Many people thought it was Berry and not Bailey because their names are fairly similar.

Halle Berry sent her congrats on Twitter.

In case you needed a reminder… Halles get it DONE. Congratulations @chloexhalle on this amazing opportunity, we can’t wait to see what you do! #TheLittleMermaid #HalleBailey pic.twitter.com/z0Rik2nxRe
