Zendaya on interracial relationship with Zac Efron in new film: 'I think that this is a beautiful message'

Twenty-one-year-old Zendaya is wise beyond her years. The young actress has continually been speaking what’s on her mind and inspiring others to live their best lives.

Zendaya stopped by the Today show to promote her upcoming film, The Greatest Showman. When asked about her character’s onscreen relationship with Zac Efron, Zendaya said that some of the issues their characters faced as an interracial couple are still relevant today. “We still live in a time when people still try to tell people who they’re allowed to love, and I think that this is a beautiful message about letting your heart speak.”

But this isn’t the first time Zendaya has been inspirational with her words — she gracefully continues to speak out against many injustices, and does it all with class.
