“My sister is so multitalented,” Halle gushed, “and people see how amazingly talented she is, as well as her beauty, and I’m just proud of her.”

So we know who’ll be cheering the loudest when The Little Mermaid finally comes out, though it’ll be a toss-up as to which Bailey sibling is crying more of a river: Chloe has said she teared up when she saw Halle’s screen test, knowing her little sis would be the perfect Ariel, and Halle admittedly sobbed for 20 minutes when she saw the first cut of the film.

“It’s this very weird, out-of-body thing,” Halle told E!. “I’ve never seen myself on a big screen like this. So number one, it’s weird to watch yourself. But then you’re also like, ‘Who is this girl, who’s a mermaid, who’s doing a great job—like, I did this?'”
