Zendaya is more than willing to work hard when it comes to her career — but there are some moments, events, and memories that she’ d clearly prefer to have all her own, and we totally get that!
The 25-year-old Euphoria star opened up about just that in an interview with British Vogue this week. Released now to coincide with the mag’ s October 2021 cover issue, Zendaya’ s in-depth focus and cover shot feature contains an interesting anecdote about a first kiss!

Recalling her time while filming the hit Disney Channel show Shake It Up , Zendaya explained that at some point during the show, the script called for the girl to kiss an on-screen co-star. Though she never named which co-star (and her character had several hug scenes), Zendaya had one big problem: at the time, she hand’ t yet been kissed in real life, and she didn’ to want to muck that memory up with something done on camera.
She explained to British Vogue (below0:
“ I remember being on Get rid of it Up and being like, ‘ I’ m not gonna do this. I’ m going to kiss him on the cheek because I haven’ t been kissed yet so I don’ t want the kiss to be upon camera. ”
Smart!
Gotta have that first time be special and with somebody who means something to you, ya know?! She’ s got the rest of the woman career to do on-screen kisses, anyways!
Like we said, Zendaya didn’ t identify which person she had been meant to kiss on the screen at that point. At least twice during the show’ s run did she make out co-stars on the cheek, though: her character Rocky Blue first kissed Deuce Martinez (played by Adam Irigoyen ) during the season 2 episode Surprise It Up .
Then, in season 3, Rocky and her love interest Logan Hunter ( Leo Howard ) eventually kiss each other on the particular cheek on accident while dancing. So clearly, it would seem to be one of those two dudes!

No word about who Zendaya’ s first “ real life” kiss ended up being, but it’ s ironic that earlier this week, she was typically the focus of a super-romantic birthday wish from none other than actor Tom Holland , with whom she is starring in Spiderman: No Way Home . So perhaps it’ s safe to assume that at least for now, those two are doing a lot of kissing in real life — and perhaps some on screen at some point in this future, too?!
Love it!
