I am beyond excited to be joined on this week’s episode by Joey King, not only because I have wanted her on the podcast for the longest time but she is now starring in one of the most on-brand Reign movies of all time… The Princess!

The Princess, which is out on Disney+ and Hulu, follows a medieval princess who refuses to marry her evil suitor (played by Dominic Cooper), a hot but complex chap who is determined to take her father’s throne. But when she’s locked up in a tower they soon realize they have taken on the wrong royal - this princess can fight! She’s the badass princess we have always needed and kicks her enemies and sexim in the balls at the same time. The definition of YASSS QUEEN!

You’ll probably remember Joey from her breakout role as Elle in the mega Netflix trilogy, The Kissing Booth opposite Jacob Elordi - who wasn’t obsessed with those movies? And you may also remember her from the true crime TV show, The Act where she played Gypsy, a girl trying to escape her overprotective mother (played by Patricia Arquette). The role made Joey an Emmy and Golden Globe nominee. As if we needed more proof that this girl has serious RANGE!

Next up Joey will be starring alongside Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock in another high action blockbuster, Bullet Train, a role Joey landed on her 21st Birthday. There’ss a funny story about that coming up in this episode - prepare yourselves!

Elsewhere in this episode Joey talks about her rollercoaster with confidence, reflects on her relationship with body image and calls out the sexist double standards between male and female actors, which she has experienced herself.

I loved Joey’s honesty, she does not hold back! And I know you are going to take so much away from this chat. I also hope you keep on listening and finding the power to Reign in your own lives. If you love this episode, please get in touch (follow me across social media @joshsmithhosts), I love hearing from you. Love, Josh xxx
