Makeup Artist For 'Little Mermaid' Live-Action Remake Fires Back At Criticism Over Look For Melissa McCarthy's Ursula

Peter Swords King designed the makeup for Melissa McCarthy as Ursula in the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.
Fans argued that an LGBTQ makeup artist or drag performer should have designed the look.
King disagreed with the criticism and said the design wasn't based on Divine or drag acts.
King said representation shouldn't determine who gets a job.
The controversy reminds some of actor Richard Dreyfuss's recent comments criticizing Oscar diversity rules.
