Zendaya Shares Hilarious Confession About Being Over-the-Top With Her Beloved Pup

If you’re a fan of actress Zendaya, you know that she’s absolutely obsessed with her adorable 10-year-old miniature schnauzer, Noon. In a February 2026 interview with Interview Magazine, alongside her The Drama co-star Robert Pattinson, Zendaya said that she’s a complete Hollywood stereotype when it comes to taking care of her furry friend, whom she shares with her fiancé Tom Holland. 

“I’d say quintessential Hollywood s–t is probably how I am with my dog. They get their fancy meals with the vitamin supplements. It sounds very ridiculous when I talk about it, but I love my child. That’s probably the most ridiculous Hollywood thing about me, how my dog be living,” said Zendaya during the Interview magazine interview. 

Zendaya shared that her dog has given her a sense of stability as she has been navigating celebrity during her December 2024 Variety’s Actors on Actors interview with Nicole Kidman. Zendaya explained that her furry friend is her “emotional support.”

She also told Vanity Fair in November 2024 that Noon is her “forever puppy,” who “makes [her] really happy.” 

“He brings a lot of joy to all the sets we’ve been on. It’s hard not to be obsessed with this face,” said Zendaya. 

Zendaya then joked that Noon is a little annoyed by how obsessed she is with him. According to Zendaya, that’s why Noon prefers the company of her mother, Claire Stoermer, Tom, and her personal assistant, Darnell Appling.

“He loves all three of them, more than he loves me. It’s fine … I think he knows that I love him too much. So he’s like, ‘You’re doing too much. You need to calm down.’ It’s being a mother. Thankless. Thankless job. Really,” quipped Zendaya

While speaking to Vanity Fair, Zendaya shared her dog’s other quirks. According to Zendaya, he is quite spoiled and has a sensitive stomach. In addition, the small pup “thinks he’s a guard dog,” which has caused some issues. 

“He tried to fight a German Shepherd once. A few times. And I said, ‘Son, let’s be realistic here, girl,’” joked Zendaya.
