Zendaya Says She Suffered A Heatstroke On ‘Dune’ Set After Avoiding Water: I had such a fear of peeing or sh*tting myself!

Zendaya recently opened up about how her fear of not being able to hold her bladder while filming Dune led to her suffering a heatstroke on set.

In a recent interview with W Magazine, the actress explained:

“It was very hot, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh, man, the bathrooms are so far away,’ because we had to hike to the locations. If you have to pee, you need at least 10 minutes to get out of the costumes. I was like, ‘D*mn, I don’t want to drink too much water.’”‘

She continued:

“I had such a fear of peeing myself or sh*tting myself, honestly, in the suit on set. One day, I didn’t drink enough and I had a heatstroke. I felt so barfy. I remember calling my mom on the bathroom floor, saying, ‘I feel terrible.’ She was like, ‘Did you drink water today?’ I said no. I thought I was being smart, but you can’t do that. So, lesson learned.”

Despite this, Zendaya says she was in peak physical condition thanks to her training for Challengers, where she plays a tennis star. She shared how the intense prep helped her handle the heavy costumes for Dune’s brutal desert shoot, and even gave her a surprisingly toned figure from all the sand walking!
