The handsome actor, known for his roles in shows like Downton Abbey and The Guest, appeared thrilled about his upcoming project as he posed alongside Emma.

Discussing his new role, the brunette actress shared her vision of creating a unique backstory for her character, Belle, before she meets the Beast. In this adaptation, Belle is portrayed as a quirky and inventive character, taking on the role of her father from the animated version.
The opening song of the film beautifully captures the challenges faced by Belle, showcasing the divide between boys going to school and girls doing laundry.
She creates a unique washing machine that runs on a donkey, which helps the young girls in the village be freed from their household tasks. This allows her the opportunity to educate one of the girls in reading. However, the villagers, filled with suspicion, destroy the machine. “They not only oppose the idea of women learning to read but go even beyond that,” the actress from Harry Potter explained. “By destroying the washing machine, they are essentially attempting to crush her spirit and force her to conform to society’s ‘acceptable’ norms.”
Twice the fun: The duo was also present at the London debut of the film just seven days ago.
