Chris Pine speaks on being nervous to sing opposite Oscar winner Ariana DeBose in Disney’s Wish: “It’s a big deal”

While the actor has showcased his vocal talent in the past, in a recent interview, Chris Pine admitted to feeling nervous about performing opposite Oscar winner Ariana DeBose in the upcoming Disney animated film Wish. The actor shared, "Not at all. It's just not something I do on a daily when you're singing opposite Ariana... it's a big deal."

Knowing about Chris Pine was nervous because of her, Ariana Debose said, "He can sing! He can absolutely sing. When I found out that I was cast in this film, I was like, 'Oh!' I mean, did you see him in Into The Woods? ...I think Chris is one of those examples of not understanding just how talented he is."

She also shared that fans will be surprised when they hear Pine's work in Wish, saying, "I love the sound of his voice, the way that he moulds words. He is a delicious villain. You know people are going to love to hate him, and I just love watching him work."

The movie welcomes audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.

Disney India is all set to release Wish on November 24, 2023. Only in cinemas.
