Chad Charming

**Chad Charming** is the secondary antagonist in the Disney Channel movie *Descendants*, played by Jedidiah Goodacre. He is the son of Queen Cinderella and King Charming.

He’s an all-star player on the school’s tourney team (the prep school’s choice sport), and uses his charm and good looks to try and get what he wants. He begins dating Princess Audrey, Aurora's daughter, after Prince Ben declares his love for Mal.

Despite being labeled as a "hero," he is a spoiled bully, as evidenced by him manipulating Evie's crush on him into getting her to do his homework. During the Family Day event, he gangs up on Ben and the villain kids after Queen Leah, Audrey's grandmother, blames Mal for what happened to her family based simply on her resemblance to Maleficent. At the end of the movie, he is seen dancing with Lonnie.

According to Doug, "Chad inherited the charm, but not a lot of there *there*.", implying that Chad is dense. This would explain why he manipulated Evie into doing his homework and had trouble remembering where his cellphone was.

## Background

From what we see on School of Secrets, he seems to be a player and is also a "Jock".

He can be considered underhanded and close-minded as seen in the movie. This is seen when he tricks Evie and gets her mirror confiscated for cheating and when he antagonizes the villain kids during Family Day. He is an arrogant jerk and a bully. He may have been raised by his good parents, but in the school, he is a bigger villain than Evie, Mal, Jay, and Carlos. Though Evie is portrayed to be a big flirt and a heart-breaker, Chad is shown to be even more so.

As he revealed his true nature when taunting Mal and the other villain kids, it is seen he was manipulating Evie by making her do his homework for him. He also manipulated other girls before Evie came to Auradon. He also proves to be a coward, when Maleficent appears in the climax, as he has thrown Audrey aside with her arm out in front of him and rushes towards Doug hugging him tightly. When the Villain Kids first came to Auradon, he follows the belief of "Once a villain, always a villain", to the point of wanting to frame them and get rid of them.

He is shown by the magic mirror to be the biggest jerk in the land, however, he is nowhere near as dangerous as Maleficent.

In the sequel, he is on decent terms with the VKs despite being a nuisance to Carlos and Jay. While no longer being arrogant he is still very misogynistic and doesn't seem to value Ben's life at all. Despite this however, he does appear kinder since he does go out of his way to help Audrey after her vehicle broke down despite her being 6 hours away from him.

In Descendants 3, he joins Audrey after she steals Fairy Godmother's wand. Despite his attempts to pacify her with salads and shopping, he is locked in the closet in the abandoned Fairy Cottage until Ben releases him. He later attends the royal engagement party and applauds when Mal breaks the barrier over the Isle of the Lost.
