The Zombies 2 actress opened up about her and her co-star’s bond in a new interview with People.
Meg revealed that her dream “was always to be in a movie that was a musical. High School Musical was my entire life!” (Another of her dreams is “to be in a Marvel movie!”)
“The message is incredible,” Meg said about her new film, which premiered on Friday (February 14) on Disney Channel. “No matter where you come from, there can be people you think are scary, but you have to get to know them and realize that they’re just like everybody else.”
“High school is such a scary time and you have no idea where to fit in,” she continued. “In Zombies 2, Addison is trying to find her place and figure out where she fits in. But if you’re nice to everyone, and inclusive, you’ll find the group you’re meant to be in.”
“We met during the audition process,” she added about Milo. “On the last one, we really got to know each other. They wanted us to sing a duet and we sang ‘Love Is An Open Door’ from Frozen. We really relied on each other. And we formed such a special bond.”
“I feel so blessed to play Addison,” Meg shared. “I’ve learned a lot from her. She’s such a good person and her intentions are always so pure.”
Zombies 2 is just less then a day away and we’re taking a look at what led to this moment!
The sequel to last year’s Zombies continues the love story between cheerleader Addison and zombie Zed, played by Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim.
Before they graced our screens, they of course had to audition to be in the movie, and we have uncovered those auditions once again, and they look so young. Talk about a Throwback Thursday!!
During their auditions, Milo and Meg introduce their characters as if they are making a vlog.

“Anytime we were speaking to Trevor was hilarious,” Ariel added. “Like crying laughing.”
“Trevor is a really, really special person. He just has that energy that is so infectious and this isn’t a specific moment, but just playing games,” Milo chimed in. “We’re such a family that love to just talk and be with each other. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing, as long as we’re together. We’ve really lucked out with this group and the rest of the cast.”
“PINCH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST KIDDING!!! FIGURE OF SPEECH!!! BUT, IS THIS REAL???” she captioned a pic on Instagram.
