Zendaya, Drama TV Star award-winning actress in "Euphoria" surprised a trans fan of the show last Friday, introducing her to co-star Hunter Schafer. The fan reached out to Zendaya as a fan and someone who was deeply inspired by Schafer.
A video surfaced on Twitter Friday of Zendaya meeting with the fan and then FaceTiming with Schafer (who plays Jules on the show) to introduce the two and pose together for a photo.
"In the video the fan can be heard saying she has 'to be dreaming' and that 'someone has to wake me up this can't be real,'" "I" m="" happy="" to="" meet="" you,"="" Schafer="" responded.="" Zendaya="" then="" took="" a="" photo="" of="" the="" fan="" posing="" with="" Schafer="" on="" the="" phone.=""
"So zendaya facetimed hunter because the girl is trans and said hunter was an inspiration to her through euphoria and zendaya wanted to connect the 2 of them so she could tell hunter herself???? MY HEART," the Twitter user wrote.
The viral video comes shortly after Zendaya "dedicated her win at the People's Choice Awards, an award show where fans pick the winner, to 'anyone who has felt seen by our show, on behalf of the cast and crew and everyone, that's all we really ever wanted. So thank you for allowing us to do that,'" according to Teen Vogue.
"Euphoria" has been picked up for a second season, and will premier on HBO as before.
