早在《美女與野獸》開(kāi)拍前，大家就對(duì)“誰(shuí)能擔(dān)起貝拉角色的重任”表示困惑，這個(gè)充滿夢(mèng)幻又隨時(shí)引起懷舊殺的電影女主，注定需要好的人緣和觀眾認(rèn)可度。 

后來(lái)，艾瑪?shù)募尤氩粌H讓大家松了口氣，還增添了幾分驚喜。觀眾們的買賬程度已經(jīng)達(dá)到一定高度，甚至在官方劇照還沒(méi)出爐之時(shí)，就已經(jīng)ps了各種艾瑪版本的貝拉形象。 

而艾瑪·沃特森自己也尤其喜歡《美女與野獸》這個(gè)故事，她曾在臉書(shū)上公布參演消息時(shí)就說(shuō)到，這個(gè)角色是她兒時(shí)的夢(mèng)想，現(xiàn)在夢(mèng)想成真了。 

"I'm finally able to tell you... that I will be playing Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast! It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I'll get to dance to (songs) Be Our Guest and sing Something There. My six-year-old self is on the ceiling – heart bursting. Time to start some singing lessons. I can't wait for you to see it."
