Zendaya’s 'little white boys’ line in the trailer for her upcoming movie has left viewers stunned.
Ever since the first trailer dropped yesterday (20 June), people have not stopped talking about Challengers.
Starring 26-year-old Zendaya alongside West Side Story’s Mike Faist and The Crown’s Josh O’Connor, the ‘tennis movie’ even has those who couldn’t care less about the sport hooked.
Sure, it follows her character Tashi Duncan - a renowned tennis player - but the focus is drawn to her love triangle with Art (Faist) and Patrick (O’Connor).

Art becomes her husband, faithful to her from their young days of starry fame and through her knee injury, when she coaches him and gets him to compete in the Challengers tennis tournament.
It’s there where he again faces Patrick, his rival in every way after their teenage love triangle and teased threesome - Tashi has the pair kissing her neck during a steamy scene in the trailer.
The trailer turns up the heat more and more and you’d be forgiven for forgetting that tennis is supposedly at the centre of this film directed by Luca Guadagnino.

And while Rihanna’s ‘S&M’ booms throughout the trailer, Zendaya certainly dominates and gives some iconic lines.
One - which is already echoing around everyone's minds - is when she says: “I’m taking such good care of my little white boys.”
Yep, exactly.
Fans have gone into a frenzy over it, with one admitting on Twitter: "I love Tashi already."

The Disney-kid turned Euphoria star is stepping things up another notch in this steamy film and fans were not ready for it.
Another wrote: “'I'm taking such good care of my little white boys' pls zendaya jdjsjsjsjsjsjs."
While a third added: "'I’m taking such good care of my little white boys' oh Zendaya that Oscar already has your name on it."

A fourth viewer penned: "Luca knew what he was doing putting S&M in the trailer. He really said embrace the thirst. Also the 'I'm taking such good care care of my little white boys' line delivery?!?! We really gonna see Z being sexy and a pr**k onscreen we really won."
One even quoted the already-iconic line and added: "SOMEONE RUN ME OVER WITH A BUS."
Challengers is set to be released in cinemas on 15 September.
