Hollywood talent visiting the Disney theme parks isn’t anything new. The Disney Parks have a long and illustrious history of being celebrated by some of the most publicized people in the country, a tradition reaching all the way back to the opening day of the original Disneyland, where then-actor Ronald Raegan hosted ABC’s live broadcast of the historic opening on July 17th, 1955 – a full thirty years before his stint as President of the United States.
For the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971, Hollywood luminaries like Bob Hope and Julie Andrews attended the opening ceremonies, bringing the long-standing tradition of celebrity personalities visiting the parks to its Florida property as well.
With such a long history of talent having their time at the happiest place on earth shared with the masses – and the ease of sharing such a fun and exciting experience these days, with the instant simplicity of social media – it’s hardly a surprise to see more and more talent sharing highlights of their time at these legendary parks.
Iain Armitage, who plays the titular character in the hit CBS spin-off series ‘Young Sheldon,’ recently became one of the newest talents to enter into that timeless tradition, broadcasting his trip to Galaxy’s Edge via social media and showing off his superfan knowledge that would even rival that of his character’s.
With questions like “what number garbage compactor were Luke, Han, Chewie, and Leia stuck in?” Iain displays an impressive breadth of knowledge for one of modern cinema’s most beloved science fiction franchises.
Fans can stream Young Sheldon on most major streaming platforms, and check out Iain’s social media on [Instagram], [Twitter], or [TikTok].
