Melissa McCarthy is revealing the main source of inspiration behind her performance in 'The Little Mermaid.' “There’s a drag queen that lives in me. I’m always right on the verge of going full-time with her.”
McCarthy, who plays Ursula in the upcoming film, told“There’s a drag queen that lives in me,” she said. “I’m always right on the verge of going full-time with her.”
“To keep the humor and the sadness and the edginess to Ursula is everything I want in a character — and frankly, everything I want in a drag queen,” McCarthy said. Though Disney fans will recognize Ursula as the villain of the beloved storyline, the new live-action movie is expected to take a deeper dive into the sea witch's origin story. Producer John DeLuca told EW that Ursula is the"black sheep" of the family, as she's the estranged sister of King Triton, Ariel's father.
“I had eight dancers around me, each one puppeteering a 10- or 12-foot tentacle," the comedian described to EW."I would swoop to the left and all of these dancers would come with me. Then if I’d reach out for something, one of my tentacles really would go out and bring something back.”, who plays lead mermaid Ariel in the upcoming flick.
