Aladdin's Naomi Scott Plays Princess Jasmine as a Strong Young Woman

Naomi Scott looks stunning on the cover of British Vogue‘s April 2019 issue, on newsstands March 8.

The 25-year-old Aladdin star spoke about the upcoming live action movie, her past acting rejections, and more. Here’s what she shared…

On her approach to playing Princess Jasmine: “I saw her as a young woman, not a teenager, with a mature strength that can cut you down. So I said to them, ‘Just to let you know, I want to play her strong, and if that’s not what you’re looking for, that’s OK, but it’s not for me.”‘

On past acting disappointments: “I remember thinking in auditions, ‘OK, this is it, this is the one.’ And then not getting it. And then the next time thinking, ‘OK, this is the one.’ And not getting it again. I was the Nearly Girl for a long time.”

On the Charlie’s Angels reboot: “You don’t see much about their personal lives or who they’re dating. It’s about the agency going global, getting into intelligence and tech, whistleblowing. You don’t see bikini shots of their bums.”
