"Bailey was only 19 when she was cast in The Little Mermaid, thanks to what director Rob Marshall described as her otherworldly sensibility."
"I expected it, honestly, she told the Guardian. We're all human beings, so of course it's going to hurt or sting a little bit, especially remarks like those."
"She now stars in romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany, as a young cook who squats in an abandoned Tuscan villa owned by a man she barely knows."
Halle Bailey gained recognition for her role as Ariel in Disney's 2023 live-action The Little Mermaid and her contributions to music with Chloe x Halle. Despite facing backlash regarding her casting, Bailey has continued to build her film career, starring in projects like The Line and The Color Purple. She also appears in the romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany, where she plays a young cook who falls for the owner's cousin. The film is set to release in cinemas on 10 April.
