Actress Zendaya has unfollowed everyone she’d been following on Instagram, including boyfriend Tom Holland.
“Challengers April 26th,” she wrote in the caption. “Wishing you all the most beautiful new year✨.” The 27 year old actress actress didn’t provide an explanation for the purge. Her boyfriend Holland, on other hand, is currently follows 315 accounts, including his girlfriend’s.
Zendaya opened up about her social-media use in a chat with PEOPLE back in October 2021, saying she often goes quiet to give herself a mental break. “Being on [social media] would kind of make me anxious, or I would start to overthink a little too much,” the Emmy winner shared. “[My fans] want me to … be happy and exist beyond social media.”
For others dealing with similar feelings, Zendaya advises breaks. “Take the time that you need,” she said, “and don’t compare yourself to anyone else.” In her cover interview for Vogue Italy’s July 2022 issue, the actress said her fans are “really understanding that I’m human, even the hardcore ones, and they want me to be happy and I genuinely feel that from them,” adding, “They’re really respectful of my boundaries and the things that I choose to keep a little bit more private and keep for myself.”
The Euphoria star noted that while she’s still “able to maintain a little bit of anonymity,” it’s nothing compared to her “pretty normal life” of the past: “Recently, I’ve had more of a change happening in regards to reactions when I meet people or how people interact with me on a daily basis.”
On the work front, Zendaya’s latest venture ‘Challengers’ is an anticipation that builds around this sports drama. The upcoming movie promises to deliver a riveting narrative, intense competition, and a star-studded cast. The movie is set to release on April 26, 2024.
