News, \u201cWhile Harry is a fan of the project, he has respectfully declined the offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harry eventually spoke out about the role back in September, saying, \u201cI want to put music out and focus on that for a while. <\/p>\n<p>But everyone involved in it is amazing\u2026 So I think it\u2019s going to be great. I\u2019ll enjoy watching it, I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t complain too much since 1. Harry has already started to put out music with an album soon to come and 2. Have you seen this hot British dude? I\u2019m a fan. <\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re wondering where Jonah hailed from, he\u2019s recent roles include A Dog\u2019s Way Home and Little Women, so he\u2019s building up quite the resume.<\/p>\n<p>Next thing you know, Jonah will be the next Noah Centineo so you heard it here first, guys.<\/p>\n<p>Jonah will be starring alongside Halle Bailey, who secured the leading role of Ariel, Jacob Tremblay, Awkwafina, and rumors have been heavily circulating that other A-Listers, including Melissa McCarthy and Javier Bardem, will also be joining the cast.<\/p>\n<p>But back to Jonah, because duh. Before you get to wondering, I should let you know that YES, he can also sing. Oh, and we have proof.<\/p>\n<p>Yeahhhh, I could fall asleep to that every night.<\/p>\n<p>It was only after his second screen test that Jonah was selected for the role, his most recent being last weekend, so this is just added proof that news travels wicked fast in the land of Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing we ARE well aware about is that people are going to have opinions on the matter, because of course they are. <\/p>\n<p>That said, the majority of fans are living for the casting, and have already dubbed this kinda-sort-unknown Brit as their new obsession\u2026 then again I kinda don\u2019t blame them.<\/p>\n<p>Tweets are flooding in with messages, like, \u201cthinking about jonah hauer-king and his softness and bright blue eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And this one, saying, \u201cJonah-Hauer King bout to be a fine ass Prince Eric. I\u2019m here for it, stay mad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But for those who are hating, the support tweets are just as powerful. Fans are praising the fact that a not-so-well-know actor will finally get the recognition he deserves. <\/p>\n<p>One user wrote, \u201cif you\u2019re mad that jonah hauer-king is prince eric because you don\u2019t know him, you\u2019re dumb! there are tons of incredibly talented people who don\u2019t get the recognition they deserve. being well known does NOT equal being good for a part. he\u2019s gonna kill it!! also look at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well I don\u2019t know about you guys, but I\u2019m kinda sold on this decision. Plus, do we really recall a BAD decision made by Disney? <\/p>\n<p>That said, I still wanna hear all your thoughts on the new Prince Eric\u2026 do you think this role will put Jonah on the map?
