    And not too long ago, in an interview, Halle revealed that she was shocked to even be asked to audition, never mind even landing the role.

    However, in a recent interview with BuzzFeed, her sister Chloe reflected back on Halle's audition process and how she helped her prepare.

    Chloe said that she "cried" when she saw Halle in her screen test.

    "I knew in that moment that she landed the role — I don't think she did until she got the official call, but I knew that the role was hers," Chloe concluded.

    Excited to see Halle kill it as Ariel!
