Once again, Guy Fieri has proved he's pretty much down for anything. Sure, his proposal to get in the studio with Lil Nas X never really materialized, but the mayor of Flavortown might be moving on to bigger and better things. What could possibly better than Lil Nas X, you ask? How about starring in a new live-action version of The Little Mermaid?
That's right. Disney's upcoming project is about to be bomb (as evidenced by who they chose to lead the show), and according to People, Guy Fieri is trying to get in on the action, all thanks to a few creative Disney fans.
Last week, @domcorona took to Twitter to propose the Food Network star play none other than...Ursula. You see the resemblance, right? He's already got the hair and purple is obviously his color.
Within a day of the original tweet, Fieri (seemingly) got on board. His response to the fan excitement was, of course, on point.
I c o n i c.
Now, we know he might not actually be Disney's go-to for the spot, but I'm telling you, the man is ready to take on this role. Give him a chance, Disney!
That said, if you've already found your Ursula (it sounds like Melissa McCarthy is being considered), know that Guy is a very versatile actor. As one fan pointed out, Fieri's latest profile picture suggests that Triton might also suit him well.
While we totally agree, it should be noted that the "giant fork" is actually called a "dinglehopper," (thanks @xfsista) which will be very important for Guy to know when he heads to his audition. Just saying.
