Halle Bailey on life after The Little Mermaid: 'I learnt how to block out the noise'
"Bailey was 13 when she and her sister Chloe were signed to Beyoncé's music label; 17 when they released their debut album The Kids Are Alright as Chloe x Halle; and 18 when that album earned two Grammy nominations."
"This is the first time where I am playing a grown version of myself. This feels like the first time where I'm stepping into my womanhood."
"Bailey recalls being six years old and getting chills the first time she listened to Billie Holiday's Lady in Satin. An old soul indeed; a more spiritual person might say she's on her fifth life."
Halle Bailey, at 26, reflects on her life experiences, having achieved significant milestones early in her career, including Grammy nominations and a major film role. Despite facing challenges, such as backlash over her casting as Ariel, she carries herself with maturity. Bailey describes her new film, You, Me & Tuscany, as a reflection of her womanhood, marking a transition into adulthood. The film is a lighthearted romcom set in Italy, showcasing her growth and personal journey.
