Halle Bailey, the star of Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, opened up about her experiences and challenges in the film industry. In a recent interview, she acknowledged the vulnerabilities that come with being a young woman cast as a Disney princess. According to The Guardian, Bailey emphasized the importance of tuning out negativity and staying true to oneself in the face of public scrutiny.

Reflecting on her roles, Bailey noted that both Ariel and her character in You, Me & Tuscany, Anna, are driven by their own desires rather than solely by the pursuit of romance. She highlighted how these characters are bold and headstrong, making their journeys more meaningful.

Bailey also shared insights about her creative process, particularly how motherhood has enriched her artistry. She expressed that experiencing deep emotions has enhanced her ability to write and connect with her audience. This new perspective, she believes, has made her a better artist and mother.

The actress spoke fondly of her relationship with Beyoncé, describing her as a supportive figure akin to a cool aunt. Bailey still seeks advice from her, appreciating Beyoncé’s genuine nature and encouragement.

In addition to her current projects, Bailey expressed interest in exploring different genres, specifically horror. She mentioned that while her previous roles have been lighthearted, she is eager to take on something darker in the future.
