Halle Bailey has opened up about the pressures of playing a Disney princess as a person of color. The singer and actor star as Ariel in a new version of The Little Mermaid and has been fending off trolls since her casting was announced in 2019.
“I want the little girl in me and the little girls just like me who are watching to know that they’re special and that they should be a princess in every single way,” Bailey tells Variety. “There’s no reason that they shouldn’t be. That reassurance was something that I needed.”
Though the 1989 cartoon was still a childhood favorite of the Grown-ish actor, her current experiences with The Little Mermaid have caused her to focus on the significance of media representation. But she knows “What that would have done for me, how that would have changed my confidence, my belief in myself, everything,” Bailey shares. “Things that seem so small to everyone else, it’s so big to us.”
