Mufasa's Tiffany Boone Didn't Know She Was Auditioning for Sarabi


Tiffany Boone exclusively told Us Weekly she didn’t know that she was up for Sarabi when she went in for her ‘Mufasa’ audition

“I created the character that was in my head, [but] I didn’t know I was auditioning for Sarabi,” the actress, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, December 19, while discussing Mufasa: The Lion King. The actor, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly that he initially approached his role in Mufasa: The Lion King with Jeremy Irons’ original portrayal of Scar in mind until he was given some guidance by director Barry Jenkins. And I think Barry Jenkins really led us in the direction of finding the joy in these moments and having a lot of fun and to let the pressure kind of roll off our backs and just do our jobs as actors.”
