Lifestyle changes and detoxes have become a New Year’s cliché, but what about a social media cleanse? Well, Zendaya just made a case for new resolution that includes tapping that “unfollow” button.
On Wednesday, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the actress tidied up her feed by unfollowing everyone (and we mean everyone). Even her boyfriend and Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland is missing from the list. The star and fashion It girl maintained all 184 million of her followers and kept her posts, her most recent being promotion for her upcoming tennis drama Challengers, premiering on Apr. 26.
Zendaya is also starring in Dune: Part 2 (alongside Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, and Austin Butler), which is slated to hit theaters on Mar. 1. Although the actress has yet to explain the reason behind the purge, the refresh could potentially have something to do with either of the aforementioned upcoming projects.
Her IG post from earlier this week featured a Challengers movie poster that resembled a detailed close-up drawing of Zendaya (who plays Tashi Donaldson) wearing purple sunglasses that reflect a tennis match. “Challengers April 26th,” she captioned the post. “Wishing you all the most beautiful new year✨.”
Despite being hush about her relationship on social media over the last couple of months, Zendaya and Holland were spotted packing on the PDA during a walk in London in October. Over the summer, Holland also gave fans a glimpse into their private relationship while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, though he stayed mum about the specifics.
“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible,” he said at the time. “We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”
Zendaya wouldn’t be the first celeb to do a total clean out of their social media for a role. Recall: Blake Lively’s iconic 2018 sweep for her hit movie A Simple Favor and her 2019 refresh to promote The Rhythm Section.
