“I do speak to her, and I have to say she is the sweetest and my little sweetheart,” she shared. “And I would love to find something to do with her someday.”

Berry also noted, “I mean, hopefully we will, but I’m just a supporter of her.”

The actress further stated that she loves everything that Zendaya has been doing. “I think she is changing the game in so many ways for her generation,” she continued.

Regarding Zendaya seemingly paying homage to Berry with her 78th Emmy Awards look, which included a pixie cut similar to what the actress is known for, the Monster Ball actress said, “And I couldn’t be more proud of someone, or to know someone honored that she would pay homage to me that way. That was really sweet.”
