    All this outrage drowning out the real issue here - there's and actress called Halle Bailey? That sounds way too close to Halle Berry?? Did the Hollywood PR guys not focus test this??? It's confusing????

      Seriously this poor young actor is getting no credit because I saw two separate articles saying it was Halle Berry.

      I disagree.

      I think the real outrage is - how come she doesn't drown when she's singing underwater?

      Wait, I just realized it’s not actually Halle Berry in the movie.

      If you sound out her name in Chinese, Google assumes you mean Halle Berry. Appparently the chosen convention is to spell and pronounce Bailey's first name as "hayley" or "hǎili" which is just not the pronunciation, it should be identical to the pronunciation of Halle Berry's first name, but it isn't.

      it's all very confusing

      Coincidence??
