Terry Crews wants to be in Disney’s The Little Mermaid remake, so much so that he tweeted images of himself as Ariel’s dad, King Triton. Unfortunately, the film’s producers are going in a different direction; fortunately, that direction is Javier Bardem, who will make a meal out of lines like, “I consider myself a reasonable merman.” The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star isn’t upset that he won’t yield an underwater crown, though. He’s just happy that he “shot my shot.”
“The Triton thing is over. I mean, Javier Bardem – what can I say He’s the man,” Crews told Black Hollywood Live during San Diego Comic-Con. “It’s just like running for president. It doesn’t hurt you! No one’s looking at you like you went for it and didn’t get it! Listen, I went for it. I shot my shot.” He sure did.
