Have you ever wondered whether Disney princes are just as handsome and charming in real life? These are some of the voice actors behind Disney’s most popular princes.
#1. Aladdin (Aladdin): Scott Weinger
Scott Weinger also played Steve Hale on Full House. There’s even an episode where he dresses up as Aladdin.
#2. Beast (Beauty and the Beast): Robby Benson
Robby Benson actually pretended he was in a Broadway play while doing the voice overs for the Beast so he could really get into the character.
#3. Tarzan (Tarzan): Tony Goldwyn
Tony also played President Fitz in Scandal!
#4. Prince Florian (Snow White): Harry Stockwell
This movie actually received a honorary Oscar, which was presented in the form of one normal sized statuette and seven miniature statuettes.
#5. Flynn Rider (Tangled): Zachary Levi
Zachary applied with a British accent for the initial audition and landed the role. However, the movie directors and producers decided to go with his American accent instead.
#6. Kristoff (Frozen): Jonathan Groff
This movie probably has the best disclaimer ever written, “The views and opinions expressed by Kristoff in the film that all men eat their own boogers are solely his own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers. Neither The Walt Disney Company nor the filmmakers make any representation of the accuracy of any such views and opinions.”
#7. John Smith (Pocahontas): Mel Gibson
Did you know that Pocahontas premiered in Central Park to a massive audience of over 100,000 people in attendance. There were fireworks as well.
#8. Prince Charming (Cinderella): William Phipps
The scene where Cinderella was transformed to a beautiful princess was one Walt Disney’s favorite animations.
#9. Prince Naveen (The Princess and the Frog): Bruno Campos
Bruno Campus is now working as a lawyer at a New York law firm.
#10. Simba (The Lion King): Jonathan Taylor Thomas
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight” was almost removed from the movie, until Elton John stepped in and convinced Disney to keep the song.
#11. Hercules (Hercules): Tate Donovan
Tate Donovan also plays Jimmy Cooper from the O.C.
#12. Li Shang (Mulan): BD Wong
There are rumors that the original choice for Li Shang was Bruce Willis. BD Wang also acted in the original Jurassic Park and is the only member of the original cast who will return for Jurassic World.
#13. Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty): Bill Shirley
Sleeping Beauty’s hero was actually named after Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who was also the husband of Queen Elizabeth II.
