Lizzo wants to be Ursula in The Little Mermaid remake

As we know, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is getting a live-action remake, so casting news has been flying at us from all angles.

While news about Zendaya possibly playing Ariel has elated fans, rumours about Lady Gaga being Ursula has enraged them.

I love Gaga, and also, Ursula needs to be played by the baddest fat person that Disney can find. We will accept nothing less. https://t.co/aP2DITnKR0
