Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter demonstrated her unwavering loyalty to former Girl Meets World costar and best friend Corey Fogelmanis by discreetly attending the premiere of his powerful new film, I Wish You All the Best, rekindling beloved Disney memories for fans.
In a heartwarming display of enduring friendship, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter made a special, unannounced appearance at the New York City premiere of her former Girl Meets World costar and best friend Corey Fogelmanis’ new movie, I Wish You All the Best. This touching reunion on Monday, October 27, 2025, resonated deeply with fans who have followed their bond since their Disney Channel days.
A Discreet Yet Powerful Show of Support
Carpenter, 26, known for her sold-out “Short N’ Sweet Tour” shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, took time between performances to support Fogelmanis, also 26. According to reporting by Page Six, she bypassed the red carpet, opting instead to slip quietly through a back entrance moments before the screening. She then took her seat beside Fogelmanis to watch the film.
After the movie’s conclusion, Carpenter donned a hat and glasses to discreetly exit, maintaining a low profile despite her soaring international fame. Her presence spoke volumes, emphasizing that some friendships truly never fade, no matter the scale of stardom.
Corey Fogelmanis on Sabrina: “Fast Times” Forever
Fogelmanis, visibly touched by Carpenter’s gesture, shared his admiration during an exclusive interview at the New York premiere held at IPIC Theater and Club Bohemia at Gitano.
“I have always been so amazed by how she conducts herself, and to see her finally have the resources to do exactly what she wants is just amazing,” Fogelmanis told Us Weekly. “I’m just so proud of her, and I love everything she does. And you know, I will be at every show until the day I die. ‘Fast Times’ forever.” The “Fast Times” shout-out is a nod to a fan-favorite song by Carpenter.
He further revealed his support for Carpenter’s music, mentioning that he attended the Sunday, October 26, date of her tour with his mom, calling the experience “so amazing.”
The Enduring Legacy of “Girl Meets World”
Carpenter and Fogelmanis captivated audiences as Maya Hart and Farkle Minkus on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World, a beloved spinoff of the ’90s sitcom Boy Meets World. Their on-screen chemistry and off-screen bond developed during the show’s run from 2014 to 2017. Their friendship has remained strong, delighting a dedicated fanbase that continues to follow their careers.
This isn’t their first recent reunion. In June, the duo further delighted fans by posting a viral TikTok video of them dancing to Carpenter’s hit song “Manchild” from her latest album, Man’s Best Friend, showcasing their playful and close relationship.
“I Wish You All the Best”: A Powerful Story of Identity and Support
Fogelmanis’ latest project, I Wish You All the Best, is the directorial debut of Tommy Dorfman, known for her work on 13 Reasons Why. In the film, Fogelmanis delivers a powerful performance as Ben, a nonbinary teenager who is forced to navigate a new life after being kicked out of their parents’ house. Ben moves in with their sister, portrayed by Alexandra Daddario, and her husband, played by Cole Sprouse.
Dorfman’s film aims to entertain while inspiring empathy. As Fogelmanis explained, “I hope, first and foremost, that people are entertained, but I really hope they walk away inspired to be there for someone in their life, because it’s the only reason that Ben makes it out the way they do.” He added, “This story has so many different versions out in the real world, and the version that Tommy has decided to tell is very much like a positive fantasy in a way.”
The film’s message extends beyond the screen. “That definitely happens in the real world, but only when you have that support system. … So just give people some grace and some understanding and you’ll save some lives,” Fogelmanis emphasized.
A Diverse and Talented Cast Brings Ben’s Journey to Life
The cast of I Wish You All the Best features a talented ensemble, including Lena Dunham in a hilarious turn as quirky art teacher Ms. Lyons, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, 27, as the charismatic Nathan, and Lexi Underwood and Lisa Yamada as Ben’s friends Meleika and Sophie.
Gutierrez-Riley spoke about the film’s unique impact, highlighting its tender portrayal of self-expression. “I haven’t seen many movies where a nonbinary protagonist is featured so complexly, so delicately, so it’s a unique story, but in [that], we find the universal in the specific,” he explained. “I think no matter who you are, no matter if you’re nonbinary, trans, queer, whoever you are, watching a journey of self expression and self actualization portrayed so tenderly with so much heart, I think of course you’ll be able to find something to relate to.”
