Von Oelhoffen is receiving a warm welcome from Trojan alumni. Among them, more than one noted a resemblance to Hollywood movie star, singer, and fashion icon Zendaya.
One fan replied: “Zendaya a hooper now?” Another replied: “Zendaya if she gained 20 pounds.” Von Oelhoffen replied to the latter comment by writing: “this is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.”
Note: Zendaya (Dune, Euphoria, Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Greatest Showman) is currently promoting her new film, Challengers, in which she plays a competitive tennis player turned coach in a love triangle. Trailer below.
