Melissa McCarthy says she channeled her inner drag queen to play Ursula in Disney's live-action TheLittleMermaid.
Disney’s The Little Mermaid live-action is garnering much attention from viewers. Not only has Halle Bailey mesmerized fans around the globe by embodying Ariel and displaying her singing prowess in the trailers, but she has also got an equally mesmerizing nemesis in form of Melissa McCarthy’s sea witch Ursula.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "I'm a huge, huge fan of drag shows and the whole art of it and the entertainment of it," said the actor who before acting performed in a drag persona she called Miss Y at Manhattan clubs. "I've been going to shows since I was not supposed to be going to shows. There's a drag queen that lives in me. I'm always right on the verge of going full-time with her.
"She's been put in this lair. It's like she's had too many martinis alone. Her friends are eels. That is a woman who has seen it, been in it, dug her way back out. All my references are terrible, but I kept thinking, 'Many a Pall Mall has this woman had.
"She's been isolated a long time, so it was fun to play around with which ones are her talking to her friends, which ones are her arguing with herself, and then which ones are actually intentionally outward to Ariel? The concept of that suddenly seemed really fun."
