What You Don't Know About Faly Rakotohavana Of Disney Plus Secret Society Of Second Born Royals


Congratulations on starring in Disney Plus' " Secret Society of Second Born Royals" , first tell us how did it feel to be "royalty" and about the filming experience with your castmates?

Faly: I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that people are calling me royalty! It’s such a blessing, and I am super grateful to have been given the opportunity. The cast was amazing, and all of us had a great time. We explored so much of Toronto and always had a great time on set.

Your superpower was revealed to the public as controlling insects. We noticed out of the 'Royals', your character name [Matteo] coincides with your superpower, as well as your birthplace: Madagascar. Matteo meaning 'Gift of God' and Madagascar is known for the world's most unique wildlife. Is all this information a coincidence or was it planned this way? It seems this role was truly meant for you.

Faly: As much as I would love to say that it was planned, it was coincidental. I didn’t know that the name Matteo had a Malagasy meaning, which is cool. I worked very hard on the role, and I am super excited for everyone to see it. I hope everyone loves Matteo as much as I do.

Is it too early to find out if there will be a sequel?

Faly: Due to the current climate, it's too early to disclose that information.

How would you describe your everyday look/style? Any style obsessions?

Faly: I have a casual style. This summer, I mainly wore tank tops and jeans. No matter how warm the temperature gets, I will never wear shorts! I have an obsession with sneakers. I’m always buying new vans or anything Nike (preferably Airforces)

Your hair is a staple natural look for you, do you have a hair maintenance regimen, and which products do you use for upkeep?

Faly: I use a product called Mixed Chicks! It’s great for my hair, and it just feels nice in general. I usually don’t put much product in my hair, It does its own thing.

Let’s dig into your music taste, who are your favorite artists?

Faly: My favorite artist is Lauv and always will be. Also, I listen to a lot of Rex Orange County. I attended Rex’s concert last January. Out of the two artists, I probably listen to Lauv the most, but I still love both of them.

Name one thing, people would be surprised to know about you?

Faly: I enjoy playing the violin. I'm no prodigy or young genius, but the violin is one of my favorite instruments to play.

Some say we all have a "super power", let's take the best thing you feel you can do (besides acting), and turn it into a power. What would that super-talent be?

Faly: Super-metabolism. I can eat for hours and hours and somehow never gain weight. That’s a pretty insane talent if you ask me.

Have you thought about a ‘Dream Project’ yet? Who would you like to work with or dream role?

Faly: I would love to be in a dark thriller like Donnie Darko or Nightcrawler. I would like to work with Bill Skarsgard or Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal is amazing; I would love the opportunity to work with him in a thriller that would be insanity!
