"We Deserve to Have Images That Look Like Us" Halle Bailey Is "Proud" of Her Ariel Performance: "We Deserve to have Images That Look Like Us"

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 22, 2023
Halle Bailey, who plays Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" isn't just another box to tick off on her list of accomplishments, it's much more than that. With her role in the forthcoming live-action film, the 22-year-old is making history by becoming the first Black actor to appear in Ariel and the second to be named a Disney princess (Anika Noni Rose, who appeared Tiana in 2009's "The Princess and the Frog," was the first). She's very aware of the responsibilities that go along with it. "It's about time that a Black woman plays a role like this," says a woman who is merely a member of this wonderful neighborhood. Bailey says, "we should have photographs that look like us and see ourselves in the media on big screens and everything." "I'm just grateful that we're finally embarking on such large projects."

According to Kumail Nanjiani, Hollywood is now afraid of portraying non-white actors as bad guys

In Hulu's Welcome to Chippendales, Kumail Nanjiani, 44, stars as strip joint owner turned murderer Anyn 'Steve' Banerjee. "I've never had the opportunity to play a arc like this one." 'I've never been to a place like this.' Nanjiani, on the other hand, doesn't believe he'd have gotten the role if it wasn't based on a true story, as he says Hollywood is reluctant to cast non-white villains. 'I think Hollywood now, even though they're trying to be more diverse, is still weird,' he said. Many villain roles were played by people of color, including Art Malik in True Lies and Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction for years. White villains have increasingly dominated the screen, including Tom Hiddleston in Thor and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
