Demi Moore has a huge fan in Zendaya who is keen to enlist the screen icon to teach her some pottery skills.
The two actresses found they had more in common that just their impressive film careers as they discussed the importance of women in film in a new interview.
They bonded over pottery and baking for Hollywood Reporter’s Leading Ladies issue where they discussed hobbies and who they are outside of working.
The duo were joined by Tilda Swinton, 64, Zoe Saldana, 46, Angelina Jolie, 49 and Mikey Madison, 25, for the round table discussion.
During the interview the women revealed what they do in their spare time and how they relax between filming projects when Zendaya confessed that she has started making pottery.
The Challengers star, 28, told the actresses that she has only recently managed to figure out what brings her joy, explaining: ‘What other than work brings me joy? For me, it’s been about trying new things, as stupid as it sounds, like pottery or anything with your hands.

The two actresses bonded over pottery and Demi even joked that with her prior experience in clay from her iconic film Ghost (pictured) she could help Zendaya open up a studio
And Zendaya – catching on to the joke shared that she had re-created Demi’s memorable scene with Hunter Schafer on the hit HBO show Euphoria (pictured)
‘I can make a good scone now, you know? It’s just trying to discover what my life is outside of the presentation of who I am.’
The Dune actress went on to explain that while she appreciates having time to herself, she is also thankful for connections with other women in the film industry.
And it appears the feeling was mutual as at the end of the join interview Demi, 62, joked that she would help Zendaya set up her own pottery studio, referencing her role in Ghost with Patrick Swayze.

Joking that she had prior pottery experience, the Substance star offered her help to Zendaya before revealing she would actually be more of a hindrance.
‘That’s so funny. We actually did that in Euphoria. We reenacted [the pottery scene in Ghost],’ Zendaya told Demi.
Demi replied shocked: ‘Oh, you did? Oh my God. Actually, I was a disaster with the pottery. Mine literally looked like kindergartner pots.’

Elsewhere in the interview, one A-lister was left completely starstruck by a fellow industry star.
The We Need To Talk About Kevin actress Tilda, said she was once ‘too shy’ to go up to Angelina and introduce herself at a Hollywood bash.
She said: ‘She was there. We had Liza Minnelli over here and we had Sacha Baron Cohen over there and Angie was there.
‘And both Pedro [Almodóvar] and I were scorched with the glamour of it. We just couldn’t believe that we were present.’
Angelina replied: ‘And I was probably – because I never go out – really alone and not sure anybody wanted to talk to me. And probably I would’ve been so happy had they said hello.’

Tilda added: ‘We’re all shy.’
The six stars gathered together on a round table to chat about their experiences in the industry and all said how nice it was to talk to each other.
Angelina said: ‘A lot of women in the past didn’t have this table. They didn’t have community in this way.’
Tilda added: ‘I think we [women] know how to do this. This is what we do. Yes. You know, we sit around tables and we chat and we support each other, and we witness each other.’
