“They’ve all seen Euphoria, you know, so it’s not like our first rodeo or anything,” she added. Delving further into her family’s reactions, Zendaya said, “It was funny ’cause, you know, obviously I’ve seen the movie many times so I know what’s coming, and they were all sitting behind me, and I got to, like, watch them watch and slowly just be like, ‘Oh god.'

The film's sexy scenes have been a major topic during the "Challengers" press tour. Addressing the attention it's getting, Zendaya told Jake Hamilton in an interview that it’s ‘very odd.’ “Do you feel like, as a society, people have forgotten that an actor kissing another actor is literally a part of your job? Or are they using it as an excuse to get you to talk about kissing?” Hamilton asked.
“I have no idea. I don’t know if it’s because they want it to be, like, a viral thing, I don’t know. But I have noticed that, with me specifically. I feel like other actors don’t… if it was somebody else here, you probably wouldn’t [have] asked that question. But yeah, it is a part of my job and it is a completely normal part of the job despite, I think, maybe other people’s perception of our job. But yeah, it is odd,” Zendaya concluded.
Challengers is set to release on April 26.
