Zendaya said young people do not need to wait for adulthood to live their dreams, calling age just a number. The 'Spider-Man' star made the remark in an early interview with Jones Magazine, when she was 15 and starring in the Disney show 'Shake It Up.' The Times of India reports she was then juggling acting, music and appearances on 'Dancing with the Stars.' The quote appears in a new Instagram post sharing her words. Zendaya, born in Oakland, California, in 1996, started acting at age six in a Black History Month play. She attended the Oakland School for the Arts, joined a hip hop group, and moved to Los Angeles in seventh grade. Her breakthrough film role came in 2017 as MJ in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming.' Celebrity Net Worth estimates her wealth at USD 40 million.
