Zendaya reveals how her parents felt watching her three-way scene in blockbuster film

Zendaya has revealed her parents’ ‘hilarious’ reaction during her much-talked-about three-way scene in one of this year’s biggest movies.

With Hollywood having had a load of delays last year due to the writer’s strike, this year has seen the release of some pretty massive films.

From Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 to Deadpool & Wolverine and Dune: Part Two, there’s been plenty of things to splash out on a cinema ticket for. And earlier this year, we finally had the release of Challengers which of course stars Zendaya as the lead.

And that had people getting excited for plenty of reasons, with the trailer teasing a steamy three-way scene. You know exactly the one I’m on about, when two young tennis players (played by Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor) both desperately seek out Tashi Duncan’s (Zendaya) attention.

Jimmy Kimmel Live for film promo in April, the 28-year-old said she ‘absolutely’ warned her big family ahead of them attending the movie’s premiere.

And that had people getting excited for plenty of reasons, with the trailer teasing a steamy three-way scene. You know exactly the one I’m on about, when two young tennis players (played by Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor) both desperately seek out Tashi Duncan’s (Zendaya) attention.

The three-way scene – which Zendaya says she ‘loved’ filming – happens pretty early on while the characters are teens, but it left many fans wondering just how the Spider-Man star’s parents would react.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live for film promo in April, the 28-year-old said she ‘absolutely’ warned her big family ahead of them attending the movie’s premiere.

“Well they know it’s a Rated-R movie so I was like you, know walking into this, ‘if you can’t handle the heat get out the kitchen’,” Zendaya said.

“But I forewarned them. It was honestly my favourite part of the night. Cause I’ve seen the movie, many times.”

She added: “I know when the scenes are coming, so basically when those scenes were happening I just was watching my family because they were behind me, so I just watched them the whole time – it was hilarious.”

Zendaya enjoyed watching as they visibly got ‘slowly more uncomfortable’ watching it play out.
