Do you recognize this A-lister? Eagle-eyed fans call out news station for failing to spot Hollywood actress
In a hilarious twist of fate, a Boston news station unknowingly captured Hollywood royalty in their holiday shopping segment, leaving Zendaya fans in shock.
The 28-year-old Emmy winner, who is currently in Beantown filming The Drama with Robert Pattinson, casually strolled through the popular shopping destination Newbury Street with her mother Claire Stoermer, completely incognito to the oblivious news crew.
On December 1, WCVB Channel 5’s coverage of the city’s Christmas festivities inadvertently starred the Euphoria actress, a fact that went unnoticed until TikTok user @chlomance saw the A-lister.
“WCVB Channel 5 shoots b-roll and doesn’t clock, they have Zendaya,” @chlomance joked, setting off a social media frenzy.
“I saw that and yelled at the TV!” one fan exclaimed, while another interjected, “Dang, Zendaya can’t get any peace cause she’s even accidentally filmed.”
The network, catching wind of their star-studded misstep, replayed the clip the next day, this time with the appropriate subtitle “star-studded stroll.”

The incident even caught the attention of WCVB reporter Matt Reed, who graciously acknowledged the mistake with a “Thanks for letting me know!” commented on the viral clip.
Zendaya has been spending a lot of time in the Boston area in recent months while working on her new movie with the Batman star.
The Drama is a romantic film directed and written by Kristoffer Borgli, starring Zendaya and Pattinson.
The story centers on a couple who face a major crisis just days before their wedding, as unforeseen revelations challenge their perceptions of each other and explore the complexities of love.
In addition to Zendaya and Pattinson, the cast includes Mamoudou Athie and Alana Haim, with principal photography beginning in October 2024 in the United Kingdom and Boston.
Zendaya’s mother, Claire, is a former teacher from Oakland, California, who has had a major influence on her daughter’s life and career.
Her dedication to teaching in underfunded inner-city schools inspired Zendaya, who stated that if she had not acted, she would have become a teacher.
Claire, who has German roots, is known for her natural approach to beauty, choosing not to wear makeup, which has had a lasting impact on Zendaya’s perspective.

Although Claire and Zendaya’s father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, are no longer together after splitting around 2016, they maintain an amicable relationship and continue to effectively co-parent.
Despite their split, both parents continue to actively support Zendaya’s career, often accompanying her to events and celebrating her achievements.
Meanwhile, Zendaya’s adventure with Tom Holland goes from strength to strength.
Their relationship blossomed from a strong friendship that began on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming, where their undeniable chemistry captivated fans and media alike.
After years of speculation and playful denials, they confirmed their romance in 2021 when they were photographed sharing a kiss in a car, much to the delight of their supporters.
The couple has maintained a relatively private relationship since then, emphasizing their desire to keep their bond sacred and separate from their careers.
