Halle Bailey talks about her resemblance to Ariel
When asked if Halle and her character Ariel have anything in common, the actress replied, “Absolutely. I mean, I tell people all the time that I feel like Ariel really helped me find myself.” And like this young female version of me, you know, because I’m, well, five years into my life now. She added, “Going from 18 to 23, so these are transformational years.” The types are very intense as you are growing into a young woman. But I feel like especially these themes of the film and what it took for her to have her passion and drive and speak for herself, and even though it was scary, she went for it. I feel like those are the things I really try to embody and pass on to Halle. So, he definitely taught me a lot.
