There&#8217;s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird! So we didn&#8217;t do that this time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We have a different approach to what I&#8217;m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie,&#8221; Rachel continued, referring to Andrew Burnap.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All of Andrew&#8217;s scenes could get cut, who knows? It&#8217;s Hollywood, baby!&#8217; she joked, before admitting in a separate interview that she was &#8216;terrified&#8217; when she went on a Snow White ride at Disney World.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was scared of the original version. I think I watched it once and never picked it up again. I&#8217;m being so serious,&#8221; she said in the interview alongside Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I watched it once, and then I went on the ride in Disney World, which was called Snow White&#8217;s Scary Adventures. &#8216;Doesn&#8217;t sound like something a little kid would like. I was terrified of it, never revisited Snow White again,&#8217; she added.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok user @nuttybutter96 shared snippets of the interview and questioned why Zegler was being &#8216;so smug&#8217; and captioned her post: &#8216;If you hate the original this much, why would you want to make the remake.

They simply cannot repeat the same mistakes and allow their actors to be so vocal in their own personal opinions during promotions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It can have a huge impact on ticket sales, especially with the amount of negative backlash so early in the promo trail, Carla added.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-12430289\/Snow-White-star-Rachel-Zegler-backlash-Disney.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snow White star Rachel Zegler wears her heart on her chest as she steps out in New York sporting a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
