Anthony Gonzalez is all suited up for the premiere of his brand new film, Coco, held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Wednesday night (November 8).
The 12-year-old actor voices Miguel in the movie and opened up to Time magazine about how he found out he got the part.
“I auditioned, and it was a long process�about a year,” he remembers about the first initial tests. “Eventually, I went to the Pixar headquarters in Emeryville, Calif., to do scratch [or preliminary test] voices.”
Anthony adds, “Then last Christmas, they said they had a present for me and brought me this box. I opened it and there was this beautiful piece of artwork that just said You got the part. I was so shocked, I just fell to the floor. I couldn’t believe it.”
Georgie Flores, Olivia Rodrigo, Raini Rodriguez, Rico Rodriguez, Anneliese van der Pol, Issac Ryan Brown, and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons are also pictured below.
Coco hits theaters on Wednesday, November 22nd.
