13 Reasons Why's Christian Navarro Lands Audition for Little Mermaid's Prince Eric

Christian Navarro, who plays Tony on 13 Reasons Why, got Disney’s attention and was able to send audition tapes in to play Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid.

Back when everyone found out that Harry Styles had passed on the role of Prince Eric, Christian tweeted out, “So I heard Harry Styles passed on Prince Eric, well…I can sing. Black Ariel/Latino Prince…no ones called but Season 3 drops next week and I think it’s one hell of an audition.”

Well, on Tuesday (September 3), Christian posted an update, writing, “Idk what happened to the other tweet. But! @disney saw this, saw your support, and gave my team a call. They wanted to see what I could do. Tapes sent. Fingers crossed. Let’s make some history.”

Chloe x Halle‘s Halle Bailey is set to take on the role of Ariel in the live action movie.
