Halle Berry hits out at backlash mistaking her for star of new Little Mermaid live action movie

As Disney has just unveiled that highly anticipated trailer for the remake of this old timely fable, one fan has confused the two actors. 

Say it with me people, HAL-LE BAI-LEY, 

They added: “This is what happens when you upset a fandom.”

Well, one way to upset the fandom is to get the lead film actor’s name wrong. Rule number one of Fight Club.

But the confusion only snowballed from there, as another tweeted: “HALLE BERRY IS ARIEL SUCK ON THAT.”

While a third person said: “Halle berry giving me chills as Ariel.”

However, this isn’t the first time the former Bond girl has had to clear things up. Back in December, a fan tweeted the 56-year-old actor: “Can't wait to see you under da sea!”

To which she responded: “… wrong Halle lol. I can’t wait to see her too though!”

Bailey, theone who is actually playing the famed Disney character, is a star in her own right.

In her short career, Bailey is already a five-time Grammy award-nominated artist and part of the music collective Chloe x Halle.

And if that weren’t impressive enough, the duo were signed to Beyonce’s record label in 2015 while still in high school.

But The Little Mermaid is not the only film in the works for Bailey, as the 22-year-old will also star as young Nettie in the remake of The Colour Purple.

We’re expecting big things for Ms Bailey.... and not Halle Berry, just to be clear. She's already hit 'legend' status in our eyes.
