9 Facts About The Harder They Fall's Zazie Beetz That Prove She's a Badass in Real Life, Too

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Zazie explained the French origin behind her name. Her father borrowed it from the French movie Zazie dans le Metro, which was an adaption of the book by the same name.
