When I was cast as Moana at the age of 14, it changed my life wonderfully and launched my career. However, in this live-action version, I will not be returning to the role.

I am truly honored to pass this baton on to the next young woman descending from a Pacific Island, to honor the amazing people, cultures and communities that helped inspire history and I am excited to see the beautiful Pacific representation that lies ahead. ”, told the actress.
