Disney accidentally cast male porn star in The Little Mermaid remake
DISNEY bosses accidentally cast a male porn star in their remake of The Little Mermaid.
Stefano Tomadini, 24, filmed scenes as a merman alongside other hunks.
The London-based Italian has also appeared in a number of movies for a porn site which would leave Princess Ariel and the rest of King Triton’s Kingdom completely shocked.
Using the alias Dante Ferrari he filmed three racy videos for which he was paid between £800 and £1,000 a time.
The explicit content, which has to be paid for by viewers, is still available to watch today.
A film source said: “Casting bosses decided to hire a number of really sexy male models to play mermen in the movie.
“They had no idea about Stefano’s racy videos and, given The Little Mermaid is the big summer blockbuster for kids, it’s a bit embarrassing for Disney.”
Stefano posted several behind- the-scenes pictures from his time filming in Sardinia to his Instagram account.
He captioned it “Lifetime memories with lifetime friends” and tagged Disney in the post.
A topless picture he posted to his Instagram stories alongside two other mermen was shared on Twitter by a movie fan.
The film was released on May 26 and stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy as sea witch Ursula and Brit Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric.
Disney declined to comment.
