Slated as being the next breakout star in Hollywood, Naomi Scott set to play Princess Jasmine in the live action Aladdin being released in a few weeks from now, is already an industry favorite for all the right reasons. First of all she’s immensely talented as an actress and singer. I’ve listened to a few songs off of her Promises EP, and it’s probably better than anything in pop or R&B today. Her voice is so soulful and leaves an impression. She even gets to perform an original song in the movie.

Naomi also has impressive acting chops. Disney, Guy Ritchie, and the producers were completely smitten by the soulful Londoner. The studio executives only needed to see 40 seconds of her audition tape to decide that Naomi was a natural shoe in for the role. Elizabeth Banks director of the new Charlies Angels movie says, “People are going to see a lot of range from Naomi. I think this is going to be an epic year for her.”

Apart from her distinct acting and musical talents, and good looks, Naomi is a total tomboy, girl next door, a devout Christian and is just totally likable. The casting of Naomi was met with some criticism because she’s not of Middle Eastern heritage, but has Indian and English ancestry. Yet Naomi took the criticism in stride and is focused on delivering the best possible Princess Jasmine for the big screen.
