In a touching Instagram post, Sofia Carson has shared a deeply personal moment with fans while celebrating a major milestone for her Netflix film “The Life List.” The actress revealed that the film has maintained its position as the number one movie worldwide for an entire month, a remarkable achievement that clearly means the world to her.
A Special Moment Captured
The post features a black and white image that Sofia describes as being “captured the day my Alex Rose was born” – referring to the moment she first embodied her character in the film. The intimate photo represents the beginning of what has clearly become a transformative journey for the actress.
In her heartfelt caption, Carson addresses both her character and her audience: “Thank you for taking me on the journey of a lifetime, my dearest Alex. To every heart that has watched our film- Thank you. Thank you for seeing her. And for feeling seen in her.”
Film’s Global Success
“The Life List” has clearly resonated with viewers worldwide, maintaining its top position on Netflix for four consecutive weeks. This achievement is particularly meaningful for Carson, who has been regularly updating fans about the film’s success.
In a previous post just days earlier, she expressed similar gratitude, writing, “Our movie is the #1 movie in the whole wide world for 3 weeks. And my heart will never have the words to thank you.” She went on to thank viewers “for opening your hearts to our film and holding it close” and “for loving my Alex Rose as deeply as I loved living in her beautiful kaleidoscope.”
The Character’s Impact
Sofia’s connection to her character Alex Rose appears profound, with the actress frequently referring to the role in deeply personal terms. In another recent post, she simply stated, “My Alex Rose, I love you so,” suggesting the character has become an important part of her identity as an artist.
In her latest tribute, Carson included a quote that seems to encapsulate the film’s message: “Life is beautiful, and messy, and complicated. And sometimes it doesn’t look the way you think it’s supposed to look and that is okay… Keep going.”
She concludes with an encouraging message to her followers: “To all of us who are still figuring life out, here’s to putting our rose colored glasses on. And keep going.”
Behind The Scenes Connections
The film also features Kyle Allen as Sofia’s co-star, whom she tagged in a previous post with the caption: “The moment it all began… Hold on tight, my Alex. You’re going to be just fine.” This suggests a strong professional relationship between the cast members who brought this story to life.
Fans have been responding enthusiastically to Carson’s updates about the film, with many expressing how deeply the story and characters have affected them. In one post, she wrote, “Fact: The Life List is still the #1 MOVIE in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. Truth: My heart is YOURS. (And also fact: Alex & Brad 4 ever.),” referring to the film’s central relationship.
Sofia Carson’s Career Journey
This success represents another milestone in Sofia Carson’s evolving career. Born Sofia Daccarett Char in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the 31-year-old actress first gained prominence through her roles in Disney Channel projects, including the “Descendants” franchise where she played Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen.
Beyond acting, Carson has established herself as a recording artist and has been appointed as the first U.S. Ambassador for UNICEF. Her multilingual abilities (she speaks English, Spanish, and French) and her studies at UCLA have helped shape her diverse career path.
With “The Life List,” Carson seems to have found a role that particularly resonates with her artistic sensibilities. The film’s success and her emotional connection to the character suggest this project may represent a significant evolution in her career.
As Sofia continues celebrating this achievement, her gratitude to fans remains evident. “I love you with every bit of my heart. Always, Your Sofia,” she concludes, signing off with the same warmth and openness that has endeared her to fans throughout her career.
The success of “The Life List” adds another significant achievement to Carson’s growing filmography, which includes roles in “Feel the Beat,” “Songbird,” and “Purple Hearts” – the latter of which she also executive produced and created original music for.
