Christian Navarro (13RW) Is Pissed that He Was Not Cast as Prince Eric
Just came back to say; after months of seeing every person of color they could think of for the role of Prince Eric, @DisneyStudios somehow still cast a white guy. I guess diversity is just a word. And THATS Hollywood. One brown person is enough, two brown leads is unthinkable.

13 Reasons Why's Christian Navarro revealed that was able to send audition tapes to play Prince Eric.
British actor Jonah Hauer-King has won the role of Prince Eric.
Navarro is pissed at Disney for losing the role and casting a white man instead.
For Navarro, Disney passed on the opportunity to have two brown people as leads.
Or maybe you're not good enough for the role 🤷🏽♂️ Someone needs to learn how to lose, damn. I'm taking to you, Christian Navarro 🙄 #TheLittleMermaid pic.twitter.com/t1bHVgdP4N
