'My six year-old self is on the ceiling - heart bursting!': Emma Watson reveals she'll play Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast
Announcing details on Twitter, she wrote:
'I'm finally able to tell you...It was such a big part of my growing up, it
almost feels surreal that I'll get to dance to '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. Emma x'.
她在Twitter上公布：
「我終於可以跟大家說了...我即將在真人版《美女與野獸》中飾演貝兒！這對我來說是很大的成長，可以在電影中跳〈Be Our Guest〉的舞蹈、唱〈Something
There〉感覺好不真實...心中六歲的那個自己心跳不已。準備去上歌唱課程囉，好想讓大家趕快看到這部電影。」
