'Spider-Man' Star Zendaya Admits She Goes To Therapy: 'It's A Beautiful Thing'
Zendaya has opened up about undergoing therapy and discussed the importance of caring for one's mental health.
The 25-year-old actress admitted she goes to therapy and said she recommends it to people who "possess the financial means to go to therapy" in an interview with British Vogue released Monday.
"I think it's a beautiful thing," she said.
"You know, there's nothing wrong with working on yourself and dealing with those things with someone who can help you, someone who can talk to you, who's not your mom or whatever," Zendaya added. "Who has no bias."
The "Spider-Man: Homecoming" star revealed that it was the COVID-19 pandemic that drained her positive energy and she wanted to find a solution to the sadness.
"First kind of taste of sadness where you wake up and you just feel bad all day, like what the f--k is going on?" she explained. "What is this dark cloud that's hovering over me and I don't know how to get rid of it, you know?"
Zendaya's attitude toward money and how her parents, Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, have influenced her spending habits were also brought up in the interview.
"My mother's a saver and so I try to keep that in mind," she shared. "Then my dad's like, 'You know, you can't spend it when you're dead,' kind of thing. I'm somewhere in-between."
Zendaya further noted that she is hopeful to have a career she can be stable enough financially to keep doing the things she enjoys the most without having to worry about anything else.
"But I'm always like, 'I will always need to work.' Because if I don't work then everything can be gone tomorrow," she further added.
The actress spoke about portraying a drug addict in the teen drama "Euphoria" as well. According to her, she is the "most sober person you could ask to play this part."
"I can only understand it to an extent," the actress explained.
On the work front, Zendaya lent her voice to "Space Jam: A New Legacy," which was released on July 16. She will also be seen in "Dune," which is slated for release next month.
Meanwhile, Marvel's highly anticipated movie, "Spider-Man: No Way Home," in which she stars alongside Tom Holland, is currently under post-production. It is scheduled to be released in the United States on Dec. 7.
