Gregg Araki dwells on the role of Zendaya in HBO’s gem Euphoria while suggesting more powerful characters for this talented woman.

&#8220;She should be&#8230;”- Gregg Araki Takes a Shot at &#8216;Euphoria’s Treatment of Zendaya Suggest Alternate Projects for the Spider-Man Star

Zendaya is undeniably one of the most deserving celebrities in Hollywood. The
actress has been making history with her role as Rue Bennett on HBO’s smash-hit
Euphoria. Her performance as a troubled teen is so brilliant and powerful that
she has hooked millions of viewers with this show. More than four years have
passed since fans started watching her steering this character through her
erratic and emotional hairpin. And it wouldn’t be too much to say that her
empathy for her struggles has made viewers around the globe addicted to her
role.

Picking this depiction of a teenage girl in the teen drama, Gregg Araki recently
got candid about her portrayal. It looks like the famed filmmaker has quite a
different view of her role than others.


GREGG ARAKI BELIEVES ZENDAYA NEEDS TO EXPLORE POWERFUL ROLES 

Araki recently sat down with Metrograph’s Thora Siemsen for an interesting Q&A
session
[https://metrograph.com/gregg-araki/#:~:text=Off%20the%20top,mopeds%20over%20bridges]
that gives fans insight into his life and opinions about things. One of the
questions asked him about the actor he would like to work with that he never did
before. To this, he was quick to respond that Zendaya is on his top list.

He gushed over the 26-year-old who became the youngest woman to win an Emmy
twice at her age. The Nowhere director stated that she is a package of all the
beautiful qualities that an actress should have. Indeed, she is cool and stylish
considering her boyfriend, Tom Holland, couldn’t get enough of her dreamy looks

Moving forward, he expressed his desire to see her in a movie where she is
sporting some dazzling looks. Since the 63-year-old does not like roaming around
in baggy sweatshirts with no makeup as Zendaya did in Euphoria. According to
him, she is fit for more spectacular roles where she can glow and should do a
‘fabulous movie.’ “She should be doing kung-fu, jumping off mopeds over
bridges,” he added.

Well, most of the fans would agree with Araki on this the way she steals the
thunder on red carpets just like she did at the SAG Awards.


THE SPIDER-MAN ACTRESS BROUGHT HER BARBIE VIBE TO THE SAG AWARDS 

In February, Zendaya stepped out to attend the Screen Actors Guild Awards in her
pretty pink ensemble. The actress rocked the red carpet solo donning a bubblegum
pink strapless mermaid gown by Valentino. With her bob haircut and cute smile,
she gave us major princess vibes flashing bold BVLGARI jewels.

Later, she swapped her dreamy gown with another electric outfit of the same
color when she took the stage to present an award. This look featured a cutout,
a color-blocked geometric bodice, and a silky pink train.
