Zendaya Understands the Malcolm & Marie Age Gap Backlash Bianca Betancourt
Zendaya understands the backlash aimed at her casting as John David Washington s love interest in their upcoming Netflix film,
Malcolm & Marie >P. But it s time for the world to, respectfully, get over it.
In a new interview with >P, the actress addressed the drama regarding the age gap between her and Washington, explaining that because she was a Disney child star, she understands why some may struggle to watch her in more mature roles. For context, Zendaya is 24 years old, and Washington is 36. I ve played a 16-year-old since I was 16. You have to remember, also, people grew up with me as a child, the actress said. It s like watching, I guess, your younger sibling now, you know, they re grown. … So it s hard for people to wrap around the idea that I am grown in real life. You know, even though I do play a teenager on television still.
