From the day that Halle Bailey’s casting as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid was announced, she has had her star linked to that of Oscar winner Halle Berry. The similarities in their names led to more than a little confusion, but one of the results is that Halle Berry has been supporting Bailey’s movie since day one, and that hasn’t stopped since it opened.
There were a lot of very confused people a few years ago when it was revealed that Halle Bailey had been cast as the live-action Ariel and people, who did not know Bailey from her music career, believed that Halle Berry had been cast in the role. Berry has had fun with the confusion ever since, but she’s also become Bailey’s number-one cheerleader. She took to Instagram to celebrate the opening of the movie that linked them together.
