Zendaya Introduced a Trans Fan to Hunter Schafer & We're Emotional
The power of representation!
Euphoria stars Zendaya and Hunter Schafer made a transgender girl's dreams come true with a simple FaceTime call.
In a newly viral tweet, it looks like a fan walked up to Zendaya at a restaurant somewhere and explained to her how inspired she was by Schafer on the HBO series. Zendaya gave the fan a way to tell Hunter exactly how much she meant directly.
"Zendaya facetimed Hunter because the girl is trans and said Hunter was an inspiration to her through Euphoria and Zendaya wanted to connect the 2 of them so she could tell hunter herself," reads the tweet. The video currently has over 846,000 views.
Schafer made her groundbreaking acting debut in gritty teen drama Euphoria earlier this year, where her character Jules has a beautifully tender, queer coming-of-age story. She has quickly become one of the biggest LGBTQ+ stars of the year.
"I'm so happy you called, I'm so happy to meet you," Schafer says over the call. Zendaya then offered to take a picture of the teary-eyed fan with Hunter on her phone screen. They ended the interaction with a hug and Zendaya saying "You have all of our love."
"MY HEART," exclaimed the original tweet. "That is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen," said one comment. "Zendaya is so powerful I can’t," reads another.
