Disneyland Paris is hiring 50 people to play princes and princesses

We all probably known someone who can act like a bit of a prince or princess but with this opportunity their actions could become a reality.

Disney is looking for 50 character actors to play some of the company's most famous names at Disneyland Paris, the home of pure magic, for a minimum of three months, starting between June and September 2019.

The destination, alongside its American counterparts, continue to be flooded by visitors with the hope of fulfilling life-long dreams of meeting their favourite Disney characters as well as hitting a ride or two.

But instead of being just another visitor, you could be in on all the behind-the-scene action by working there.

If a Disney prince or princess doesn't sound like it's for you, there's also openings for Marvel superheroes.

According the website job description,  the successful employee will need to portray the world famous characters in meet and greets and appear at Disneyland's famous parades and cavalcades which have brought the park to life for decades bringing kids - and big kids - together for a show stopping moment on every visit.

However, there are some strict requirements.

Actors with 'distinguishing characteristics' are needed to participate as well as having a basic level of dance.

They also ask that females measure between 160cm-173cm (that's just over 5ft2 and under 5ft7) and that men are at least 160cm and no taller than around 6ft (183cm) with both required to have 'no visual tattoos'.

Extra auditions will take place at 11:45am for those who measure between 137cm-160cm, and taller talent between 183cm-196cm.

All of those wishing to take part must be 18 years old and must speak English or French.
