Rachel Zegler: Actress celebrates “Schneewittchen” start

Rachel Zegler (23) celebrated the publication of her film “Snow White” with a Throwback photo. A few days ago, the real film remake of the Disney classic “Schneewittchen and the seven dwarfs” from 1937 came to cinemas. On this occasion, the main actress shared a post that shows how connected to the famous fairy tale figure.

On her social media profile, the actress divided several snapshots, including a picture from her childhood, on which she grins in the camera as a Snow White. Further recordings show Zegler on the set of the Disney film in Snow White Classic Dress. “Dreams are really true! ‘Snow White’ is now in the cinemas!”, The 23-year-old wrote about the series of pictures.

Although Zegler celebrated the start of her film, she was exposed to violent criticism in the past few months – among other things because she as Latina took on the role of the fairytale figure with “skin as white as snow”. In addition, the infame was asked whether the main actress was “beautiful enough”. Finally, Gal Gadot (39) embodies the evil queen, who is jealous of the beauty of Schneewittchen.

But not only the appearance of the main actresses caused a stir, but also her political views on the continuing conflict in Palestine: While Gadot supports her homeland of Israel on social media, Zegler is open to Palestine.

But Zegler herself also made headlines with her statements about her leading role: the actress described the role images in the original characters as “outdated” and “sexist”. “The prince will not save her and she won’t dream of real love,” said Zegler, who wanted to give her role a more modern image.
