The Little Mermaid: This Bridgerton star is in a movie and you really missed her

In the new version of The Little Mermaid, signed by Rob Marshall and produced in live action, Halle Bailey portrays the title role, Ariel. The actress, first known for her talent as a singer, takes her first steps on the screen.

A beautiful cast surrounds him – Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy to name a few – but also another familiar face, not at all easy to spot.

The film features the heroine’s six sisters, and one of them is played by Simone Ashley, who was revealed by season 2 of The Bridgerton Chronicle on Netflix as Kate. She plays Princess Indira in the Disney blockbuster. You don’t have to blink to see it.

The actor appears very briefly and barely utters a dialogue. She is often hidden by her playing partners. This deceptive appearance is surprising, given Simone Ashley’s popularity among young audiences. A direct result of cutting during editing? It is very likely that Ariel’s sisters had a much larger role in the extended version of the film.

The Brit will soon find Kate Sharma as her character for the third season of The Bridgerton Chronicle, which is expected to hit Netflix in early 2024.

The Little Mermaid, currently in theaters.
