Rachel Zegler Promotes Controversial Snow White Film on GMA

Rachel Zegler's portrayal of Snow White in Disney's live-action remake, which premiered on March 21, 2025, has sparked a mix of excitement and controversy. While some fans have defended her casting against critics who argue her Latina background does not fit the character's traditional portrayal, Zegler has expressed her intention to modernize the story, critiquing its outdated romantic elements. The film has faced backlash for its CGI dwarfs, leading to criticism from the dwarfism community, and a scaled-back premiere amidst various disputes. Zegler's promotional appearances included a stylish casual look on Good Morning America, reflecting her shift away from the glamorous princess aesthetic. Despite the controversies surrounding the film and her relationship with co-star Gal Gadot allegedly being strained, Zegler described her experience on set as 'life-changing.' Critics' reviews have been mixed, praising Zegler's performance while questioning the adaptation's fidelity to the original story.
