The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey reveals the sweet advice Beyoncé gave her after she signed to the singer’s management company
The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey has expressed her gratitude to Beyoncé for mentoring her at the beginning of her showbusiness career.
The rising actress, 23, who signed to Beyoncé’s management company in 2018, said the superstar’s guidance meant the world to her when she was starting out.
‘I think with Beyoncé, you really learn by watching her, and the example of the human being she is,’ she told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday.
‘Seeing how hard she works and how kind she is. She’s one of those people who is very humble and doesn’t like to say, “do this!”. It’s very much – “I’m proud of you, spread your wings and fly”.’
Halle said she loved playing Ariel in the Disney movie, as her mermaid character embarks on a journey of growth similar to her own.
