Adorable Johanna Colón, who rocketed to viral fame at age 6 on the heels of a comically exuberant dance performance back in 2015 that has clocked some 80 million YouTube views to date, is parlaying her moment in the sun into a full-fledged acting career.
Colón, who sassed her way through Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” at the tender age of six, has joined the Amazon Studios feature Troupe Zero -- starring Hollywood heavyweights like Viola Davis, Allison Janney, Jim Gaffigan, Mike Epps, and Mckenna Grace. While no details about the plot of the film have been released, per Deadline, Troupe Zero is being directed by Bert & Bertie (YouTube's Dance Camp) from a script by Lucy Alibar (Beasts Of The Southern Wild). Fences producer Todd Black will produce the film for Amazon.
