My name is Aaron Pierre, and I portray the character of Mufasa. And it was a deeply joyful and exciting experience to be gifted the opportunity to contribute in a small way to the legacy of this beloved and cherished and celebrated character, and I'm hopeful that I serve this character and serve the film and serve these wonderful artists that I had the opportunity to collaborate with. The secret to playing this young legend is honestly just having a good
time. I'm Tiffany Boone, and I play Sarabi, and Sarabi is a young lion who's looking for her pride and stumbles upon a new community, and she's challenged to be open to receiving help and being a part of it. And I think I don't know if I cracked the secret, but what I did to try to place a Robbie is to have fun and to be vulnerable and sassy and give a little bit of
Yes. So I drew, and have always drawn, and continue to draw enormous amounts of inspiration from the beautiful artistry of James L Jones. He is one of my greatest inspirations. He is one of my heroes, and for me, he is the top of the mountain. Way before I even became professional in this space, I studied him. I learned from him and was greatly inspired by him, and in so far as in the context of Mufasa James Earl Jones, original and beautiful and unmatched portrayal that was my guiding light and really gave me direction and an intention when embarking on this journey.
The band of misfits includes our character, surabi, Taka, Mufasa Zazu, who is my right hand man, and Rafiki, who becomes our kind of leader of the world. All like, What are you talking about? Man, and he leads us to mile a like we, I know that. So Robbie's character doesn't necessarily believe that Malay is a real place, but I think all of them are looking for a home, and Mufasa really believes in it, and Rafiki believes in it. And there are fearless leaders, or sometimes fearful leaders, and and we follow them to Pride Rock. Yeah.
