Zendaya has starred in many projects throughout her career, from popular Disney TV shows to blockbuster films, but there is one project that was so "stressful" that she hasn't watched the show since.
During an appearance on The Awardist podcast on Thursday (October 3), the Challengers star, now 28, revealed she hasn't kept up with popular competition series Dancing With the Stars since she appeared as a contestant in 2013 when she was 16 years old, acknowledging that she might not be the exact audience for the program, per E! News.
"I have not watched Dancing With the Stars since I was on," she said. "I didn't really watch Dancing With the Stars before I was on Dancing With the Stars. I don't think I was the target demographic. My grandma loves Dancing With the Stars, that's her bag."
While still a teen, Zendaya kept up with other contestants with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy and even made it to the finale, facing off against country star Kellie Pickler and her partner Derek Hough. Looking back at the experience, the Dune actress recalled how "stressful" it was and how she doesn't really want to relive it by watching it play out on the screen.
"I also think it was a very stressful experience," she said. "I was like, 'I don't think I'm gonna be watching this anymore.'"
