Fun Facts:
1. Lilo would love to become a better surfer.
"I started it in Bali (Indonesia) when we were on vacation a few years ago and I really want to get better at it. That's why I started taking surf lessons here in L.A.. It's so much fun riding the waves in the ocean."

2. She relates to Moana more than any other Disney character.
"She is adventurous, fun and compassionate. She stands up for herself, her family and friends—all attributes I can relate to. What I love most about Moana is that she does not listen to naysayers and just follows her passion. I have also followed my passion since I was 4 years old. I started performing when I was young and soon also started to act. No matter what other people tell me, I will continue on my path. Fun Fact: Moana sings my long time favourite song 'How Far I'll Go' in the movie. I performed it so many times and I even got to perform it in the TV show The Voice Kids Germany."

3. She loves her mom's homemade dish, Wienerschnitzel.
"I'm Austrian but grew up in Singapore so I never got to experience living in Austria. My parents grew up in Austria and made sure that we never lost touch with where we are from. My mom would make Wienerschnitzel with potatoes for us every few weeks. It was always my favourite dish as it also 'broadcasts' my nationality. My grandma would come visit all the time and would also make many Austrian dishes, like apple strudel, that I just loved."

4. Her brother and sister make her laugh more than anyone else.
"My brother is 13 years old and so we have a lot to connect and laugh about. My sister is 9 years old and everything she does is just hilarious—the way she says things and does them. They both like to laugh a lot and I always find myself laughing 24/7 with them."

5. The movie Wonder had a big impact on her life.
"The movie is about a young boy Auggie Pullman, played by Jacob Trembley, who was born with facial differences. It had such a clear message, to spread kindness and seeing people for who they are and not what they look like. This is something I live by, too. I teared quite a bit during the movie as it touched me deeply."

6. Her best fan encounter was when she was the lead on the TV show Ollie and Friends.
"We went to a film festival and performed songs and dances from the TV show and had interviews and picture sessions. There was one particular fan who came every single day. She gave me a poster that had my character's name on it with my real name decorated—it was so sweet. She also gave me a few presents like little bracelets. I did not expect that at all. We talked for a while and it was a very memorable experience."
