JoJo Siwa is about to add "movie star" to her already impressive and stacked résumé!
According to a report from Deadline, the 17-year-old YouTuber personality, dancer, and singer is set to star in her first major film project, a body-swapping Christmas comedy entitled Bounce!
Distributed by Paramount Players with direction from To All the Boys I've Loved Before's Susan Johnson and Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett producing, Bounce "tells the story of a teenage girl who wishes she could trade her family for a new one on Christmas Eve," Deadline writes "Her wish is granted and she finds herself 'bouncing' into the lives of other girls and living Christmas Day on repeat — learning the value of family, finding your voice and the power of love."
The news of JoJo landing her first leading comes on the heels of an already incredible year for the former Dance Moms star.
Back in January, she publicly came out as queer and was met with a ton of public support and outpouring of love! In February, JoJo also revealed that she was in a loving, relationship with her girlfriend Kylie in a sweet AF Instagram post just ahead of the Valentine's Day holiday (the two were best friends beforehand for over a year, according to JoJo herself).
And earlier this month, JoJo opened up more about her sexuality, saying that if she had to pick one label, for now, pansexual fits her best.
"I don't know, bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight. I always just say gay because it just kind of covers it or queer because I think the keyword is cool. I like queer," she said in an interview with People Magazine. "Technically I would say that I am pansexual because that's how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human is my human."
We love when good things happen to good people, and we seeing young, amazing queer people succeed! Congrats, JoJo!
