Harry Styles Turns Down Role Of Prince Eric In Disney’s Live Action Little Mermaid
Harry Styles has apparently passed on playing the role of Prince Eric in Disney’s upcoming live adaptation of The Little Mermaid. News broke earlier today, August 13, that Harry had taken the role of the beloved Disney Prince, but apparently those reports were false.
According to The Wrap, “Actor-singer Harry Styles has turned down an offer to play the role of Prince Eric in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, individuals with knowledge of the project exclusively told TheWrap.” The site goes on to say that, “One of the individuals said that Styles is a fan of the project but respectfully declined.”
Harry has apparently been a front runner for many after news that Halle Bailey would be taking on the role of Ariel in the flick. However, with Harry returning to the music scene in the very near future, acting looks to be taking a step back.
