QUEBEC, CANADA: Rachel Zegler's casting in Disney's 'Snow White' has stirred up controversy, with Twitch star xQc sharing his perspective and subtly critiquing Zegler's outspoken demeanor.
Popular streamer Felix "xQc" has directed his criticism toward up-and-coming actress Rachel Zegler, who is slated to portray the lead character in Disney's highly anticipated movie, 'Snow White.'
Despite securing a prominent role, Zegler has come under scrutiny due to her vocal and occasionally controversial statements.
xQc calls out Rachel Zegler's provocative remarks
During a live stream, xQc didn't mince his words. After analyzing a segment in which Rachel expressed criticism of the original 'Snow White' story during an interview, the Canadian streamer drew a comparison between her and another young actor renowned for their online presence, Jaden Smith.
"Every time she talks all I can think is Jaden Smith saying (imitating Jaden's voice), 'The political, economic state of the world, dude.' That's all I can think about, dude. It's f*****g Jaden Smith f*****g 2.0," remarked the French-Canadian streamer.
For those curious, it's worth noting that in a separate interview, Jaden Smith also shared his critiques of his peer group.
He mentioned that he doesn't necessarily share the same viewpoints as the younger generation and instead prefers to engage in discussions about the "political and economic state of the world."
Rumors surround Rachel Zegler's removal in Disney's 'Snow White'

However, it's essential to emphasize that these rumors remain unsubstantiated and are purely speculative at this point. There has been no official confirmation regarding Rachel Zegler's participation in the Snow White project.
