Halle Bailey said that “a lot of the time it can be scary and intimidating” to speak up and advocate for herself when in professional working environments — but she was able to overcome those feelings on set with the help of co-star Melissa McCarthy
While Bailey is known for her velvety vocals as one half of sister singing duo Chloe x Halle, the star of Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” told CNN in an interview that “a lot of the time it can be scary and intimidating” to speak up and advocate for herself when in professional working environments.
Bailey said that it was “really cool” to watch McCarthy “come onto set and be just so comfortable with who she was in her skin and her standing up for herself.” McCarthy’s advice came in handy for Bailey in moments when she needed the confidence to speak up about needing a break, or to have some space to “clear head.” The 2023 live-action “Mermaid” movie is loosely based on of the original 1989 animated classic.
