Bella Thorne: 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me (‘I Think an Older ’Shake It Up’ Would Be Hilarious’)

usmagazine.com:

Is there a new reboot on the way? Bella Thorne would love to see her former Disney channel show, Shake It Up, return to the small screen — with a twist.“I think an older Shake It Up would be hilarious,” the former child star, 25, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, adding that she wants to know “all about where [my and Zendaya‘s characters,] Cece and Rocky are now.” Thorne and the Emmy winner, 26, starred as aspiring performers who land a job as background dancers on their favorite TV show from 2010 to 2013.

The pair formed a long-lasting bond during their time on the Disney sitcom, but they didn’t hit it off right away.“It’s like we said [in] a couple interviews when we were younger, how we explained how in the first season we weren’t friends and it took us those other two seasons of becoming so close,” Thorne exclusively told Us in February 2021, explaining that she and Zendaya often felt like they were pitted against one another. “[It was hard] not having someone pitted against you [before] and then all of a sudden, now everyone is pitting you against each other.

That fed into our heads. It made us not [be] friends in that first season.”After having a “beautiful talk in the middle of a sound stage,” the Babysitter star explained that she and the “Replay” singer were able to make amends. “We were really able to put our cards out on the table and [understand] each other,” Thorne said, adding that they were able to be “so mature at such a young age.”Nearly one decade later, Thorne is still supportive of her former onscreen bestie. “Zendaya’s amazing.

I f—king love her,” she told Us. “She’s always been amazing and she’s always going to be amazing. I’m just happy that people see that.
