TheLittleMermaid star Halle Bailey opens up about why she was shocked when she was cast as Ariel: 'My image of Ariel that I’ve had is the red hair, the pale skin and the tail, and she was amazing to me.'
The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey opens up about why she was shocked when she was cast as Ariel. Following Disney's other live-action adaptations like The Lion King and Mulan, the Mouse House is turning its sights on another animated classic. Set to premiere in May 2023, The Little Mermaid will offer a live-action spin on the beloved 1989 film. Bailey stars as Ariel, the young mermaid who dreams of life up on land among the humans.
“Getting that role felt very surreal. It was much of a shocker for me. Even when I was asked to audition, I looked at it and I was like, ‘Me? For Ariel?' My image of Ariel that I’ve had is the red hair, the pale skin and the tail, and she was amazing to me. I loved her, like we all did. But that’s what I’ve seen her as for so long.”
