Camila Cabello Didn’t Audition for Sundance Drama ‘Rob Peace’ After Director Chiwetel Ejiofor Saw Her ‘Charisma’ in ‘Cinderella’


Camila Cabello talks Sundance drama "Rob Peace" and her fledgling film career.

Camila Cabello swapped the Grammy and VMA stages for the snowy streets of Park City to promote her new indie drama “ Rob Peace,” which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. In the movie, Cabello plays the girlfriend of Rob Peace (“Tulsa King” actor Jay Will), a promising Yale student who grew up in a crime-ridden New Jersey neighborhood. Cabello, who rose to fame with the girl group “Fifth Harmony,” didn’t audition for “Rob Peace.” Chiwetel Ejiofor, who wrote, directed and stars as the lead character’s wrongfully imprisoned father, cast Cabello after seeing her acting debut in Kay Cannon’s modern remake of “Cinderella.”
