Zendaya Doesn’t Watch ‘DWTS,’ Cites ‘Stressful Experience’
After Dancing With The Stars comes to a close, contestants return to their normal lives. Some take away fond memories, while others feel a little less satisfied with their time on the show. Actress Zendaya recently admitted she had very stressful experiences while competing.
Zendaya Isn’t Interested In Watching Dancing With The Stars
DWTS Season 16 took place in the spring of 2013. At the time, 16-year-old Zendaya was best known for her roles on Disney Channel. She accepted the invitation to join the dance competition, but it wasn’t quite what she expected.
Although she and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed exceptionally well, Zendaya says it was incredibly stressful. To this day, she does not watch the show.
“I have not watched Dancing With The Stars since I was on,” the actress shared with Entertainment Weekly. “I didn’t really watch Dancing With The Stars before I was on Dancing With The Stars. I don’t think I was the target demographic. My grandma loves Dancing With The Stars, that’s her bag. But yeah, I also think it was a very stressful experience. I was like, I don’t think I’m gonna be watching this anymore.”
Zendaya and Val ultimately finished in second place behind Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler.
Pro Dancer Val Chmerkovskiy Feels Proud Of The Actress
Val Chmerkovskiy has a reputation for being a harsh teacher, but he really gets results. He’s the reigning DWTS champion and has been in the finale multiple times.
While he was Zendaya’s partner, he saw a bright future ahead of her.
