'Beauty and the Beast' Star Emma Watson Bares All In Vanity Fair Shoot

Emma Watson is one of the prominent actresses in Hollywood. After her first professional acting role in fantasy film "Harry Potter", another enchanting role awaits, as she plays the role of Belle in Disney's live-action "Beauty and the Beast."

As she sat down for a dazzling chat for Vanity Fair's March cover, Emma Watson posed for the first time on her most daring photo shoot wearing a topless with just a caged bolero. Emma Watson also came to reveal her touching hardships growing under the spotlight. She revealed how hard it could be from keeping her boyfriend in the public eye and even to seek someone's approval before agreeing to play Belle.

When the role of Belle in the "Beauty in the Beast" was handed to her, she took her mother with her and Gloria Steinem to a screening in London for their approval and said: "I couldn't care less if I won an Oscar or not if the movie didn't say something that I felt was important for people to hear", shared Vanity Fair.

Emma Watson specifically wanted her role as a Disney princess in Disney's live-action "Beauty and the Beast" that doesn't contradict with the ideals of being a feminist. However, Steinem, said, "It was fascinating that her activism could be so well mirrored by the film."

Emma Watson was on her complete transformation from child star to a leading woman when she first got the role as Belle. It was a complete transition story for her. Interestingly, she relates her real life similar to what is Belle in the movie "Beauty and Beast", from the part she plays to what she read in bed at night and even the clothes she wears in the morning, she added.

On the other hand, 26-year-old, British actress, model, and known for her strong feminine views and activism, Emma Watson was also appointed as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. She is not just exceptionally beautiful but also smart. Even she speaks off the cuff, she was able to deliver her message gracefully during her advocacy at UN Headquarters in New York City to launch the UN Women campaign HeForShe, a movement for gender equality, shared unrealitytv.

Her powerful message on women's rights lasted for 10 minutes. She ended her speech with a very moving message: "I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen, and to ask yourself, If not me, who? If not now, when?"
