00:00I'm okay.
00:04Are you okay?
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best improvised moments and behind-the-scenes gaffes featuring Zendaya.
00:12If you don't catch each other...
00:16Yeah.
00:22Zendaya's on-screen journey started with Disney.
00:24Casey, I gotta tell you, I'm having a great time at this party.
00:28And it's all because of you.
00:29Well, that's what big sisters are for, you know.
00:32To teach and to lend a guiding hand.
00:36After landing her first television role as Rocky Blue in Shake It Up,
00:39she expanded her Disney legacy by portraying the title character in Casey Undercover from 2015 to 2018.
00:46In a memorable behind-the-scenes clip,
00:48that's so Raven star Raven Simone appeared in spy mode alongside Zendaya as they previewed a new episode.
00:54Hey, Disney Channel.
00:55Check this out.
00:56Check it out.
00:57This is cuteness right here.
00:59Dressed up as janitors,
01:00the actresses used comedic movements, expressions, and words that made crew members in the background laugh.
01:06We'd be laughing too if we were in that situation.
01:08This is ridiculous.
01:09No one in their right mind is gonna believe I'm a man.
01:12Not with all this curvaciousness-ness-ness.
01:15Clearly, Zendaya was having fun in style, which you love to see.
01:22With all the intense and emotionally charged moments throughout the teen drama series Euphoria,
01:26it's good that cast members were able to share some lighter moments on set.
01:30During the filming of season one,
01:31there was a funny blooper that suggested Zendaya had been in the gym lately.
01:40Supposed to forcefully push her castmate into the chair,
01:42she ended up using a little bit too much force.
01:45Hey, Zendaya did follow directions.
01:47Her reaction to the take not going quite as planned was priceless,
01:51and others on set seemed to get a kick out of it too.
01:57Saving Spider-Man.
01:58Spider-Man No Way Home.
02:06Reprising her role as MJ in the Spider-Man franchise,
02:09Zendaya had to do more than she signed up for while filming Spider-Man No Way Home.
02:13The title hero is the one who typically does the saving,
02:16but it went differently during one outtake.
02:22When Tom Holland swung onto a platform holding Zendaya,
02:25he ended up landing awkwardly and almost falling.
02:27Zendaya then helped pull him up while Holland did his best to stay in character.
02:38One thing's for sure,
02:39he wasn't anywhere near as high up as his character goes in the movie.
02:46This funny behind-the-scenes moment makes you consider
02:48just how many things could go wrong while making a film.
02:51Even things that are out of the film crew's control.
02:55There's so many!
03:00During the production of Spider-Man Far From Home,
03:02Zendaya was surprised by a flock of not just any fans.
03:06These were birds that by the look of it had heard of the famous actress.
03:13The camera zoomed in to capture footage of multiple birds on her forearms
03:17and another on her shoulder.
03:19Just look, they weren't interested in any of the other humans around.
03:22Only Zendaya.
03:23Smart animals indeed.
03:26I really like you too.
03:36Then he's like, also, you might want to start working out
03:38because you have trapeze rehearsals when you get here
03:41and I want to use the sun double as little as possible.
03:45The high-flying acrobatics performed by Zendaya's character Ann Wheeler
03:48shine bright in The Greatest Showman.
03:50Just ahead of the film's release,
03:52Zendaya went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
03:54to talk about what went into filming the epic trapeze scene with Zac Efron.
04:08First of all, props to her for going up there without a net.
04:11That's the kind of spirit that can make it seem truly possible to rewrite the stars.
04:14But, before becoming the magical scene in the movie
04:17that showcases Zendaya and Efron's great on-screen chemistry,
04:21there were some not-so-smooth collisions.
04:40After yet another poor decision by Rue,
04:42the cops find her and chase her during a season 2 episode of Euphoria.
04:51Where you headed?
04:55Home.
04:57Running and jumping in an attempt to escape,
04:59at one point she hides in a trash can.
05:01The scene is extremely intense,
05:03capturing both the stakes of Rue's escape
05:05and the emotional weight of her running from her problems.
05:08But there was one moment while filming the scene that was a lot less intense
05:12and it was a much different kind of problem.
05:22That was when Zendaya got stuck in a trash can.
05:24It was certainly one way to lighten the mood,
05:26albeit an unintentional one.
05:38In a dramatic and nearly catastrophic moment during Spider-Man No Way Home,
05:41Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man comes to MJ's rescue.
05:52Zendaya brilliantly captured her character's mental state
05:55given the circumstances
05:56by providing an authentic reaction of both shock and relief.
05:59After her character is saved by Garfield's Spider-Man,
06:02she asks him if he's okay too.
06:07For context, he had lost his love Gwen Stacy
06:09in similar circumstances in The Amazing Spider-Man 2,
06:12making the emotional weight of the scene immeasurable.
06:15While on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast,
06:18Garfield praised Zendaya while implying
06:20that she came up with her line in that memorable scene.
06:32Oh wow.
06:35The fight scene between Gia and Rue,
06:38that's a scene that I'm really proud of.
06:40Because it wasn't scripted,
06:42Sam just basically said go in there and fight.
06:45According to Euphoria actress Storm Reid,
06:48the fight between her character Gia and Zendaya's Rue
06:50in the third episode of season two
06:52involved a lot of creative freedom.
06:54In the scene, Gia questions her older sister's lifestyle
06:57and their argument quickly escalates
06:59as they pour out raw emotion.
07:05Zendaya and Reid's chemistry is on full display here,
07:08as are their acting chops.
07:10They nailed the scene with impressive authenticity,
07:13effectively capturing the heat of the moment.
07:15In an interview on Collider Ladies Night,
07:17Reid expressed admiration for Zendaya
07:19and discussed their fight scene,
07:21which was done without a script.
07:23I appreciate Euphoria for what it is
07:26and the emotions that it provokes in me.
07:28And, you know, I think a lot of that comes from working with Z
07:32who I look up to and admire and love so much.

07:55There are multiple ways that Spider-Man can prove who he is,
07:58but not with an ID as Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man jokes
08:01in Spider-Man No Way Home.
08:02Prove it.
08:03Prove what?
08:04That you're Peter Parker.
08:05I don't carry an ID with me.
08:07So how can he give MJ and Ned the proof they're looking for?
08:10Well, Zendaya came up with a rather unconventional method,
08:13throwing bread at him to see if he'd use his Spidey sense.
08:16And we're not just talking one throw either.
08:18Yes, crawl around.
08:19Why do I need to crawl around?
08:20Because this is not enough.
08:21This is plenty.
08:22No, it's not.
08:23Yes, it is.
08:24No, it's not.
08:25It is.
08:26How do I stick to the ceiling?
08:27Do it.
08:28This hilarious moment was a piece of improvisational awesomeness
08:29from the actress.
08:30Clearly, Zendaya was just having fun
08:32and decided to do something goofy on set.
08:34And it was too good not to make it into the movie.
08:39We good?
08:40We good?
08:41For now.
08:42What's your favorite Zendaya scene?
08:44Let us know in the comments.
08:45I don't carry an ID with me.
08:47You know, it kind of defeats the whole anonymous superhero thing.
08:53Why'd you do that?
08:54I was trying to see if you have the tingle thing.
08:55Do you agree with our picks?
