These two phenomenal young people captured the hearts of millions in their roles in Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King. The pair have both gone on to additional projects such as Us and Little. The future is definitely bright for these two and we cannot wait what it holds. And of course, THR didn’t spare the brief Q&A…this is what they had to say:
I’ve been most starstruck by …
McCrary: “Beyoncé. Second is a tie between my surprise sushi lunch with Logic and surprise birthday FaceTime call with my favorite YouTuber, CoryxKenshin!”
Joseph: “Definitely Beyoncé.”
Favorite thing to do in my trailer on-set
McCrary: “Eat fruit snacks and play video games after I kick off my shoes.”
Joseph: “I love watching WWE because I love how fake it is.”
