You started your modeling career at the age of 10 and ever since then you’ve been immersed in your work. What are some of the sacrifices you’ve had to make?

Booboo: Privacy is a big one. Not being able to just hang out with your friends all of the time. It’s just a bunch of little things. It’s totally worth every sacrifice.

Do you have any secret talents we don’t know about yet?

Booboo: I use to be so into yoyos, I had so many of them! I guess I could be called a yoyo master.

What’s something on the top of your bucket list?

Booboo: I wish I had the guts to skydive. That would be so awesome.

Who would you love the opportunity to work with?

Booboo: If I could work with anybody, dead or alive, it would Heath Ledger–that would be amazing. And maybe in a Terry Gilliam film because it’ll be outrageous and mind blowing.

What drew you to the role as Jay in Descendants?

Booboo: Descendants is a live-action modern day fairytale which introduces Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay who are the teenage descendants of the classic villains–Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar. I just really liked how different he is from myself. Another reason I was drawn to this movie is because the director is Ken Ortega. I haven’t worked with him before and I really wanted too. He’s done so many incredible things.

Chocolate or candy: Candy

Ugliest colour: Brown

Perfect superpower: To be a wizard

Celebrity crush: Zooey Deschanel

Life motto: Still waters run deep (this saying is tattooed on his wrist)
