The Lion King: Chiwetel Ejiofor & Alfre Woodard Interview

With director Jon Favreau’s The Lion King now playing in theaters, I recently sat down with Alfre Woodard (Sarabi) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar) for an exclusive interview. During the brief but fun interview, they talked about what it’s like being in a project like this, how even their friends were asking about the film during production, if they ever got to record with other people at the same time, what they love about Disneyland, and how Alfre Woodard wanted to move to California as a kid because of Disneyland.

The Lion King features the voices of Donald Glover (Simba), Beyoncé (Nala), Alfre Woodard (Sarabi), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), Billy Eichner (Timon), Seth Roge (Pumbaa), John Oliver (Zazu), Keegan Michael-Key (Kamari), Florence Kasumba (Shenzi), and Eric André (Azizi), Shahadi Wright Joseph (Young Nala), and JD McCrary (Young Simba).
