On June 11, the British newspaper The Sun exposed the past in the acting profile of Stefano Tomadini. Recently, a source in the film crew revealed: “The casting managers have decided to hire some really sexy male models to play the mermaid in the movie.”
According to The Sun, Stefano Tomadini has appeared in 3 pornographic videos under the name Dante Ferrari. The actor is said to have been paid between £800 and £1,000 for making a video. The video content Stefano Tomadini participated in is said to be still viewable via payment and has not been taken down.
The source said Disney didn’t know about this before casting the cast. Furthermore, since the film is a “summer blockbuster for kids”, the lack of awareness of this information is said to be “shameful”.
Stefano Tomadini plays one of the male mermaids in The Little Mermaid. Since the film was released, the actors playing the mermaid characters have also become the subject of discussion on social networks and community forums.
