“So some people are scared of him, and some people are not so… he’s pretending to be human,” said Emma. When they met Naomi, who plays Jasmine in the movie, Emma later said she looked beautiful. Her sister Mia liked Naomi’s haircut. “I loved having him grant wishes. And having magic and food, that’s amazing!” Emma exclaimed.
