Zendaya has reached massive heights of success in Hollywood in the past few years. The actress is widely lauded for her acting skills that landed her some of the most iconic roles in top franchises during her career. But Zendaya believes she didn’t do it all alone.
Being her humble self, Zendaya has given credit to her older sister Katianna Stoermer Coleman aka Kizzi for her success and her net worth of $22 million. Here’s what she said.
Katianna Stoermer Coleman Is Zendaya’s True Inspiration
Zendaya has many famous projects like ‘Euphoria‘, ‘Spiderman’ and ‘Dune’ under her name and that proves she’s not only a talented actress but also a hardworking one. However, she credits someone else for her success too — her sister Katianna aka Kizzi. The two are not real sisters but are very close.
While talking to Time during a recent interview, the ‘Challengers’ actress said, “I look up to my big sister and realize the influence she’s had on me and making me a better person“.
Moreover, the actress also thanked her parents and “big, grounded family” for her success. She added, “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized my true models are my parents. My mom is like a sheroe. My dad is so strong. […] Having such a big, grounded family, I realized as you get older how important that is”.

Zendaya Has Always Looked Up To Michael Jackson
During the same interview, Zendaya said Michael Jackson was also a major source of inspiration for her. She said she holds immense respect for him and grew up watching him.
“I’ve always looked up to people like Michael Jackson and Beyoncé. I’ve loved Michael Jackson since the minute I was born. He’s probably the most talented person ever. He was able to create such an amazing career and be probably the biggest star we’ve ever had,” the ‘Spiderman‘ actress confessed.
She confessed she has always been in awe of Jackson’s artistic skills and how he made people connect through his music. “But also, never did he cuss in his songs. He always had a positive way of doing what he did. He had such a love for the art of music and tried to make people feel better through that,” she said.
