Zendaya added she felt stagnant after she gained super success through Disney shows such as Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover. "When I finished my Disney show, I had been working since I was 13. I had never not had a job, but then, all of a sudden, it stopped and I was like, ‘I don't know what I am going to do," she said.

"I felt very stagnant because I'd been doing the same thing for so long. But I knew I could do more and I knew there was a lot that people didn't know about me. Nothing really connected until I got Euphoria, which I landed the month before I was supposed to do Spider-Man," the actress recalled.
