Actress Auli’i Cravalho – who played the title character in Disney’s Moana – has come out as bisexual.
In a video posted to Tik Tok, Cravalho was playing to Eminem’s “Those Kinds Nights,” which includes lyrics that describe a conversation between the protagonist and a woman. The woman comes out as bi and, when the speaker says they’re “checking out the chick,” the woman responds, “So am I.”
