Lindsay Lohan has hinted that she is hoping to play The Little Mermaid’s Ariel on the big screen – but fans aren’t all that keen to see it happen.
The flame-haired actress tweeted side-by-side images of herself and the character, a fellow redhead.
She added the hashtag “#thelittlemermaid”, suggesting she is hoping to play Ariel in the planned live-action version of The Little Mermaid.
But it seems viewers are hoping to see someone other than Li-Lo, 30, as Ariel.
Can we nip this "Lindsay Lohan should play Ariel" thing in the bud RIGHT NOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

@flickeringmyth Lindsay Lohan would've been a perfect choice 10 years ago. I'm not being age-ist, but the character of Ariel is a teenager.
