As a die-hard fan who has followed Zendaya‘s career from her Disney Channel days to her current A-list status, I must say that seeing her casually strolling down the streets of Boston with her mom was nothing short of a delightful surprise. It feels like we fans are so used to seeing her on our screens in epic movies or captivating TV shows that it’s refreshing to see her in a more casual, everyday setting.
It seems like Zendaya is popping up everywhere these days, with good reason! Not only does she have two big films, “Dune: Part Two” and “Challengers”, scheduled for 2024, but she’s also coming back for Season 3 of HBO’s “Euphoria” in 2025. So, it’s no wonder the public is accustomed to seeing her on their screens. But what really got everyone talking was when this high-profile actress and her mom made an unexpected appearance on a local news broadcast – and social media couldn’t stop discussing it!
People who tune in to local news are likely familiar with the practice of using general background footage, or b-roll, in news reports. A recent example of this was seen on WCVB Channel 5 in Boston. However, it’s intriguing to consider if the cameraman recording at the time knew he captured a fleeting glimpse of actress Zendaya (Spider-Man’s co-star) and her mother, Claire Stoermer. The pair were simply strolling and conversing when they were filmed, and their moment was subsequently shared on social media platforms. Here’s an entertaining TikTok video showing fans reacting to the clip:

It’s the part in the video earlier that really strikes me – a few fans spotted the actor from ‘Malcom & Marie’ walking down the street, and their reactions were priceless! What makes it even better is the comments below the video. Some viewers discussed the fans while pondering whether the station knew they were filming the star. Here are some of those comments for your enjoyment:

More on Zendaya
Following Tom Holland’s viral video defense of Zendaya from paparazzi, he confessed the reason behind his occasional online searches about her.
Though the casual interaction between mother and daughter might appear surprising initially, it’s not hard to imagine them spending time together in such a manner, given their close bond. Zendaya’s mother has been frequently praised by her daughter as a loving and nurturing figure, and this is evident in their relationship. Moreover, Claire Stoermer played a significant role in Zendaya’s success, even working two jobs to ensure financial stability during her daughter’s rise to fame. Despite being supportive of her daughter’s career, Stoermer does not shy away from offering candid feedback – as evidenced by her comment on one of her daughter’s outfits that exposed too much skin.
At the recent Gotham Awards, the star of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” had her mother by her side. This actress received the Spotlight Tribute Award, and during her heartfelt acceptance speech, she thanked her mother for her unwavering support. This touching moment was later shared on X. It’s truly heartwarming to witness such a strong bond between a mom and daughter.
It’s quite rare for a news station to film a famous person along with their family member, similar to finding a needle in a haystack. But Boston’s WCVB has successfully grabbed some B-roll footage of the actress from “The Greatest Showman” and her mom. Whether it was planned or not, the local news station can take pride in capturing the video and creating a humorous, viral moment.
In 2024, you’ll find that both of Zendaya’s movies are now available to stream. You can catch “Dune: Part Two” by subscribing to Max, whereas “Challengers” is accessible through Prime Video.
