Zendaya's Secret Obsession with Her Dog Noon

Hi, I'm Zendaya and I am obsessed with...

Come here, Noon!

Come here!

He's a little camera shy right now.

[whispering] I'll go grab him. Hold on.

I'm obsessed with Noon.

This is my kid.

I've had him since he was a puppy,

he's nine years old now, and he's my forever puppy.

And he makes me very happy.

He brings a lot of joy to all the sets that we've been on.

It's hard not to be obsessed with this face.

Noon is extremely spoiled, I must say that.

He's got a very sensitive tummy,

so he can't eat, y'know, little snacks.

Everybody wants to give him,

oh, can I give you dog a treat?

I'm like mm-mm, 'cause he will be pooping on the carpet.

I think his number one name

that everyone calls him is Doodie, Doodie Butt.

[laughs]

I think that started because when he was a puppy,

he had a little doodie butt accident and Doodie just stuck.

And it kind of sounds like Noon, like Noon, do, do...

No, it doesn't.

Noonie, Doodie? Kind of.

So everyone calls him Doodie.

Or when he's in trouble,

we call him by his full name, Afternoon.

Afternoon!

Get it together.

You're embarrassing me!

[dog whimpers]

There was this one time that we went to,

I think it was in Venice and Noon was with me.

Noon had to use the bathroom.

Now, Venice is not a place

where there's a lot of parks, right?

So I'm like, oh, Noon's got a shit.

Like, we gotta get him outta here.

Like, where are we gonna go?

Plus there's paparazzi and I was like,

please, like, let there not be a picture of me

just, like, in Venice just picking up dog shit.

But there is a picture of me, like,

kind of looking a little bit glamorous

with a doggy poo bag in my hand, full.

Noon thinks he's a guard dog.

Noon thinks he's a German shepherd.

He tried to fight a German shepherd once.

A few times actually!

And I said, son, let's be realistic here, girl.

I have a group of, like, a group of people

that are around me that, like, protect my sanity

and are the key elements,

the key puzzle pieces to my existence,

and he is definitely one of those key pieces, I would say.

[sighs] His favorite place is probably anywhere my mom is,

Darnell is, or Tom is.

He loves all of three of them more than he loves me.

It's fine.

I am okay with that.

But he is happiest when he is around

one of the three of them.

It would be, like, one of those things, y'know,

when, like, people do the videos

where they're like, come here!

Like, he'll choose any of the three of them

over me every time.

I think it's 'cause he knows that I love him too much

and so he's just like, you're doing too much.

You need to calm down.

Yeah, you're putting on things!

[laughs]

It's just what, y'know, being a mother, thankless.

Thankless job, really.

Noon has seen me in all the ways.

Glad he can't talk.

No, I'm kidding! [laughs]

The stories he would tell.

It's like, this woman is a wreck!

Go!

He'll send you an invoice later.

[laughing]
