Why Harry Styles Turned Down The Role Of Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid #shorts 

Rob Marshall, Director of the new 2023 live action The Little Mermaid, has revealed that he did have a conversation with singer, Harry Styles about taking the part of Prince Eric in the upcoming film, but ultimately it was Harry who turned down the role.
'We met with him, He was lovely, What a wonderful guy,' Marshall told Entertainment Weekly in an interview about the Watermelon Sugar singer. 'But at the end of the day, he really felt like he wanted to go off and do the movies that he ended up doing, which were sort of darker.'
'That’s why he was really looking to do something not in the musical genre, to really stretch himself,' Marshall added. 'It was really a fun idea to play with, but in the end, I always think things happen for a reason. I’m so happy to have two young, new people in the film.'
The role of Prince Eric ultimately went to British actor Jonah Hauer-King, whom Marshall was impressed by during his audition process.
