Spider-Man star Zendaya reckons that saving the world is just as stressful as passing a test or talking to a girl.

She knows that Parker has his hands full and told RTÉ Entertainment's John Byrne: "He's a human being, for one, and he's a teenager - meaning, he's 15.
"So we kind of explore what would a real 15-year-old do when these powers happen to him.
"It's like, you're not going to all of a sudden understand how to harness this power. You're not going to all of sudden be able to save the world and know what to do.
"You're going to make mistakes, and you're going to think that you know more than you do – because that's what all young people do.
"And then also, the stakes of saving the world – for you, at 15-years-old, when everything is a big deal – this is as high as like passing a test or talking to a girl. It's just as stressful."
Spider-Man: Homecoming is released on July 5. Read our review here.
