People enjoy being mad online. But it can be hard to predict what is going to set off the “Discourse.” It could be the size of Bradley Cooper’s prosthetic nose in the first trailer for Maestro, in which he will play Leonard Bernstein. Or it might be a demand for Sandra Bullock to return her The Blind Side Oscar, after real-life football player Michael Oher claims the Tuohy family deceived him. The bottom line is, there’s always something to enrage the Internet, and the latest scandal has swept up West Side Story starlet Rachel Zegler for comments she made nearly a year ago about her upcoming take on the legendary Disney character of Snow White.
In a nutshell, Rachel Zegler was asked at D23 about seeing herself on screen as Snow White, which she called “the most incredible experience.” And when asked what she meant about comments she made from the stage about bringing “a modern edge” to the Snow White character, Zegler joked/commented that it’s “no longer 1937” and that her version of Snow White isn’t going to be “saved by the prince.”
