Quvenzhané Wallis became a household name last week when she became the youngest nominee at the Oscars for Best Actress. She is nominated for her role in BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD.
During a recent interview with the L.A. Times, the nine-year-old actress said that she wanted “to meet everybody on Disney Channel and Disney XD that are alive.” Part of her wish came true when she got to go on the set of Disney Channel’s A.N.T. Farm last week. A.N.T. Farm is about Chyna Parks (played by China Anne McClain), who gets into a gifted program called Advanced Natural Talents (A.N.T. for short) for her musical abilities. The program is at a local high school and young Chyna skips a few grades in order to participate. The show follows her on her adventures as she navigates through high school amongst the older students.
While in Los Angeles, Quvenzhané got to visit China and her co-stars Sierra McCormick (who plays Olive Doyle), Stefanie Scott (Lexi Reed), Jake Short (Fletcher Quimby), Aedin Mincks (Angus Chestnut).
China Anne McClain tweeted Quvenzhané, saying “So much fun hanging out with you on set yesterday:)Come by again anytime!” Stefanie Scott posted this picture on Instagram, with the caption “Quvenzhané is hanging out on set today! She was just nominated for an OSCAR! What a sweet girl!”
