Halle Bailey Latest News, Photos, and Videos

It’s official – The Little Mermaid cast has been confirmed!

Up until now, the only confirmed stars were Halle Bailey starring as Ariel, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric.

Now, Disney has officially solidified that Jacob Tremblay has taken on the role of Flounder, Melissa McCarthy will play Ursula, Awkwafina as Scuttle, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian and Javier Bardem as King Triton.

The live action remake of the movie will feature original music from the animated version from Alan Menken, as well new music by Alan and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

“Halle Bailey is going to be such an incredible Ariel,” Lin-Manuel told ET back in July. “And getting to write music for these characters that are probably the reason I started writing musicals in the first place, it was actually easier than I thought.”

No release date has been set yet, but given that they had to shut down production earlier this year due to Coronavirus, we may not see it until 2022.

Halle Bailey is dishing on doing projects without her sister Chloe!

The sister duo opened up in their new Cosmopolitan cover interview.

“Whenever we’re apart, I feel like my right arm is missing,” Halle said. “I say this all the time: I’m not sure what I would do if I was by myself going through this whole thing.”

“You are so nice!” Chloe responded.

“But it’s true. Whenever individual opportunities come, it’s exciting because when one of us wins, the other one does too,” Halle added.

Speaking about individual projects, Chloe actually went to stay with Halle in London for a little bit to “help ease her younger sister into being away from home” while she worked on The Little Mermaid. Unfortunately, production got shut down right before filming started due to the pandemic.

Halle dished that having her sister’s support really helped her confidence in doing such a big project.
