Joey King & Brianne Tju Uglies Interview header YT
Joey King and Brianne Tju are young adults trapped in a dystopian future in which perfection is everything in Netflix's Uglies. King first broke out as a child actor with the Selena Gomez-co-starring hit Ramona and Beezus before finding further success with everything from Netflix's Kissing Booth franchise to The Act, for which she earned both an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination, and We Were the Lucky Ones.
Alongside King and Tju, the ensemble Uglies cast includes The Tomorrow War's Keith Powers, Outer Banks' Chase Stokes and Inventing Anna's Laverne Cox. Hailing from The Babysitter director McG, the Netflix film serves as an adaptation of Scott Westerfeld's sci-fi novel series, which spans four books and could potentially build into a new franchise for the streaming platform.
Joey King: Well, honestly, it's made for them. This book, I read it when I was 11 years old, and the feeling that it gave me is the feeling I hope that it gives your 11-year-old, and it is that it may not come naturally, it may not come easy, and it may be something you have to fight throughout your life, but you are perfect as you are. And to fight for self-acceptance.
Joey King: I was really excited about the journey to the smoke, because reading that as a young girl, I really pictured it all in my head when I read those books. I really felt like I was there, I felt like I was watching it in real time. It transported me. And so I was really excited to see how we were going to be able to do that and have that come to life. And any scene with because I love you.
