Rachel Zegler and Halle Bailey are the epitome of grace when handling the increased scrutiny that comes with superstardom. The live-action stars of Snow White and The Little Mermaid, respectively, were paired together for Variety's "Actors on Actors," where they had an hourlong conversation about their shared experience of filming massive Disney films, from stunt work to dealing with Internet trolls.
At one point in the talk, Zegler—whose film Snow White is set to come out in 2025—told Bailey that she was "so inspired" by how Bailey handled the racist backlash to her casting. When the West Side Story actress asked if Bailey ever let it all affect her privately, Bailey admitted, "Of course, yeah."
