News. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>Over a year after Zendaya and her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland confirmed their engagement, the &#8216;Euphoria&#8217; actress recently opened up about grappling with life in the public eye and maintaining boundaries despite being a public figure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Speaking during a conversation with her &#8216;The Drama&#8217; co-star Robert Pattinson for Interview magazine, Zendaya reflected on keeping certain aspects of her life private.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Zendaya Sets GF Goals As She Supports Tom Holland In His New Venture | Watch<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;At the end of the day, you&#8217;re a public figure, there&#8217;s nothing you can do,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;but some things are meant for yourself and for your loved ones,&#8221; according to E! News. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The 29-year-old actress admitted that her public persona can sometimes be at odds with the characters she portrays on screen.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>&#8220;I do try to have privacy, not just for characters, but for me in real life,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I try to be honest to who I am when I am in public, but I also try to keep things for myself.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>This is not the first time Zendaya has addressed the realities of fame. In a 2023 interview with Elle, she said that while certain aspects of her life would inevitably be public, she still controls what she chooses to reveal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>&#8220;Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public,&#8221; she had said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Zendaya emphasised that her approach is not about secrecy but about safeguarding personal peace. &#8220;It&#8217;s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist,&#8221; she noted, according to E! News. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The couple&#8217;s relationship first came under intense public scrutiny in 2021 when paparazzi photographs led them to confirm their romance.
