JJJ is so pumped for tonight’s premiere of Zapped that we just had to catch up with star Emilia McCarthy about what to expect!
The 16-year-old actress gave us the scoop on playing the mean girl, working with Zendaya, getting her dance on, and more!
Also starring Spencer Boldman, Zapped centers on 16 year-old Zoey Stevens (Zendaya), a skilled dancer and straight-A student who is having a hard time adjusting to a new high school, but things change when a dog training app on her smart phone begins to somehow control all the boys around her.
Oh, and did we mention we got our hands on an exclusive clip and photos of Emilia from the DCOM? Check them out with our interview below!
Zapped airs TONIGHT, June 27 @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel!
JustJaredJr.com: First things first, tell us about Zapped and how you got involved with the movie!
Emilia McCarthy: I was offered a role in another DCOM, but unfortunately it conflicted with the filming of the movie I was filming during that time: Bunks, so Disney asked me to audition for Zapped! But because I was away shooting Bunks, I had to do my audition tape at one of the cast member’s, Leigh Truant’s basement – including my full out dance routine! But I couldn’t be happier that I got the privilege to work on this movie! I love that it incorporated dance on top of the super fun plot of having an app that can control boys. What more could you want!
