- Hey guys, I'm Camila Cabello, and today I'm going to let Elle Ask Me Anything. Don't forget to listen to my song, "Don't go yet", and to stream Cinderella on Amazon Prime Video. (upbeat music) My favorite thing about my home country, Cuba, is the music. The music I'm listening to has a big part of it, I listen to a lot of reggaeton, and a lot of Latin music, and that makes me feel like I'm in Cuba, and like I'm in Miami. (upbeat music) The most challenging part about playing Cinderella, were the corsets, of course, that were really tight and hard. (upbeat music) I love that she, you know, honors her inner voice and listens to her gut. What about my work? I don't want to life stuck waving from a Royal Box. I need more than a life confined to a basement. And I try to do that. (upbeat music) I'm most proud of my relationships and my friendships. (upbeat music) The best industry advice I've ever received, is that you gotta always let go of the results, and just do it for the fun of it. Because one, you can't control the results, and two, they won't make you happy. (light music) I really love anything by J Balvin. (light music) Mental health plays probably the biggest role in my life, because I think that, you know, being well, and being, you know, not necessarily like the happiest person in the world, but being okay, it's like really important. And obviously not feeling that, feels really bad. So I try to just like always prioritize that, and check in with myself, and change my life around kind of what I need at the time. And a way I practice self-care is, I try to do therapy every week. (light music) My fairy godmother in real life is my mama. (light music) The best thing I got to take home from the set of Cinderella was a lot of new and amazing friends. (light music) I grew close with a lot of the cast members, but probably if I had to say one, during filming, Nick, the prince, because we spent so much time together. It was really fun, and we became really close friends and we're still close friends. (light music) My most prized possession is always going to be like the book that I'm reading, which right now, is "Braiding Sweetgrass". (light music) I love this Argentinian artist, her name's Nathy Peluso, and she's like a singer, a rapper, and I love her. (light music) I don't know, I think that maybe just like trying to stay in the moment. (light music) A film I would have loved to have been cast in, is Harry Potter. And I would have loved to have played Harry Potter. (light music) I love the scene in Friends where Ross gets Rachel's voicemail on the phone and he finds out that she has feelings for him. - You're over me? When were you under me? (audience laughs) (light music) - Fashion has played a bigger and bigger role in my life. I think I didn't really care about it before, but now I just like think it's such a fun way to express creativity and to express yourself. I think my favorite red carpet look, maybe, hopefully it hasn't happened yet, but I really like the Grammys look for last year. (light music) If I could switch places for anybody for a day, I would switch with an animal, maybe like a lion because they get to be in nature and see other lions, but they probably won't get eaten. (light music) "Don't Go Yet" was so fun. I had all my friends and family there for two days, and it was just a blast. It was really fun. (light music) I wish that I could do an extreme, not an extreme sport, but I guess any sport. I wish I was really good at like tennis, or was good at a sport, which hopefully I will be by the end of my life. (light music) My family keeps me really grounded. My parents keep me super grounded. My friendships keeps me really grounded, and my dogs. (light music) My dream dinner guests, I would love to speak to the woman that wrote the book I'm reading. I think her name is Robin Wall Kimmerer, and it's a book about indigenous wisdom called 'Braiding Sweetgrass'. (light music) Something that people don't know about me, is that I love YouTubers, and specifically YouTubers that like, I watched this girl Hitomi Mochizuki a lot, and Isabel Paige. And they're kind of like, Isabel Paige kind of lives off the grid. And they're just very, like, very spiritual, off the grid lifestyles. (light music) The things I want to be known for, hopefully having a good sense of humor, being kind, and being caring. (light music) Last show I binge-watched was White Lotus. - I don't think you appreciate how tough things are for your brother. He is a straight, white man. Nobody has any sympathy for them right now. - I think he's going to be okay, Nicole. - Thank you, Paula. - And it was very strong. (light music) Any kind of Mexican food, like enfrijoladas, which my dad makes. It's very comfort food for me. Thanks so much for hanging out with me and Elle today.
