Rachel Zegler on Reinventing Snow White and Juliet and Facing Off Against Toxic Disney Fans: ‘I’ve Watched Women Get Torn Down My Whole Life’
Rachel Zegler discusses her transition from film to Broadway, dealing with public criticism and her anticipation for playing Snow White.
Gold’s vision leans heavily into the culture of its Gen Z cast: Zegler says he originally pitched the project to her as “‘Romeo and Juliet’ if it was set in Troye Sivan’s ‘Rush’ music video.” When Zegler comes downstairs from her West Hollywood hotel room for breakfast, she’s wearing a floral maxi dress, her hair pulled up with an oversized claw clip to show off a pair of gold hoop earrings.
