Halle Bailey Shares a First Glimpse of Herself as Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid'
That's a wrap for The Little Mermaid.
Halle Bailey, star of the upcoming live-action version of the classic Disney film, took to Instagram today to announce that filming has officially been completed for the anticipated adaptation. She also shared a glimpse of herself in character as Princess Ariel for the first time. In the photo posted to the platform, Bailey appears to be wearing a mermaid tail and a sweetheart bandeau top as she poses in the ocean with the sun setting behind her.
"And just like that..that's a wrap ❤️after auditioning for this film when i was 18 just about to turn 19 , to now finishing filming through a pandemic when i turned 21 ..we have finally made it...💖," Bailey wrote. "I feel so grateful to have experienced this film in all of its glory..it has been the toughest experience being away from everything and everyone i've ever known, to feeling self doubt/ loneliness, but also feeling such freedom and perseverance as i've reached the end. this experience has made me so much stronger than i ever thought i could be."
Bailey went on to thank her fellow costars, such as Jonah Hauer King (Prince Eric), Javier Bardem (King Triton), Melissa McCarthy (Ursula), Awkwafina (Scuttle), and more for helping form such a memorable filming experience.
"I'm so grateful to have such lovely and talented people in the cast like @jonahhauerking that will be my friend for infinite lifetimes, @jacobtremblay who i'm so proud of and legends like @bardemantarctic @melissamccarthy @awkwafina @daveeddiggs who are masters of their craft but are so welcoming and open to little old me," Bailey continued. "As well as to the rest of the beautiful cast and crew. i cannot wait for time to speed up so you all can watch this film because it was made with so much love (plus blood sweat and tears) lol thank you sardinia for a wonderful ending!!! xoxo"
