Naomi Scott Opens Up About Ignoring Social Media After Her 'Aladdin' Casting

Naomi Scott Opens Up About Ignoring Social Media After Her 'Aladdin' Casting

Naomi Scott is full of high glamour on the cover of W magazine‘s newest issue.

The 25-year-old actress, who will hit the big screen as Princess Jasmine in Aladdin this month, opened up about her audition and knowing what Aladdin fans were saying about her after her casting. Some social media users were not happy to learn that Naomi‘s background isn’t Middle Eastern, but their thoughts don’t bother her.

“My responsibility is to the character,” she shared in the feature, adding that disregarding comments is hard though.

Naomi adds, “I’m not going to lie to you and say I never look at Twitter to see what people are saying about me. Anyone who says that is a liar! So you have to train yourself. It’s actually like a discipline not to look.”

Aladdin flies into theaters on May 24th.
