Would you wrather have your mom date your principal or take her as a date to your school dance? Would you wrather eat a disgusting mixture of old leftovers or take a bath in it?
Those are some of the classic, age-old questions that Coop and Cami ask all of their “Wratherheads” on Disney Channel’s new series Coop & Cami Ask The World. Premiering on Friday, October 12, at 8 p.m. EDT, the show follows siblings Cooper and Cameron (Cami) Wrather, portrayed by Dakota Lotus and Ruby Rose Turner, respectively, as they entertain their fans online through their various “Would You Wrather” dilemmas.
The Wrathers are a heartwarming family of five, something star Ruby Rose Turner can relate to. “It’s actually kind of crazy because I am one of four and so is Cami,” she says, adding, “Olivia (Sanabia) and Dakota (Lotus) are each also one of four.”
Although Ruby may be familiar with the fun, and sometimes hectic life with three siblings, she is also no stranger to the spotlight. While Coop and Cami interact with their fans daily by asking them to answer “Would You Wrather” questions, Ruby is already known by Disney fans for being light on her feet. She has appeared twice on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and was even able to catch a recent taping of Dancing with the Stars: Juniors!
But her love for Disney (and dance) stretches beyond the ballroom all the way to one of her favorite shows: Shake It Up. “I love to dance,” she gushes, “so I could relate to [CeCe and Rocky]. I’d come home, and I would literally learn all of the dances they would do!” Ruby’s excitement for all things Disney is only matched by her love for her fellow cast members, as she says, “We’ve grown so close together since the pilot. We’re a big old family now.”
Newcomer Dakota Lotus stars as Cami’s brother Cooper, co-host of his successful web series. Olivia Sanabia portrays Charlotte, the twins’ older sister, who would really wrather just stay out of the spotlight (though she’s often caught in embarrassing situations while they’re streaming). Paxton Booth stars as Ollie, Coop and Cami’s younger brother, who is usually much more thrilled to join in on the antics. And we can’t forget their biggest fan, their mom, portrayed by Rebecca Metz.
As the self-proclaimed “biggest Disney fan,” Ruby Rose is overjoyed to see Coop & Cami enter the world. “I’m a big lover of Disney Channel,” she says. “And I’m so happy to be a part of the Disney family now.”
Ruby is so excited to see Coop & Cami officially “ask the world” when it premieres on Friday, October 12, at 8:30 p.m. on Disney Channel, and she hopes that Disney fans will enjoy the show and “just laugh when they watch it.”
