Zendaya has shared a hilarious video of her trapeze fail with co-star Zac Efron on Jimmy Fallon.
Zendaya was on the chat show to talk about her new movie, The Greatest Showman.
The 20-year-old plays acrobat Anne Wheeler in the musical flick, while Zac plays her on screen love interest, stage actor Phillip Carlyle.
On the show, Zendaya told the audience about her training regime before the production.
“It was a lot of training. It was a lot of literally getting up there and just going for it,” the actress recalled.
“I had been rehearsing on this specific rig that I was used to. I had become normal with that height difference, and there was a net. I felt good and comfortable, and I had been doing it for a while. I was like, ‘OK, cool. I’m a trapeze artist! This is great!'”
However, things were much different on set when it came to filming the trapeze scenes – and things didn’t always go to plan.
“The rig was 15 to 20 feet taller and there was no net, because back in the day, they didn’t have those yet. I was hooked up, so I’m safe, but visually – that’s a lot to get over.”
The Disney star revealed that in one particular practice, she full on body slammed into Zac.
“He was such a great partner,” she continued, “he had to hold my weight and I had to hold him”.
“But…if you don’t catch each other, [you’ll collide]” she laughed.
Jimmy knew exactly what she was laughing about and decided to share a sneak peek of one of the rehearsals where the trapeze stunt goes horribly wrong. Check it out below!
