Zendaya became one of the Gen Z celebrities not only because of her talent and beauty, but also because of her beautiful actions towards everyone around her. "Zendaya seems like a humble and good person."
—u/riversrunningdeep"I met Zendaya at Disneyland when she was first starting out. I was 21 years old at the time, but I still knew who she was because
Disney was always on in my house, and I thought it'd be cool to get a picture with her. Understandably, her security was pushing her through and trying to keep the fans away — Zendaya stopped her security and said, 'Look, nobody standing here would have a job right now if it wasn't for people like them watching the show and supporting me. I'd really like it if you'd let me have a few minutes with my fans to thank them. It's the least I can do.'
It was really surprising (she was only 13 or 14 at the time, I think) and she took pictures with all of the fans who asked (including my group) — she even complimented my boots and hair. She was overall really gracious and nice, especially for a young teen who suddenly became 'famous' in the public eye."

"A theater tech friend of mine toured with him and Sir Patrick Stewart on Waiting for Godot. Usually the 'talent' doesn't really mingle with the lowly backstage technicians, but my friend was a real favorite on the crew. Everyone knew he was a comic book nerd, so on his birthday, they brought out a Wolverine birthday cake and all sang 'Happy Birthday.' Then Sir Ian and Sir Patrick performed a scene as Magneto and Professor X for him and made his year." —

They made eye contact, and the OP visibly had an expression that he recognized him, but he didn't go up to him and bug him, just went to his table with his girlfriend. After Hugh finished his meal, he went over to them, thanked them for their discretion, and spent a few minutes shooting the shit with them. That anecdote stuck with me!" —

He was just overall really respectful and treated us all like actual people. Best experience with a celebrity at a con I've had in a long time." —

Everyone was not in the best mood, and then I saw Danny sitting there with a huge smile on his face. I asked him, 'And why are you so happy?' He replied, 'I have friends who have to wake up in an hour to mix cement all day, and I get to make movies with you guys.' It was the morale boost we needed." —
