I didn't know who zendaya was until Dune. I heard the name, never saw the face until dune. Apparently she was a super big name by then? Idk I've heard she's in a lot of things but most of them I've never heard of or never cared to watch.

It really just depends on how they're famous and what media people consume.

I'm absolutely positive there are dozens of artists of one type or another that I have never heard of that would make people do a double take and ask me what rock I've been living under.

Sometimes I feel like that Daniel Thrasher sketch where hoodie guy doesn't know who Lil' Pregnant is.

Until this moment, I kind of thought that Zendaya was a brand of yogurt.
