She also has a very unique way of eating it.

There’s no question that Zendaya is one of the most influential actors of her generation. I mean, she’s got the range! She went from starring in Disney channel movies and sitcoms to playing MJ in the Spider-Man movies alongside her real-life romantic partner, Tom Holland. Her roles in movies like The Greatest Showman, Dune and Challengers are as varied as they are entertaining.
And of course, she is a notorious fashion icon who slays every red carpet appearance. Honestly, I don’t know what I’m looking forward to more about her upcoming film, The Drama: the movie or her press-tour fashion. Regardless, I will absolutely be going to see her star alongside Robert Pattinson in this black comedy, which hits theaters on April 3.
But when she’s not wearing the coolest archival looks I’ve ever seen or acting in my favorite movies, she’s most likely eating this sweet treat.
What is Zendaya’s favorite dessert?
It’s ice cream. Of course, it’s not just any ice cream; it’s Haagen-Dazs coffee ice cream! She has been seen eating the flavor and talking about it for years. One fan account on Instagram even pulled together a post with all the times she has shown Haagen-Dazs the love.
But there’s something else we need to address, and that is the particular way in which she actually eats the ice cream. No, this is not about utensils or serving dishes—it’s literally how she eats it. Zendaya eats ice cream with her teeth. She just bites into it.
In this TikTok, she explains why. “I know it sounds weird because most people have sensitivity in their teeth, but I don’t,” she says. Then she takes a big bite out of a scoop of ice cream on a cone. “I don’t feel it. It doesn’t hurt.”
I guess if I also had that “special talent” I would eat a lot more ice cream. Though who are we kidding, I haven’t let it stop me. I love ice cream and eat it almost every night. I guess that’s just one of the ways Zendaya and I are similar!
