A former Disney Channel star recently made statements about some of the methods used to cast Disney actors.
Keri Russell is a well-known actress that got her start on The All New Mickey Mouse Club. Since her debut, she has starred in numerous films and shows, including Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, Felicity, The Americans, and The Diplomat.
Keri Russell was one of the stars of The All New Mickey Mouse Club. She made her television debut at 15 years old and starred in the show as a Mouseketeer between season 4 and season 6. She has gone on to have a very successful acting career, but she recently made some statements about the casting process at Disney.
While The All New Mickey Mouse Club helped launch her career, Russell recently spoke about some of the methods used to cast actors. According to Newsweek, Russel shared in a recent SmartLess podcast that girls who “looked like they were having sex were removed from the lineup.” She went on to add that “this seriously is the truth: Whenever the girls looked like they were having sex, they were like, ‘Uh, get that one out of here.'”
Even with the controversial casting decisions, Russell also said that her time with Disney “was so fun…it was so cheesy looking back, but it was so fun.” Newsweek reached out to Disney for comment but has not heard back from them yet.
This is not the first time that Kerri Russell has talked about her experience with Disney. She has made similar statements in interviews with People and Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast Dinner’s on Me.
