Moana Star Catherine Lagaʻaia Demands Real Ocean Move to Hollywood Soundstage Immediately
The breakout teen insists the Pacific Ocean is 'too flaky' and prefers a pool filled with premium imported sparkling mineral water.

Nineteen-year-old Catherine Lagaʻaia is officially taking the 'live-action' part of her new gig way too literally. Sources say the Sydney teen has already sent a list of demands to Disney brass that would make a literal sea goddess blush. Apparently, filming on a beach is 'so 2016,' and Catherine is insisting that the actual Pacific Ocean be drained and relocated to a climate-controlled studio in Burbank because the real salt water Ruins. Her. Highlights.
Word on the street is that Catherine won't even look at a coconut unless it’s been hand-polished by a certified gemologist. She’s reportedly refusing to row her own canoe, demanding a hidden outboard motor and a GPS system that only points toward the nearest Pilates studio. If the water isn't exactly 82 degrees and scented with organic vanilla bean, our girl is staying in her trailer with her emotional support crab.
Insiders claim she’s also trying to coordinate a complete wardrobe overhaul for the entire ocean. She allegedly asked if the coral reef could be repainted in 'Millennial Pink' and requested that the local fish wear tiny designer sunglasses to match her aesthetic. Honestly, we respect the hustle. Why be a princess when you can be a total logistical nightmare? Shine on, Catherine, you gorgeous tidal wave of drama!
