Bella Thorne

Bella's acting career saw a meteoric rise in the year 2008 when she got an opportunity to play Ruthey Spivey alongside Mädchen Amick and Taylor Lautner in the famous television drama ‘My Own Worst Enemy.’ She then got another big break where she played the popular CeCe Jones in ‘Shake it up’ on the Disney Channel. She came up really good with her acting and started giving voices to popular cartoon series like ‘Phineas and Ferb.’ The year 2012 saw Bella Thorne launching her first album –‘Made in Japan’ followed by a single ‘TTYLXOX’and another album and a single ‘Jersey’ and ‘Call it whatever’ respectively. She launched her first teenagers’ novel in the year 2015, which was followed by another one in the next year. She also voiced a Video Game - 'Marvel Avengers Academy.' Thus, the recent few years have seen her climb from a simple side-line actress to a popular multi-talented star.

One of the things that makes the Disney Channel so popular is that it has shows with relatable story-lines and Bella Thorne’s CeCe Jones of ‘Shake It Up’ fame is no exception. Having been diagnosed with dyslexia herself in the first grade, Bella could very realistically portray the ambitious, dyslexic dance prodigy on reel. One of the lesser known facts about Bella Thorne is that she was bullied in school, due to which she was home-schooled for a while. Drawing from her early experiences, she now often speaks out against bullying and encourages many others to do so.Her off-screen support for dyslexic kids is also inspiring.

Bella Thorne supports welfare campaigns and is involved in many philanthrophic activities along with charitable ones with different organizations like ‘DoSomething.org,' ‘TjMartell Foundation,’ and ‘Friends of El Faro.’ She has also worked to spread knowledge and awareness about dyslexia. When asked about her dyslexia, she says, "I have to work extra hard because I am dyslexic. People said that I couldn't be an actress, but I'm proving them wrong. Acting has helped me overcome the challenge.”

Bella is a supporter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Humane Society, and the Nomad Organisation, which provides the poor children in Africa with medical support, food, and education. She also sponsors a child named Lydia Kanini Kiio in Kibwezi, Kenya.
