Halle Berry Showed Support For “The Little Mermaid’s” Halle Bailey With Two Special Posts

Halle Berry expressed double the support on social media for Halle Bailey following The Little Mermaid premiere. Despite the constant confusion between the two talented actresses, Halle Berry, an Academy Award winner, remains an big admirer of Halle Bailey’s work in the most recent Disney live-action movie.

Ever since the news broke about Halle Bailey’s selection as Ariel in the live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, her name has been constantly associated with that of Halle Berry. The uncanny resemblance in their names created quite a bit of confusion, but an intriguing outcome of this mix-up is that Halle Berry has been an unwavering champion of Bailey’s film from the very beginning, and this support continues even after its grand opening.

When Halle Bailey secured the role of Ariel in the live-action rendition, a wave of shock washed over many who were unaware of Bailey’s musical career and mistakenly believed that Halle Berry had snagged the coveted part. Berry, however, has gracefully embraced this amusing mix-up and became one of Bailey’s biggest supporters. Recently, she turned to Instagram to commemorate the film’s premiere, which had forged an unexpected bond between them, with 2 Instagram stories.

Halle Bailey has openly addressed the striking resemblance between their names and has expressed her genuine appreciation for it, emphasizing her admiration for Berry and stating that there is no one else she would rather be associated with. And it seems to be mutual, as Berry recently marked the occasion not just once, but twice, by sharing a Glamour magazine cover featuring Bailey.

Animated Disney movies have been getting live-action versions for a while now. Although they don’t please everybody who was a fan of the originals, they bring magical characters into the real world. However, a few Disney characters were actually inspired by real-life people, including Ursula from The Little Mermaid (1989). Find out who!
