A REAL-LIFE mermaid has turned her passion for mythical creatures into full-time work. Elle Jimenez or 'Mermaid Elle', from Miami Beach, is a certified full-time professional mermaid and underwater performer. Growing up, Elle was fascinated by mermaids but never thought to invest in the idea until 2016 when she tried on a mermaid’s tail for the first time and dived into a world of magic. Since then, she started working in mermaid entertainment services; underwater performances and offering professional mermaid training. Elle admits that being a mermaid is not as easy as it may look: “Being a mermaid is hard. It takes a lot of work physically. It's also acting. And also this swimming aspect of it, how to swim safely.” Mermaid Elle is also an advocate for ocean conservation and strives to promote awareness on how to protect oceans with her project "Mermaid Elle #SavingTheSeas". She told Truly: “The one thing I love about mermaids is that they just represent this beautiful concept of nature and they protect their home. They protect their pod. I love the empowerment that mermaids represent and the conservation aspect of what a mermaid is. It’s a Mer Maid. It's the servant of the sea.”

Her kid gave such an intelligent response when asked if he believe in mermaids: I don't believe in mermaids but I believe in you ! Wow
That’s so sweet
sweet
@Paul Young I said the same thing. They are not real but he supports his mom so that's nice.
What a good answer!
I caught that too, smart n wise lil man
Not only is she ariel the little mermaid her husband is also Aquaman 😅😅
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Lol she is a mermaid but she is a real life professional fake mermaid 😂 the video title clicked baited us.
Is she married to Aguaman?
@@gabrielmoralesgonzalez6471 nah her husband has the Aquaman hair 🤣
Thank you Truly and team for capturing my work so merfectly! It was a splash to work with you and hope it inspires so many others to dive in and follow their dreams!
Mermaid hugs! 💙
This is a lovely video and as a mum of two boys your relationship with your son really shone through. He is so well spoken and obviously loved so much. I wish you all the luck for your future.
@@joobrien1863 True. Didn't expect to be touched by this video but I was
My autistic 9y/o son is obsessed with mermaids and being a mermaid right now, I'm going to show him your videos tomorrow!
You are absolutely beautiful!
You're mer-maid-zing! All of you are so beautiful🥰🤗💖
This is by far the best episode of Hooked on the Look! She's not delusional, is promoting positive messages, is passionate about the environment, and seemingly has incredibly healthy, loving relationships with her family and friends. The fact that she's stunning is just icing on the cake! I also love how she talks about the education and preparation that goes into her job!
Exactly!! I started wondering if she was an environmental scientist at one point
I agree 100%!
Precisely! I was surprised to see such an episode here. She seems to be a really lovely person.
And the most important, she's a good mom
I adore the fact that she made a point about safety. A few years back when these were popular with kids there were a lot of issues because you really have to be a strong swimmer or train yourself to swim like that.
I love it though! How fun would that be to just get to be a professional mermaid! ❤️
"you really have to be a strong swimmer"
Too bad because im getting it anyway :)
(I wouldnt swim with a mermaid tail ofc, i cant even float by myself, i'd just be outside lounging)
@@ja.lena.a fair enough
I tried my friend's a long time ago. It was really hard to put on and I nearly sank to the bottom. Though I got the hang of it and was able to swim. So yes definitely agree.
you have to learn how to dolphin kick, and some tails have a quick release method as well
This family is so beautiful and loving,love how her son said he doesn't believe in mermaids but he believes in her awwwww, really beautiful 💜💜💚
Her husband is really Aquaman and very supportive as well as her son 🥰
Poseidon
I love her son, he is so supportive. They raised him right.😭 Awesome dream job, glad you are so awesome
Hello dear how’re you doing?
🌈
All I can think of is how physically hard her job must be - swimming under water with that heavy fin without any breathing gear, while acting and being beautiful and graceful.
I do this as a hobby and the tail isn't heavy in the water, but it is a bit heavy on land. The tails are designed to have neutral boyancy in the water or even float on their own. The rest is definitely work!
Her core is strong as hell.
5:15 wow didn’t think I’d start crying but ok
She has such fortune to have such supportive men around her. She’s raising an adorable young man 😭🖤
I waited til 5:15 and ur right Me2, I started to😢 cuz her son said “I believe in you”that’s the best gift a child can give say to a parent and give their parents/parents hope and inspiration.
This is the best episode of Hooked on the Look so far, her advocacy on saving the environment specially the ocean is heart warming.
I am a real life professional couch manatee 🌊🌴
😆😆😆
I'm a professional beached whale 🐋
You're a professional?!?! I'm just a typical couch manatee but would love to reach professional status!
😂
I'm a professional shark. You guys better watch out. 💀
Lots of us professional mermaids out there! Elle is great
Thank you Raina! Sending lots of love 🥰
Hello, how’re you doing
"I don't believe in mermaids but I believe in you" - my sentiments exactly lol. This is pretty fascinating to watch. I do like the look and the colours. Kudos to Elle and her friends👏
Today I learned mermaid means ....servant of the sea...wow.... I appreciate how this goes beyond the "look" she talks about conservative and helping the earth and its an actual career not some weird fetish ...which is awsome!
I think maid is from maiden (young woman) not like a female servant
She is the very picture of a mermaid. More power to her!
Awwww I love this little family! I love that her son has embraced his mama's creative (and lucrative!) performance art and I love that her bf is so supportive and kind. And I love that she is bringing attention to a worthy cause! ❤️ Great job keep it up! ❤️
She is truly incredible. I know that her job is hard.
Yoooo I know that lady! Elle, you rock This interview was phenomenal 🥳🖤
She looks so pretty as a mermaid 🧜♀️
Maid means youthful beautiful woman, not actual maid like a servant. You have to remember the time period the term was coined by sailors.
She’s living out my childhood dreams 😅 this had to be the cooles my job 💜
For somebody who can’t swim (me) I love mermaids so much ,My ultimate favorite episode of truly me!
Take a swimming class, it is never too late.
sameee
And her husband looks like aquaman.
What a Perfect Couple!🧜♂️🧜
What a well raised kid! So adorable. These people are clearly great parents and I think she's definitely teaching her son that he can be whatever he wants as long as it's safe and I think that's great! PLUS she's trying to save the ocean! that is very admirable! 😊And I think she looks absolutely beautiful in all that mermaid get up!🥰
"MerMomma." I'm crying! Mommies are the most special people, ever! My Mom was my best friend too, and always will be. I miss her so much!
When her son said: “I do believe in you” My heart sank. That was lovely!
this is so interesting because people often think it isnt a serious career
They also think it's easy when it really isn't.
Been following her for years. And I remember her baby boy was a toddler. Oh goodness. How time flies.
What a cool job.
Wow, fantastic! I knew that there are hobby mermaids, but doing it as a job and telling people about the environment and how to protect it, is really awesome! 💖
this is my childhood dream. the ocean is magical and beautiful!
I'm surprised to see such a healthy and positive episode on Hooked on the Look. She's an elegant performer and delivers beautiful performances to lighten the mood of her audience. And she's not into any body modification and doesn't detach herself from the society. I love her makeup too, which is tastefully done.
Love the positive energy from the family its awesome.
So far, the best from Hook on the Look, positive message, positive people, positive action ❤️
no matter how old i am i WILL for ever LOVE mermaids. ✨PERIOD...✨
I absolutely adore this concept! Everything about a mermaid is just so soothing and nostalgic to me.
It's so cute how she's touched because her son tells he thinks her mermaid tails are cool 🤗🤗
Creative expression is one of the biggest gifts in this world. She’s living to the fullest
By far one of my favorite hooked on the look stories ❤️
What a group of refreshing people. Love it.
Yay Elle! 🥰 I’ve been following her journey for a couple years now! She’s so lovely in every way. 💖
I think it's beyond awesome! This lady is doing her dream job. Her costumes are totally amazing. Mermaids are the bomb!! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
Being a mermaid is one of the best hobbies/professions that combine so many talents and passions!
One of the coolest jobs! 😍 Speaking for the ocean and advocate about safety when diving. Really inspiring!💞
They are such a beautiful family and their love for each other is magical
She has a beautiful heart. Such an inspiration she is especially with her positivity 😊
She's so beautiful and I love that she's so protective of the ocean and uses this platform to help with conservation efforts.
She's literally living my childhood fantasy!
You are never too old to love mermaids. She has a lovely family. Her son is so adorable!
I like this. I wanted to be a mermaid as a kid, and def had a mermaid swim style which I actually didn't notice until people pointed it out. I did it for some long that it just is the way I swim lol
She is so beautiful and amazing inspiring remarkable mermaid and so strong passionate loving caring loving positive xoxo course and bravery and making a difference in the world save oceans xoxo 😘
This put a smile on
My face ! 💗💕💖 what a beautiful family 💝💝💝 simply magical
She's such a light!
We can all agree that they never disappoint us with their content 💗💗💗
definitely not
Sometimes they do
@@user-sk9bx8st5o 🤣🤣🤣
Her child is amazing. So so sweet.
This is giving me life💚
Aww, this is so wholesome!❤❤❤
This is so cool! I just love that gold crown!
People who can perform underwater are just AMAZING and MESMERIZING
She works really hard and I love all her looks
I know nobody asked
A few days ago, I have visited the ocean park, whereas me and my family were exploring the aquarium then I saw people performing as mermaids, it was insanely cool!
I thought this was going to be a lot of fluff and very superficial. But I was surprised, she took safety very seriously and is bringing attention to ocean conservation efforts. Like oceancleanup. This was a great piece.
What a beautiful family!! God Bless!
I just want to say that that is such a great kid 💜
He’s so thoughtful and careful with his words
This was really great to watch I would love to be one! She slayed that fin though 🧜♀️
I could watch this all day, so beautiful..
Thank you!! You are amazing 👏
They're so beautiful, I love mermaids.
I like how you care about the ocean and the clutter in the ocean 🌊.
Nah tho these people don’t get payed enough tho like this is a full on commitment
Mermaids is not easy to done as well, the skill to swim when your legs being tied together... She truly is amazing!
Her costumes are gorgeous! Awww...her son is so sweet.
Elle is the kind-hearted mermaid I've ever seen :')
Her kid gave very smart responses. 👍🏽💯
Aweeee
Mom: Do you believe in mermaids now?
Son: No, but I do believe in you 🥰
EXCUSE ME WELL MY HEART IS MELTING ❤️

Her son was really Sweet and supportive of his mom's mermaid obsession 😆
I loved watching and learning about you mermaid 🧜♀️ Elle your son is the sweetest, it’s cool that your boyfriend is aquaman, I will forever dream of being a mermaid thanks to you.🐬🌊
This has been my dream job since I was a kid. You have no idea💀😘. The fact that this is even a reality for some people astonishes me. A girl can dream right?
It does make me smile
Not sure if it’s just me, but in the shots where she has her natural shorter hair, she looks like America Ferrera in certain angles! (specifically from Superstore when America has short hair)
Amazing! She is soooo COOL!
I find this very fascinating and gorgeous
Just- how can you see underwater without using any goggles 😭😭
Enchanting!
This is so beautiful, my childhood dream.
Wow! I would love this job
These girls are magical.
I love this very much it seems so innocent to me💖
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! WHAT BRAND OF EYELINER DO YOU USE? EVEN THOUGH MY BRAND IS SUPPOSED TO BE WATERPROOF, IT PEELS OFF IN CHLORINE. THANK YOU.
She's so smart.
I used to pretend I was a mermaid and bound my legs together with a pool ring on my ankles. I was a really strong swimmer and it was soooo hard I never went deeper than 5 feet because I wanted to make sure I could come up for air. The sheer amount of physicality to do this is amazing.
Hello dear how’re you doing?
Wow.. Such a beautiful Mermaid🥰🥰❤
Her son is such a sweetheart
