When working with legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan, even pros like Zendaya get nervous.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview for the Happy Sad Confused<\/em> podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked the Emmy winner for more context on what led to her messing up her lines on the first day of filming for The Odyssey<\/em>, as that didn\u2019t sound like something Zendaya would do.<\/p>\n

The Drama<\/em> actress admitted that it was already \u201cnerve-racking\u201d working on a Nolan set for the first time, but that she was also battling freezing conditions where they were shooting that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s the thing. I had my lines and I wanted to have them so down. I think I psyched myself out a little bit,\u201d Zendaya explained. \u201cIt was particularly cold. \u2026 It was in Iceland. My mouth was just frozen. Oh, there is nothing coming out. My mouth just won\u2019t move. Literally. It just came out like, \u2018Blah blah blah.\u2019 So embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cBut I will say, I think just showing up in any situation like this\u2026 It was such a pleasure and a gift to be able to share scenes with people you\u2019ve admired for so long. Part of you has to compartmentalize to a degree. OK, lock in; we\u2019re working. But I was so moved and excited to be there and wanted to do my best work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In The Odyssey<\/em>, based on Homer\u2019s ancient Greek poem, Zendaya plays Greek goddess Athena. The film follows King Odysseus\u2019 (Matt Damon) dangerous voyage back to Ithaca after the Trojan War, including battles with mythical creatures, as he attempts to reunite with his wife, Penelope (Anne Hathaway), and son, Telemachus (Tom Holland).<\/p>\n

The film, which also stars Lupita Nyong\u2019o and Robert Pattinson, arrives in theaters on July 17.<\/p>\n
