Brenda Song Cheers on Fellow Disney Stars Gomez and Cyrus Amid Their Success
In a heartwarming chat with PEOPLE, Brenda Song expressed her pride for fellow Disney alums Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, celebrating how the three have blossomed from their child star days into formidable forces in Hollywood. “It is so incredible. Seeing my contemporaries growing up, it’s like the most beautiful thing,” Brenda gushed while promoting her new Netflix series, *Running Point*, at the Paley Center for Media in New York City. It’s like a warm Disney reunion—minus the mouse ears, of course.
Song, who stole hearts as the sassy London Tipton in *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody*, couldn’t help but share her excitement for Gomez (32) and Cyrus (30), both of whom are slaying the industry right now. Selena is on a roll, recently winning an ensemble SAG award for *Only Murders in the Building* and snagging nominations for her performances in that show and the upcoming musical film *Emilia Pérez*. This year has been pretty sweet for Gomez, solidifying her status as a powerhouse actress while also dabbling in music.
Meanwhile, Miley isn’t just another pop star; she’s been making waves too! This year, she took home a Grammy for her contribution to Beyoncé’s track “II Most Wanted” and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her song “Beautiful That Way” featured in *The Last Showgirl* with Pamela Anderson. Talk about a comeback! Song called it perfectly: “They’re finally getting the flowers that they deserve,” proving even the fiercest ladies can share mutual respect and admiration.
As for Brenda, she’s thriving personally and professionally, co-starring with Kate Hudson in *Running Point*, which premiered on Netflix on February 27. The show takes a lighthearted spin on the true story of L.A. Lakers President Jeanie Buss, with Song playing Ali Lee, the franchise’s chief of staff. Whether it’s basketball drama or Hollywood ambition, this trio continues to show us that the Disney legacy can blossom into something truly special. Who knew that childhood dreams could lead to such fabulous careers?
