Zendaya can sing, dance and act, and after doing many of her own stunts for The Greatest Showman, she has some trapeze skills under her belt, too. In her portrayal of Anne Wheeler, an acrobat and trapeze artist, Zendaya soars through the air using various ropes and bars in several of the film's musical numbers.
Did Zendaya learn trapeze?
From the movie's inception, it was director Michael Gracey's intention to not use stunt doubles so that meant rigorous training for Zendaya and Zefron. The stunts performed on the trapeze require tremendous upper body strength, flexibility, and of course, nerves of steel.
Did Zendaya and Zac Efron actually do the trapeze?
It turns out that Zac Efron and Zendaya did actually do their impressive aerial stunt together in "The Greatest Showman." Speaking with MTV News, the actors revealed that the scene may have looked pretty, but the filming of it was far from easy (or elegant).
