Disney continues transforming beloved animated classics into real-world adaptations, with one of the upcoming live-action remakes being Snow White. The adaptation has encountered casting backlash over star Rachel Zegler and the decision not to hire little people for the titular Seven Dwarfs. In a recent interview, Jackass star Wee Man laid into the House of Mouse for the casting decision, stating that it’s a detrimental move for actors with dwarfism.
Leaked photos from the set recently ignited outrage among fans and the dwarfism community, as only one of the stand-ins for the dwarves had dwarfism, while the rest were taller, “average” actors. This casting choice has raised concerns about the limited opportunities for little people in the entertainment industry, even from some people in the industry.
