Zendaya tries out her skills on a skateboard while out with a few friends on Sunday afternoon (October 28) in Venice Beach, Calif.

Did you catch JJJ‘s new feature in Tiger Beat mag? We interviewed the 16-year-old actress’ cousin Ezenia and got a ton of tidbits about Z!

“The best thing about Zendaya is she is always willing to do for others before she does for herself,” Ezenia told us.

“For as long as I can remember she’s always been the type of person to NOT ask for birthday gifts. Every year, she always asks anyone attending her birthday party to bring something not for her but for a charity or cause she’ll be donating the gifts to. The past 2 years it’s been backpacks and school supplies for local schools. She’s also had her party guests bring donations for the local animal shelters. She’s just caring like that.”

Ezenia also told us about one of Zendaya‘s guilty pleasures: “If she could, she’d eat a Rolo McFlurry for breakfast lunch and dinner.”
