VIA COMPLEX
I can’t even imagine how I’d feel going to school and being an Oscar winner. Alex Hibbert and Jaden Piner who played Chiron and Kevin from the Oscar-winning Moonlight now get to return to their Miami middle school. These two are in 7th grade with Oscars.
Hibbert states they “got the audition from school so we thought it was gonna be like a little play, a short film or something. Just to see it go and be something as big as this, it’s just amazing.” He went on to say,
“When they first was like, Moonlight got it, we were like, yeah, nice joke but they were like serious, you guys got it, and all I remember, I jumped over this guy and he was screaming. And I was like, sorry, I just won an award!”
