'Euphoria' to 'The Odyssey': Zendaya on juggling multiple projects
What's the story
Hollywood actor Zendaya is having a busy year with the release of four films and the third season of her hit show Euphoria. In an interview with Elle, she recalled the challenges of juggling multiple productions, including Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three, and HBO's Euphoria. "I remember being on set for Euphoria; it was a night shoot at a ranch...and I was so tired," she said.

Zendaya was learning lines for 'Dune' during 'Euphoria' shoot
Zendaya added, "But I was also learning my Chakobsa lines for Dune." "And then I started writing out my lines to memorize for that quick turnaround trip I was going to make to Iceland [for The Odyssey]." "It's not like I have a lot of lines in The Odyssey, but I was working with Christopher Nolan!" "The most embarrassing thing in life would be messing up my lines, which did happen once."
