Disney’s Moana character might wish she could be the perfect daughter, but her voice actress Auli‘i Cravalho can rest easy knowing that she’s been able to stay grounded and give back to her parents.
The 24-year-old opened up to People about much her mother, Puanani, made ends meet during her childhood. “We lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Mililani when I was cast. I slept in the bedroom, my mom slept on the couch. She gave me everything,” she said, sharing that she was raised on food stamps while growing up in Hawaii.
