Melissa McCarthy is opening up about taking on the iconic role of Ursula in the upcoming live action adaptation of The Little Mermaid.
The actress made an appearance on Good Morning America on Tuesday (April 25) where she talked about her version of the character and more.
“It was a crazy fever dream. It’s just ridiculous,” she said. “It is weirdly, it’s the movie that I have watched more, more than any other movie in the world. I was a nanny, so we watched it for like two years, every night, that’s what we wanted to watch. So I have an absolute love for the movie and for Ursula, so to get to step into those tentacles was really something.”
Melissa also opened up about singing Ursula’s song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” and following in the footsteps of the original voice actress.

The Little Mermaid‘s director Rob Marshall is looking back on Halle Bailey‘s audition for the upcoming live action movie.
The director of the underwater film recalled how the 23-year-old entertainer caught his eye during her 2019 Grammys performance with sister Chloe.
“[Producer] John DeLuca and I were watching, and I said, ‘John, who is that? She looks like an angel,’” Rob told British Vogue. “I mean, Halle’s so beautiful, but she also has an otherworldly sensibility. This was so important for a character that’s a mermaid and a teenage girl, who has to have this combination of strength, passion and courage, as well as a kind of naivety and innocence.”
He then recalled her first audition, where she sang “Part of Your World.”
