Naomi Scott gives some edge to her romantic look with some sneakers in these new pics from Teen Vogue‘s September 2019 issue.
The 26-year-old Aladdin star is opening up about her music, heritage and much more in the glossy. Check it:
On appreciating her identity: “Don’t get me wrong, there were moments growing up where you’re like ‘oh I don’t really feel Indian enough.’ But now I’m at a place where I’m like, you know what, it’s OK. It doesn’t make me any less Indian, or any less half Indian. My two favorite meals — one is my mum’s curry and one being a roast dinner. And that is me in a nutshell.”
On her message for anyone in debilitating circumstances similar to her eczema: “I hear you. It’s not nice. You know those days where you want to stay in bed, where you can’t move your neck because it’s so sore – I’m with you. And I guarantee you, the more you own it, the more you feel confident…. This is something I wanted to speak on specifically for this interview because for Teen Vogue, for me, has a real ‘no BS’ honesty thing. If I, out of all people, am honest about my imperfections, then I might just make…I think of a 14-year-old girl and [how] it could make her feel just that bit better: ‘oh, she has it and she plays Jasmine.’”
On appreciating the opportunity to surprise listeners with her music: “I think it has been a real blessing in disguise that I haven’t pressed that button of exposure. I feel so blessed that I was kind of protected from that […] Now, I am in a position where I know what I want to say, I know who I am.”
