Halle Bailey’s feature film debut in The Little Mermaid was one of the biggest moments for Black women in the industry in recent memory. The Atlanta native did an incredible job channelling Ariel for her first big role, and even navigated her way through racist criticism with tact and grace throughout filming and her premiere press run. Following that, Bailey continues to flex her acting chops in the recently released movie, The Color Purple, which also stars H.E.R. and Ciara, among others.
The historical project is only just now hitting theatres, and as her fans check it out, the “Angel” singer is giving them a look at what went down behind the scenes on set. In the video below, we see Bailey in costume as Nettie, confidently throwing it back for Snapchat in her slave dress. “Lmaooo [what the hell] was I doing 
,” she wrote over top of the clip. “Nettie cuttin’ up between filming.”

Instead, Halle is happily showing off a heartfelt snuggle session with the YouTuber, during which he unknowingly had her in a headlock while peacefully snoring away. “I’m the world’s best cuddler,” she captioned that one.
