Basically every young male’s name in Hollywood as been thrown into the ring for the coveted role of Prince Eric – after Harry Styles had the absolute GALL to turn it down – and now people are pushing for their favourite Canadian to star in live-action Little Mermaid: Shawn Mendes.

After yesterday’s kinda messy live production of The Little Mermaid on ABC, fans watched as Riverdale’s Graham Phillips played – and absolutely nailed – playing Prince Eric.
Since The Little Mermaid live went down, Shawn’s army of fans have taken to Twitter to push for him to be cast alongside Halle Bailey – who is playing Ariel – and we have to say Shawn wouldn’t be a bad eric.
Not only does Shawn look the part, but he can also sing.
As per usual, the fandom took to Twitter to call for Shawn to play Prince Eric.
Sign the man up IMMEDIATELY Disney.
Last month, former One Directioner Harry Styles revealed why he decided to disappoint the entire world and turn down the role of Prince Eric: to focus on his music.
In Harry’s Septemeber cover-story with Face Magazine, (where he opened up about being gender fluid), Harry discussed that “I want to put music out and focus on that for a while.”
Fine, we guess we’re okay with this.
He continued: “But everyone involved in it was amazing, so I think it’s going to be great. I’ll enjoy watching it, I’m sure.”
Harry Styles will be releasing his second solo album titled Fine Line on December 13!
