Alex Bancila (24 years old), Romanian tennis player born in the United States of America, has an appearance in the movie Challengers, in which the main character is played by the famous actress Zendaya (27 years old).

The athlete told how Zendaya laughed at his uneven tan on set, but also how he ended up starring in the film.

“I ended up on the set of the movie because a very good friend of mine, Chris Heck, was Josh O’Connor’s double on ‘Challengers’ and he was there on set for a few months. He wrote to me and said that the director, Luca Guadagnino, needed a character, preferably a tennis player, to destroy a racket in the film.

I saw Zendaya a lot. She already knew Chris, my friend, and he introduced me. She was very nice. We had the caravans next to each other. Of course, hers is bigger than mine (no laughs).

Very polite, normal. It was also funny how he started talking to me. He saw that I was tanned on my ankles and arms, like a tennis player. And we both laughed because I have an uneven tan.

I’m honestly not a Zendaya superfan. But she was very cool. I had seen her in Spiderman and being able to see her face to face and talk to her was really cool“, said Alex Băncilă, quoted by Iamsport.

She gave up professional sports and became “the most beautiful actress in Hollywood”

Another famous actress, Sydney Sweeney, who stars in the same series, “Euphoria”, with Zendaya, he practicedbefore fully dedicating himself to acting, a contact sport, MMA, and even participated and won competitions.

“When I was 18 I entered a competition where everyone was in a higher age category, but I finished first“, said Sydney Sweeney, called by the Daily Caller “”the most beautiful actress in Hollywood”.
