It’s a big year for Zendaya, with four movies and a long-anticipated third season of her hit show.
The Golden Globe winner recently recalled juggling production on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three and the third season of HBO’s Euphoria.
“I remember being on set for Euphoria; it was a night shoot at a ranch,” she told Elle. “I was so tired, but I was also learning my Chakobsa lines for Dune. And then I started writing out my lines to memorize for that quick turnaround trip I was going to make to Iceland [for The Odyssey].”
Zendaya added, “It’s not like I have a lot of lines in The Odyssey, but I was working with Christopher Nolan! The most embarrassing thing in life would be messing up my lines, which did happen once.”
Following the premiere of A24’s The Drama last month in theaters, Zendaya can currently be seen reprising her role as Rue Bennett in Sam Levinson’s Euphoria, airing Sundays at 9pm ET on HBO and HBO Max.
Premiering July 17, Zendaya next appears as Athena in The Odyssey, followed shortly by Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31, in which she reprises her role as MJ. Zendaya also returns to her role as Chani in Dune: Part Three, premiering Dec. 18.
In March, Zendaya said that she’s “disappearing for a little bit” after her busy onscreen year. “I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year because I’ll tell you what … I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit,” she said.
