About this episode
Malia Baker discusses her role in 'Descendants: Wicked Wonderland' and her journey in the entertainment industry.
FYI spoilers are in this episode! After breaking out as Mary Anne Spier in Netflix's 'The Baby-Sitters Club,' Malia Baker has become one of Disney's brightest young stars as Chloe Charming in the 'Descendants' franchise. Joining us on the couch for the first time, Malia chats all about 'Descendants: Wicked Wonderland,' where Chloe and Red must deal with the consequences of changing the past alongside a new generation of heroes and villains. The Botswana-born, Vancouver-raised actress discusses filming her solo musical number, whether she'd change the past if she could time travel, and the film's themes of friendship, loyalty, and why not every villain is truly a villain. She also opens up about her Disney audition journey, what she learned from working with Brandy, why she intentionally keeps her distance from social media, her activism, and executive producing as well as starring in 'Hair of the Bear,' which was co-directed by Alexandre Trudeau, the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, plus much more.
