Her next role is that of Belle in Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast, a character that Watson admits has been a favorite of hers since she was four. “I didn’t know they were going to make Beauty and the Beast at the time I turned down Cinderella, but when they offered me Belle, I just felt the character resonated with me so much more than Cinderella did.
Watson is admired by many, but particularly highly thought of among young teenage girls, who are heavily influenced by the media, and Watson has tried to use that for good.
However, she also found herself becoming a voice for women across the globe when she was appointed a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador.
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.”
