Once invited to transform into the character Cinderella in the live-action version produced by Disney, the star of the movie “Beauty and the Beast” Emma Watson flatly refused.

Emma Watson once refused to play Cinderella

9x star Emma Watson just caused a surprise when she shared in a conversation with Total film magazine: “I didn’t know they were going to make the movie ‘Beauty and the Beast’ at the time I refused the movie ‘Cinderella’. ”. But when they asked me to play Belle, I just felt that this character impressed me a lot more than the previous Cinderella character.”

“She is curious, compassionate, open-minded and the type of woman I want to portray, as a role model, providing choice,” Emma Watson continued the sharing line.

The role of Cinderella finally went to Lily James

After Emma Watson shook her head, the role of Cinderella finally went to the star of the movie “Downton Abbey” Lily James. And despite the absence of Emma Watson, the story of the real-life version of “Cinderella” still brought Disney more than 543 million USD in box office revenue.

Witnessing the success of “Cinderella”, Emma Watson still did not feel regretful because the “little witch” accepted the invitation to participate in the work “Beauty and the Beast”.

Sharing about her new character, Emma Watson did not hesitate to praise: “In a strange way, she challenges the status quo where she lives and I find that really inspiring. And what’s more, she maintains her integrity and has a completely independent perspective.”

As expected, Disney’s new blockbuster will officially hit cinemas on March 17. And despite the difficulties of participating in a musical film for the first time, Emma Watson still strongly believes in the success of “Beauty and the Beast”.

“Beauty and the Beast” will hit theaters in March this year
