Brenda Song is a golden beauty for her feature in Grumpy magazine‘s Issue No 15!
The Dollface actress opened up about auditioning, Suite Life of Zach & Cody, and her mom’s breast cancer diagnosis. Check it out:
On auditioning for any role: “I think it’s that mentality [you have] when you’re younger and you have no fear, because I didn’t even think about the fact that I didn’t look like everyone else… [I] go audition, read for the characters, and not think about anything else but to go in there and give the best audition regardless of what the role is asking for… All I wanted to do was to act so I went in.”
On her Dollface cast being like their characters: “I’m definitely the most like Madison. I’m the one who would schedule everything and start a group chat letting the other girls know that we are meeting at that place and time. Kat is more of a homebody. Shay traveled the world, so if you need a restaurant recommendation, she knows everyone and everything. Esther is always cheerful. So we are actually those characters – obviously not that extreme.”
On being there for her mom through her breast cancer diagnosis: “When I first learned about my mom diagnosis, I was 16 [and] working on Suite Life. I was so scared… I was sitting there with my mom at her doctor’s appointment, asking the questions that I thought were silly and dumb, seeing what kind of options were out there and what treatment she was doing. All of those things were so helpful for me… Being there and supporting my mom is more important to me than anything I will ever do in my career.”
