Why Spider-Man: Homecoming Star Zendaya Never Went as Spidey for Halloween

 

As a kid, Zendaya couldn't get away from Spider-Man.

"I feel like you just grow up with Spider-Man as a superhero," the singer-actress tells Made in Hollywood reporter Kylie Erica Mar. "He's just always there."

Now the Disney star shares the screen with the swinging crime fighter in Tom Holland taking over the title role in the franchise as an awkward 15-year-old high schooler still figuring out his powers — and himself.

As much as Spider-Man played a part in her life, Zendaya says she never went as the character for Halloween -- for very practical reasons.

"I did this thing in school when if I wanted to dress up as something, I would do something that was realistic so I could keep the clothes for later," she says.

Her costar Jacob Batalon also went another direction for Halloween: "I was definitely a ninja."
