This
girl can sing, dance…and give great advice! When we got a chance to hang with
the poised fashionista on the
Let It
Shine set, we completely forgot she was only 14!
Why
do we heart Coco Jones (yes, the
Radio Disney Next Big Thing vet)
because she’s just so adorable! Read on for our exclusive interview with the
star.
GL: What do
you heart most about your Let It Shine
character, Roxie Andrews?
Coco: How much
confidence she has. She starts off as this bigger than life pop star—the
insecure one who listens more to what people say than what she thinks about
herself. But in the end, she’s so confident. It’s one thing we have in common.
What’s your
biggest confidence-boosting secret?
Be
proud of yourself because you are one in a million. If you believe in yourself
and have fun being you, then you are ultimately going to succeed no matter
what.
What’s one of
the funniest things that happened while filming Let It Shine?
I
was doing the dance for “What I Said” and pulled one of the feathers out of my
hair. So it was just [dangling] on my fingers while I was dancing and I was
like, ‘Hey, what’s that from my hair?’”
Hilarious!
What are your biggest summer fashion musts?
I
love long, flowy summer dresses in bright colors. And definitely cute, crazy
sunglasses that stand out.
Any favorite
summer snacks?
I
really love Salt & Vinegar chips. Those are my favorite things ever.
Whenever I go somewhere I am like, ‘Do you guys have Salt & Vinegar chips
here?’ And they are like, ‘Yes, Coco.’”
What’s the best piece of advice you could give other teens
out there trying to break into acting and singing?
Just
make sure, if it is something you love, give it your all. Put all you have into
it.
Be
sure to catch Coco in Let It Shine
this Friday night at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel.
Heart
Coco Jones as much as us? Blog about it, babes.
