Los Angeles, April 10 Amy Pascal, who served as a producer for ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, admitted that neither she nor Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige knew who Zendaya was when she auditioned for the character of MJ.

“She was wearing no make-up, and she was just dressed like a regular girl, and we were like, ‘Oh my God, she’s amazing. She has to be in the movie',” Pascal told Vogue, reports deadline.com.

Pascal added: “And then we found out she was a totally famous person and felt really stupid.”

Zendaya stepped into acting at a young age in the Disney Channel show 'Shake It Up'.

In an interview with Vogue, Zendaya reflected on her childhood as an adult.

“I don’t know how much of a choice I had,” she told the magazine.

“I have complicated feelings about kids and fame and being in the public eye, or being a child actor.”

Zendaya added: “We’ve seen a lot of cases of it being detrimental. I think only now, as an adult, am I starting to go, Oh, okay, wait a minute - I’ve only ever done what I’ve known, and this is all I’ve known.”
