Louth TikToker interviews Zendaya ahead of Challengers Irish cinema release


Zendaya, who plays Tashi, chatted to Louth TikTok creator, Meg Hughes about her role in the movie
New to Irish cinemas, Challengers, has had only one social media reaction with users labelling it "the movie of the year."
Tashi, a tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion.
To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event close to the lowest level of tournament on the pro tour.
Zendaya, who plays Tashi, chatted to Louth TikTok creator, Meg Hughes about her role in the movie and also her transition to producing the movie.
The 24-year-old, Dundalk TikTok star asked Zendaya: "“I see so much of you in this film, not just as an actor but as a producer too. Is working as both an actor and producer something you want to continue and develop? Could we possibly see, Directed by Zendaya on our screens one day?”
Zendaya said: "The more I watch people do this work, the more you are inspired to do it. You think this is amazing and I love the creation, the process, they are having fun over there. The more that I learn, the more I am terrified because you think you can't do it, it is magic. It is a bit of both, one day if I get over the fear, which takes time, then maybe I will be able to step into those directing shoes one day."
Commenting on the actresses answer after the interaction, Meg said: "She gave the most lovely answer."
The social media star was on a branded trip with Warner Bros, who brought a number of influencers over to London to promote the movie.
Many fans have commented on the lovely interaction, one user said: "You are so cool calm and collected."
Another user said: "How wonderful for you! And such an interesting question as well. You’re on your way, Meggg, doing what you love!"
