Auli’i Cravalho | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Auli’i Cravalho doesn’t tire of people recognizing her as Moana, but did admit its more the parents than their kids most times.

Speaking with People in a new interview, the 19-year-old actress revealed that more and more parents are recognizing her rather than the young kids that the Disney movie is geared to.

“It’s really funny, actually. A lot of parents recognize me as Moana and then kids will be like, ‘I’m sorry, do you see this girl? She does not look like her,’” Auli’i shared. “And I’m like, ‘I get it. I really do. It’s a blow to my heart, but also I feel you, kid’.”

She does admit that “whenever I am recognized, it’s really neat”, even if she’s wearing her face mask in her new adopted home of Los Angeles.

“While I’m here, living in L.A., wearing a mask kind of keeps me protected in the grocery store and I can finally buy soup without a kid being like, ‘Are you Moana?’ And then I have to sing, ‘I am Moana.’ You know, it just makes the trip a little bit shorter,” she says.

Earlier this year, Auli’i opened up about her sexual identity. See what she said here…

Auli’i Cravalho is speaking out about the Reopen Hawaii Protest that happened over the weekend in Honolulu and condemning the residents who participated.

The 19-year-old Native Hawaiian and Moana star took to social media after watching the video of the protest.

“Not a single Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) to be seen,” Auli’i wrote on her account in response to the video of locals protesting the state’s new order to stay and work at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Auli’i added later on, “My thoughts haven’t left the multi generational households. The young and able need to protect the old. Protect our kupuna!!!”

Kapuna mean grandparents or ancestors.

Hawaii has reported around 8,450 confirmed cases of the virus, with almost 200 new ones just today (September 1).

Auli’i can now be seen in Netflix’s All Together Now, streaming now.

A musically gifted high school student with aspirations to attend Carnegie Mellon, Amber balances work, life, and some tough life secrets with a smile. But when new obstacles present themselves that threaten her dreams, Amber must learn to lean on the strength of her chosen family to move forward.

The film was directed by Brett Haley and based on Matthew Quick’s novel “Sorta Like a Rock Star”, and also stars Fred Armisen, Justina Machado and Judy Reyes.

All Together Now will premiere August 28 on Netflix.

In the TikTok, Auli’i sang about to the following Eminem lyrics from “Those Kinda Nights”: “Seriously though, jokes aside, how you doin’? You straight? She said: ‘No, I’m bi.’ She said: ‘Are you drunk?’ I said: ‘No, I’m high. I’m checkin’ out the chick,’ she said: ‘So am I.’”

When asked by a fan whether she liked girls, she then directed a fan to that TikTok video on Twitter.

Late last year, Auli’i made headlines after appearing in this live Disney musical.
