Guy Fierimay not be the most traditional choice toplay Ursulain the new live-action remake ofThe Little Mermaid, but that didn’t stop one fan from playfully suggesting that the celebrity chef might be a good fit for the role.
“okay…hear me out,” the fan captioned the post, letting the images speak for themselves.
“We got no troubles Life is the bubbles Under the sea,” hewrote.
Another fan went on to point out that Ursula wasn’t the only part Fieri would be perfect for.
Drawing attention to the chef’s latest profile picture, which shows himposing with a very large fork, the social media user pointed out the life-size prop looked a lot like a trident — a kind of spear that often appears in the hands of Ariel’s father, King Triton.
“The giant fork tells us he wants to play King Triton instead,” theytweeted.

“Yes. The original author ofThe Little Mermaidwas Danish. Ariel…is a mermaid. She lives in an underwater kingdom in international waters and can legit swim wherever she wants (even though that often upsets King Triton, absolute zaddy),” the post read. “But for the sake of argument, let’s say that Ariel, too, is Danish. Danish mermaids can be black because Danish people can be black.”
“But spoiler alert – bring it back to the top – the character of Ariel is a work of fiction,” the network continued. “So after all this is said and done, and you still cannot get past the idea that choosing the incredible, sensational, highly-talented, gorgeous Halle Bailey is anything other than the INSPIRED casting that it is because she ‘doesn’t look like the cartoon one,’ oh boy, do I have some news for you…about you.”
