HuffPost
Brandy Norwood and Paolo Montalban reprise their iconic roles for a new generation in “Descendants: Rise of Red.”
Ahead of Brandy Norwood’s forthcoming horror film “The Front Room,” she took a walk down memory lane to reprise one of her most renowned roles: Cinderella.
In “Descendants: Rise of Red,” which premiered in July and is now streaming on Disney+, the singer-actor stepped back into her glass slippers with her Prince Christopher Charming (Paolo Montalban) to show a new generation the magic of 1997’s “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” But this time, with a title Gen Alpha and younger Gen Zers are growing up watching.
“I just felt super blessed and just so excited to play this iconic role again and to get the opportunity to work with Paolo again,” she told HuffPost. “It was just an amazing time, experience and I’m just so grateful for it.”
Montalban sang Brandy’s praises, recalling the moment he saw Brandy in costume for the first time in more than 25 years.
“First I see the dress, and then I see the hair, and then I see Brandy. And it’s just... It’s like the confluence of the universe coming together saying, ‘This is the reward for living a good life,’” the actor said, full of admiration.
