Zendaya suffered heat stroke while filming Dune: Part Two after failing to drink enough water. In an interview with W Magazine, the star, 28, admitted she purposefully limited her water intake due to the faraway location of the bathroom and her 'restrictive' costume that took at least 10 minutes to remove.

Zendaya was filming in Jordan and ended up calling her mother from the bathroom floor, sick. 'We were in Jordan. It was very hot, and I remember thinking, "Oh, man, the bathrooms are so far away," because we had to hike to the locations. If you have to pee, you need at least 10 minutes to get out of the costumes,' Zendaya recalled.

'I was like, D*mn, I don't want to drink too much water. I had such a fear of peeing myself or shitting myself, honestly, in the suit on set. One day, I didn't drink enough and I had a heatstroke. I felt so barfy. 'I remember calling my mom on the bathroom floor, saying, "I feel terrible." She was like, "Did you drink water today?" I said no. I thought I was being smart, but you can't do that. So, lesson learned.'.
