It was just yesterday that we were discussing how incredible it would be if Guy Fieri were to play Ursula in Disney's forthcoming live-action version of The Little Mermaid. Just yesterday! But today, we've moved on to other casting suggestions. Specifically, we've moved on to hypothetically casting Gordon Ramsay for the movie as well.
The above tweet is now going viral. As you can see, it implies the famously angry chef would be perfect for the role of Prince Eric's huffy lil chef guy Louis. Reasons he would be ideal include his (1) overall demeanor, (2) willingness to really, like, go there, (3) deep-rooted love of fine dining, and (4) ability to not care about how loud he may or may not be at any given point in time. Also, he cares a lot about shellfish, so.
And while Gordon may absolutely be the best man for this job, he hasn't yet responded to the suggestion in the way Guy did to his Ursula comparisons yesterday (see: immediately and with humor). It's very possible he just hasn't seen the supportive tweets yet, but as this one's curently at 50,000+ retweets, it's unlikely. That said, we'll keep you updated on any pressing Gordon-as-Louis updates.
In the meantime, here are more funny tweets from people who are dying to see this happen:
Anyway, actual casting news can be expected over the course of the next few weeks and months. And an angry Gordon-loving riot can be expected shortly after that assuming this all doesn't happen.
