Catherine Laga’aia Speaks Out

She’s Moana‘s star — and somehow, she’s making it work.

So, what’s the secret to her success? Her dad, Jay Laga’aia — Star Wars‘ Captain Typho — has some advice: ‘your job is the audition’. Not the actual gig — the tryout. And, it’s actually working for her. Every audition, every role — she’s all in. But, what really sets her apart is her attitude — she’s got this.

The Advice That Sticks

And, honestly — it’s kinda inspiring. She’s a ‘nepo baby’ — and she’s lowkey embracing it. ‘I’m completely aware that I’m a nepo baby’ — she says with a laugh. But, the thing is — she’s not apologizing for it. No joke, it’s refreshing. Somehow, she’s confidence-personified.

How does she keep doing this? She’s shutting down critics before they can even speak — and it’s all because of her confidence. Yet, it’s not just that — it’s her passion for the work. She’s got a point, though: it’s not about the label — it’s about the work. And, she’s putting in the work — learn more about her journey.

Real talk — fans are loving her. She’s making waves — and it’s not just because of her dad. But, the thing is — she’s breaking the internet with her honesty. No one saw this coming — a ‘nepo baby’ owning it, and killing it. Gotta say — it’s pretty cool.

Plot twist: she’s not apologizing for who she’s. And, that’s what we love about her — no joke.
