Billy Porter Will Play The Fairy Godmother In Disney’s Live-Action Cinderella

Billy Porter has confirmed that he is set to play the role of the fairy godmother in the upcoming Cinderella live-action remake.

Also confirmed to have a role in the film is Camila Cabella, who will play Cinderella, while Frozen star Idina Menzel is believed to be playing the evil stepmother.

Announcing the news during an interview at New Yorker Festival, Billy said:

“I have a couple movies that I’m working on. I’m gonna be playing the fairy godmother in the new Cinderella movie will Camila Cabello.”

Known for his fabulous sense of style, and even more fabulous personality, we think that Billy is the perfect fit to play aul Cinder’s godmother. Disney has never seen such glamour.

But, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Disney has reportedly announced the release date for the film, which is February 21, 2021, meaning we have quite some time to wait before we can see the classic fairytale come back to life.

2019 has been very kind to Billy, while he is set to star in the upcoming Like A Boss movie which will hit cinemas early next year, he also won the award for Outstanding Actor at the Emmys just a few weeks ago, making him the first-ever openly gay actor to swoop up the prize.
