Harry Styles was one of the fan-favorite choices for the role of Prince Eric in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and director Rob Marshall has now confirmed that he did meet with the singer and actor, and he's explained why it didn't work out.
"We met with him. He was lovely. What a wonderful guy," Marshall told EW. "But at the end of the day, he really felt like he wanted to go off and do the movies that he ended up doing, which were sort of darker."
