Zendaya wowed in as a winged goddess for the NYC premiere of \u201cThe Odyssey.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cExtra\u2019s\u201d Tommy DiDario spoke with Zendaya, who shared that the look was her and stylist Law Roach\u2019s interpretation of the goddess Athena’s owl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since she’s playing the goddess of wisdom, she reflected on being an old soul herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI think it\u2019s just growing up very early and in a very mature environment. You know, when you\u2019re a kid on a set\u2026 most people you spend the time with are adults. You grow up very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent a lot of time with my grandmother when I was little, so maybe that has something to do with it, too,\u201d Zendaya noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also spoke about being \u201cvery grateful\u201d to have had husband Tom Holland there on her first day filming the Christopher Nolan epic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She commented, \u201cSome locations he wasn\u2019t at, but he was on my first day, which I was very grateful for because as you can imagine, something like this is quite a daunting task. It\u2019s the scale, the scope, it\u2019s absolutely extraordinary. Walking onto a Chris Nolan set for the first time is no small feat, so I was happy to have some support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tommy also spoke to Tom, who raved that Zendaya \u201cnailed it\u201d in the film. Calling her \u201cfantastic,\u201d he said, \u201cShe had a really tough job. I think when you see the movie and you see what she has to do, it’s really difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n
