Asher Angel strikes a pose on the cover of Mood Magazine‘s Summer 2019 issue!
Here’s what the 16-year-old Shazam! actor had to share with the mag:
On filming his “One Thought Away” music video: “We filmed the music video at the Camarillo Airport in California. The set was by far the biggest set I worked on for a music video. Everybody brought great energy to the set, and I think that shows in the final product. I also was lucky enough to film with Wiz [Khalifa], who is just a great guy. Also, Annie [LeBlanc, his girlfriend], of course – who just keeps a permanent smile on my face. So the day was just perfect.”
On his favorite part of the video: “When Wiz and I were performing in front of the Lamborghini. There was such great energy both on and off camera during that sequence.”
On landing the role of Billy Batson in Shazam!: “I got the audition but was unable to go in because I was in Utah filming Andi Mack. So I sent in a self-tape. I was then asked to come in and test for the part but was unable to – so I sent in another self-tape. About two weeks after that, on a Sunday, I flew to Los Angeles to meet [director] David [F. Sandberg] and do a chemistry test with actors that were up for Shazam. Funny enough, I never tested with Zach [Zachary Levi]. The next day, I met with executives and then headed to the airport to travel back to Utah. While at the Burbank airport, I learned that I booked that part. It was an incredibly surreal experience and a dream come true. … I feel like Zach and I have some inherent commonality and it translated on film.”
