Booboo Stewart was dropping all the secrets over the weekend at Disney Channel’s Fan Fest about Descendants‘ Jay – and that includes the biggest secret of all that he almost didn’t play Jay, the son of Jafar, at all!
During the event, he revealed to Access Hollywood that he was original considered for the role of Ben, which is played by Mitchell Hope.
“It’s crazy, right?” he told the outlet. We couldn’t see him as anyone else but Jay now.
Booboo also opened up about Jay’s arc in the third film, which premieres in August.
“Jay lets his guard down a bit in this movie,” he shared. “He’s always been trying to be the tough guy for everyone. You know, the physical one. And he reveals a softer side, which is nice.”
Disney Channel Fan Fest is a unique experience for kids, families, and more than 50 Disney Channel stars. Throughout the exciting day, thousands of kids and families enjoyed Q&A sessions and meet and greets with Disney Channel stars.
