Naomi Scott Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Naomi Scott is surrounding by little Jasmines during her visit at Despierta America at Univision Studios on Thursday morning (May 23) in Miami, Fla.

The 26-year-old actress stopped by the program to chat about her new movie, Aladdin.

In a recent interview with The Independent, Naomi opened up about her Jasmine differs from the animated version.

“She’s studied everything,” she says. “She’s a politician. I wanted her to have tact and to be strong, because she’s not just saying she wants to lead for the sake of saying. She’s showcasing skills of leadership.”

She continues that she didn’t want to play this Jasmine “too young and whimsical.”

“There’s a sense that she knows the situation she’s in. She understands why her dad is overprotective, she clocks Jafar. She sees everything.”

Naomi added of the whole feel of the movie: “We’ve created a world that so many different people can pick things out and take it with them. I think, ultimately for young kids, seeing themselves in a character is really powerful. Even if they don’t get the nuanced, small things, they probably do pick it up subconsciously. For me, I think that’s beautiful.”

Aladdin opens in theaters on Friday, May 24th.

FYI: Naomi wore a pretty Nanushka purple look.

We have fallen completely in love with Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott off the screen!

Hours after hitting the red carpet for their new film, Aladdin, the two stars wrote amazing letters to each other and shared them on Instagram.

“I cannot begin to describe how much I love this woman,” Mena shared about Naomi. “Her honesty, heart & talent is unparalleled. She is one of the most beautiful women I know inside & out.”

He continued, “She is going to be such a positive icon for little girls everywhere & if there’s one reason to go see @disneyaladdin it’s her. @naomigscott I wouldn’t rather be on this journey with anyone else. #MySultan.”

Our hearts!

Naomi also shared kind words about Mena, writing, “@menamassoud I love you forever, I cannot WAIT for people to see how bloody talented you are and how you were able to take such an iconic character and translate everything we loved about Aladdin and more. You are gonna knock people’s socks off. I’m so blessed to be on this journey with you.”

Aladdin is out on Friday, May 24th.

In a recent interview with EW, costume designer Michael Wilkinson explained why Mena is not shirtless like his cartoon counterpart in the new movie.

“For the same reason why we thought it wasn’t appropriate for Princess Jasmine to be flashing her belly button for half of the film, we also felt that once you make that leap from cartoon into live-action, you really have to make some adjustments.”

He added, “We thought having so much skin showing on Aladdin for the whole film would be quite distracting on a human actor as opposed to a cartoon character.”

We’re days away from the release of the live-action remake of Aladdin and the soundtrack is out NOW!

One of the brand new songs in the movie is “Speechless,” which Naomi Scott gets to sing as Princess Jasmine. The empowering new anthem is especially important to the remake as they really push Jasmine’s narrative in this version – and this song capitulates this change in the film.

The song was written by composer Alan Menken with lyrics by Oscar-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote the music for The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen.

The full soundtrack for the movie, also starring Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Will Smith as the Genie, is out now.

You can download “Speechless” on iTunes or stream it below from YouTube.

Naomi Scott and Mena Massoud pose with their co-stars at the press conference for Aladdin in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon (May 19).

The two stars were joined by Will Smith, Nasim Pedrad, Navid Negahban, plus production designer Gemma Jackson, composer Alan Menken, and director Guy Ritchie to chat up the movie ahead of the premiere this week.

Speaking with NY Daily News recently, Naomi and Mena opened up about making the iconic characters their own for the flick.

“We wanted her to be even more ambitious,” Naomi says of bringing a new life to Jasmine. “In the original, she’s fighting for the choice to marry who she wants, which is amazing, but in this movie, she’s not just fighting for her own choice. She’s fighting for the freedom and the choice of her people.”

She adds, “At the beginning of the movie, her objective is she wants to lead. I think that’s really important, because I think sometimes it’s about just telling the story through a female narrative. Actually having a narrative, whatever that may be. For Jasmine, that’s finding her voice.”

Mena says of Aladdin, “He’s on a search for his personal identity, and I think that’s something that everybody goes through. I went through it in high school. It’s like, ‘Who am I? Am I good enough? Is my background good enough? I know I’m different, but do I have a voice?’ (Aladdin) literally goes on that journey in the film.”

Aladdin hits theaters on Friday, May 24th.
