In Disney’s reimagined version of the original movie, McCarthy and Bardem play rival siblings Ursula and King Triton. In a recent interview with the two, McCarthy said she made a point to enjoy every second that she shared with Bardem.

She said, “I was really nervous to meet him, but the nerves went away within two seconds. The second you meet Javier, he’s like a walking warm hug,” and when asked if she had crossed paths with him, “I’ve dreamed of it. I’ve always wanted to, so this is quite a thrill for me.” Bardem also shared, “I follow the amazing work that she does, and we love her at home. So it was great to know that we at least had a day that we could cross paths on the set.”

He then went on to reflect on her acting by saying, “She’s brought everything that you can ask for and imagine. So I need an Ursula spinoff, and since our characters are siblings, I want to have one scene with her while having dinner.” To which McCarthy immediately responded, “Let’s go for six or seven if we’re throwing it out there. C’mon!”
