    Zendaya was "always" destined for stardom

    The 28-year-old actress has enjoyed huge success in recent years, and Trinitee Stokes - who previously appeared alongside Zendaya in the Disney series 'K.C. Undercover' - isn't at all surprised by what she's managed to achieve


    Trinitee explained to PEOPLE: "She was always so driven, and she always had such bright ideas and such great perspective on the entertainment industry.

    "We're all very proud and excited to see her flourishing like she is."

    Zendaya starred on the TV show between 2015 and 2018, and Trinitee has praised the versatility of her former co-star.

    The actress said: "She's one of those people that is able to do comedy. She's able to do drama. I think they had a couple episodes where she was dancing, and then she sings."

    Despite her success, Zendaya recently confessed to being a "very self-conscious person".

    The actress admitted to being "very self-critical" in her day-to-day life - but Zendaya feels she can always be "super free" on a film or TV set.

    She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm a very self-conscious person. Everything I do, I'm very self-critical. And I find that being on a set is one of the few places that I don't judge myself.

    "I can just be super free. Because I'm like, 'Wait, it's not me.' So I don't mind watching myself. I don't actually ever get weird about it until I go, 'Oh, people are going to see this.'

    "Once it's time to promote something, I'm like, 'Oh, now I'm self-conscious about the work that I just made.' But up until this point, I was just in my little bubble of creative freedom. It's not until you realise, 'This won't belong to just me forever,' that my head starts going."
