The Black Panther star began to praise Bailey and her performance in the Disney live-action remake.

“If you had done it and you were bad, nobody would be messing … But you killed it!”

She took a brief pause as she held back tears, then continued, 

“I didn’t think I’d see us. And not only was it us, it was so you. You brought you and then you brought us in bringing you.”

Bathe added,

“It was unspeakable joy for me.”
