Comedian Emma Willmann has a very surprising Disney crush reveal…
Back in the day, when Emma Willmann was just a wide-eyed kid with a bowl cut that could rival Simba’s mane, she had her first Disney crush, and it wasn’t on a human prince charming. Navigating the perilous waters of romance with a Disney crush – it’s like trying to find love in a theme park filled with talking animals and enchanted objects.
There is the awkwardness of introducing your animated significant other to your parents; imagine explaining that your crush is a character from a movie with a soundtrack that spontaneously bursts into song at the most inconvenient moments. For comedian Emma Willmann, her Disney crush reveal might just top them all…
Emma’s heart belonged to Nala, the sassy lioness from The Lion King. She would watch the movie on repeat, daydreaming about going on a Hakuna Matata date with Nala, and sharing a romantic sunset in the Pride Lands. Emma even tried to perfect her own version of the lioness strut, but let’s just say her feline finesse needed a bit of work.
To this day, she still claims that Nala set the standard for her future crushes – sorry, Prince Charming, but you can’t compete with a lioness who knows how to roar with sass.
Emma Willmann is a New York based comedian and actress. Born in Blue Hill, Maine, she has become a rising star in the comedy scene.
