While most of the focus surrounding the casting of the live action adaptation of "The Little Mermaid" is on lead Halle Bailey, there was just as much interest in who was going to get the role of Prince Eric. While the character is actually a fairly small role in the animated classic, there was an indication he was going to be much bigger as Harry Styles was apparently offered the role.

While Prince Eric is now set to be players by Jonah Hauer-King, Styles fans are now remembering that the singer nearly became part of "The Little Mermaid" because in his newest music video, for the song “Music For A Sushi Restaurant,” Style actually becomes, well, not a mermaid, but something related.
