The star of Beauty and the Beast, Emma Watson, has been receiving high praise for her performance, and rightfully so. Emma was thrilled and emotional as she looked back on her work, admitting that she was brought to tears. She shared that she couldn’t believe the progress she had made after three months of singing lessons, feeling incredibly proud of herself.
Emma’s self-doubt was evident as she confessed to being terrified of hearing herself sing, even drawing comparisons to Florence Foster Jenkins, a tone-deaf amateur singer. She opened up about her crisis of confidence before filming started, worrying that she was terrible like Jenkins and that no one was brave enough to tell her. Overcoming her fears and paranoia, Emma pushed through and delivered a stunning performance.
Lead actress Emma, aged 26, takes on the role of Belle in the live adaptation, starring opposite Dan Stevens as The Beast. She confessed to shedding some tears upon hearing her own singing voice during the recordings.

She quipped, “I’m 26 and I’ve peaked!” In reference to the enchanting ballroom dance scene with The Beast (portrayed by Dan Stevens), she remarked, “There’s never going to be a more romantic moment in my life! There will never be a more romantic dress, ballroom, or dance with my love interest! Belle was one of my childhood heroines, and Hermione was as well, and now I’ve embodied both. As an actress, to embody both characters is simply amazing!”
