Jessica Alexander was born in 1999 in England. She soon entered the art field at the age of 14 with the lead role in the short film Necktie (2013). After that, Jessica continued to pocket many other projects such as Truck (2016) or Penny on MARS (2018) on Disney Channel.

"My parents feel proud and they have supported me to get to where I am now. It's an honor to be a part of the story," she shared.

Contrary to the love of the audience, the main character in the film - Halle Bailey, as soon as it was announced as the actor playing the mermaid Ariel, immediately became the focus of discussion because her appearance was not like a white mermaid. stylish red hair once appeared in the animated version released in 1989.

However, the more controversial, the more the Mermaid live-action and the name Halle Bailey get more attention. Many people even commented that the actress born in 2000 was "the ugliest mermaid in history".

Creating the character Ariel has created a lot of controversy on social networks. The director's choice of a black actress to play the mermaid Ariel, far from the original, caused a stir. The critic commented: "Attributing a Nordic cultural character to an actor of African descent is an infringement on the culture of people of color. Because of the way people of African descent express themselves through sound. Music, love, social history are all different and unrelated to the origin and context of the mermaid character's birth."

In the animated version, the mermaid has her signature red hair, smooth, bright white skin, but in the live version, this famous character has brown hair, fluff and dark skin.
