Zendaya, the 24-year-old reigning Emmy winner for her lead performance in “Euphoria,” didn’t just dip her toe in producing last year; she jumped in fully — during a pandemic — and got behind (and in front of) Sam Levinson’s “Malcolm & Marie.”
“The overarching theme, or the biggest word I could use to describe my feelings, recently more than ever, is ‘gratitude,’” she says by video call.
“Like, waking up and being grateful for my job, for the people that I get to work with, for my family, for my friends. So, if there’s anything [‘Malcolm & Marie’] is about, it’s about what happens when you fail to acknowledge or appreciate the people that make life worth living and that make it possible for us to do what we do.”
