Is It Possible to Shade a Fictional Disney Princess? Because Emma Watson Just Did
Emma Watson is starting the promotional rounds for the live-action film adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, which hits theaters on March 17. In a recent interview with Total Film, Watson was asked about famously turning down the role of another Disney princess, Cinderella, in a similar remake in 2015. "I didn't know they were going to make Beauty and the Beast at the time I turned down Cinderella," she said. "But when they offered me Belle, I just felt the character resonated with me so much more than Cinderella did." Instead, newcomer Lily James starred in the titular role alongside Cate Blanchett and Richard Madden.
"In a strange way, she challenges the status quo of the place she lives in, and I found that really inspiring."
Watson went on about the differences between the two fictional characters, especially when it comes to Belle being a "much better role model" for young girls. "She remains curious, compassionate, and open-minded. And that's the kind of woman I would want to embody as a role model, given the choice. She explained, "There's this kind of outsider quality that Belle had, and the fact she had this really empowering defiance of what was expected of her. In a strange way, she challenges the status quo of the place she lives in, and I found that really inspiring. She manages to keep her integrity and have a completely independent point of view. She's not easily swayed by other people's perspective - not swayed by fear-mongering or scapegoating." Watson also had a hand in making Belle even more of a positive influence; she and director Bill Condon turned her into an inventor like her father, as Watson was curious about "what she did all day." Iconic.
