Rita Ora celebrated England’s Euro 2024 success as news of the semi-final win reached the red carpet premiere of Descendants: The Rise Of Red in Hollywood. British music star Ora, who plays the tyrannical Queen of Hearts from Wonderland in the musical spin-off, appeared in a flowing red gown at the premiere alongside her co-stars including US singer Brandy – who reprises her role as Cinderella. Ora told the PA news agency she “loved” playing a villain in the new instalment of the Disney film, but “more importantly, England are through to the final of the Euros”, she shouted excitedly.
“I was watching on the way here in the car and can I just say that all the players, I don’t know how old they are – like 12 or 21, I don’t know the same thing – but the fact that they’re killing it is a dream come true. “Let’s go, let’s go. I’m so excited.
..I’ll be watching.
” It marks the first film since Disney star Cameron Boyce, who played Carlos in the film trilogy, died in 2019 at the age of 20 due to complications from epilepsy. Ora said as a fan of the film series, she asked star China Anne McClain “what it was like” to work alongside him. “It’s just such an incredible support system and friendship that they have all made, it’s lovely to see them so close in such moments like that,” 33-year-old Ora told PA.
“We really had a great time connecting with one another and trying to make something out of a situation.” Descendants: The Rise Of R.
