Naomi Scott’s best friend’s reaction to her being cast as Princess Jasmine is properly hilarious

To be fair, we'd probably react the exact same way.

Don't worry if the name Naomi Scott doesn't ring any bells right now, because it is going to be EVERYWHERE in the not-too-distant future. While she got her blockbuster break playing the Pink Ranger in the 2017 big screen reboot of Power Rangers, it is fair to say that 2019 is going to be her year. In a few months time, she'll be playing one of Charlie's Angels in that big budget remake, but before then, she'll be taking us to a whole new world, as she plays Princess Jasmine in the Disney's new live-action adaptation of Aladdin. JOE was lucky enough to sit down with the actress in the run-up to the movie's release, and we chatted about everything from her favourite Disney movie of all time (not including Aladdin, because that would be cheating!), where she was when she found out she'd got the role (and what her reaction was), and making the difficult choice when it came to the Ultimate Aladdin Question. We also tried to teach her an easy way to learn the Irish accent, just because. Check out the interview in full right here: JOE was also lucky enough to sit down and chat with Aladdin himself (aka Mena Massoud), and you can check out that interview right here. Otherwise, if you haven't watched it yet, the trailer for the movie is below, before it arrives in Irish cinemas on Wednesday 22 May, and you'll be able to book your tickets to go see it right here.
