget for the upcoming year, then go home. Or Congress is to meet only to declare war. That is their only Constitutional Duty. Nowhere does it say Congress gets paid in the Constitution or that they get to pass laws. All laws are supposed to be passed locally by the state. If they disagree with the Constitution, they are invalid. The Senate has a couple of jobs. Review appointments by the President and to Ratify treaties. They are not supposed to be paid, they are not supposed to make new laws. Our biggest mistake so far has been allowing Politicians to give themselves salaries, make themselves immune to prosecution, get rich while being a public service and usurp state's rights. New National laws were supposed to be by Constitutional Amendment only. So important enough that 2/3's of the population thinks its necessary. No established letter agency has the power to write or enact laws. That is the Constitution. Yet we see time and again, unelected officials deciding what is and isn't a law by just writing it themselves or enacting something prewritten for them by a Corporation. We also see new laws by Judicial Fiat, or a Judge just proclaiming their opinion is more powerful than the Constitution and that their new interpretation is now law. We are in a horrible spot in history. Our country has turned into a Corporate Fascist Dictatorship and our elections have been defrauded and stolen in front of our face. Our government is violating the Constitution and its protections in concert with working with Corporations. Very sad. Chris

[@dallaschambers4149]

Just saw the movie. Not good

[@J.Note68]

For those who may not know, the audience were being hired to continually laugh for everything basically even if the shit is not funny.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

This is not a late night show.

[@mjr4058]

funny to me😂

[@adden2242]

Dont worry Zendaya im also never good in tennis lol not my fave sport.

[@riverzala9186]

I love her , but is this going to be believable? I hope so - have you seen female tennis players - they don't look like her ! And have athletes bodies. ❤ But I do like her

[@ericB3444]

Zendyball opens with.: “Wow yous have defrumperized. Yous is a 7.333 now.”

[@tasintamron]

I’m actually a little disappointed that she used a double instead of actually getting good at tennis lol. No point in her even “training” if she wasn’t using an actual ball. She’s young and I think she’s more than capable of learning and making it as close to believable as possible.

[@hoover728]

In a few weeks? It takes years to get good enough to pass as a professional.

[@vinetm3935]

Ahh if only she were being paid to pretend. As if pretending wasn't her job.....😎

[@ImAshley2023]

Saying she can do it because she's young is ridiculous. The 6 weeks given was not enough time for her muscles to adapt to the form of tennis playing and to look like a real PRO. If that was the case then you yourself could roll out of bed tomorrow and decide that your going to become a Tennis Pro and face off with Serena in 6 weeks. Everyone could do it. But No. It takes time to build that kind of muscle memory and then expand on it. Mike Faist was better than the other 2 because he actually started training as soon as he learned he got the roll, so he showed up to training already trained, then just expanded on it during his time training with them & Brad. Z was busy filming Euphoria & Dune 2 so couldn't commit as early as him. If she had 6 months to a year to train to be good at tennis & simply look like a pro I'm sure she could do it then. But not because she's young. But because she would have more time. Learning Trapeze Arts for The Greatest Showman was easier for her, so she didn't need as much time, she was actually good at it, even with a double for backup

[@ImAshley2023]

​@@vinetm3935 Right? The guys had doubles as well, even though Mike was a little better at playing. And yes, they still needed to train even if they planned to add the balls in Post. It's like if you had to act with CGI characters or objects, still have to practice

[@KristineMaitland]

I was disappointed that Zendaya did not identify her stunt double. Keanu names all his fight team and understands how important they are.

[@billiestevens318]

So they had stomach troubles what is all this nonsense about them learning how to play tennis

[@vanessag5449]

seeing it at the weekend❤❤❤
