Emma Watson, known for her talent in interviews and her early success in Harry Potter, admitted that she hasn’t always been a great speaker. The British actress, now 27, shared a cringe-worthy moment from a few years ago during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where she discussed her role as Belle in Beauty And The Beast.
Emma Watson recently shared a hilarious anecdote about a past interview where she found herself in an awkward situation. She recalled mistakenly confusing Jimmy Fallon for Jimmy Kimmel and awkwardly mentioning a Halloween candy skit that was actually from Fallon’s show. Watson couldn’t help but blush as she admitted, “I died inside.” Despite her embarrassment, Fallon kindly offered to start over, showing his understanding and support during the uncomfortable moment.
Turning red with embarrassment, the 27-year-old British actress made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss her portrayal of Belle in Beauty And The Beast. She hilariously confessed that she initially confused Fallon for Jimmy Kimmel.
When discussing the mistake, she admitted: ‘I felt my heart sink… it was obvious that I was struggling internally’.
Oops! Host Jimmy Fallon shared that the actress had praised him for his Halloween candy prank segments, but he had to clarify that she had mistaken him for someone else. In addition, she mentioned that she attended a ‘princess boot camp’ to get ready for her role in Beauty And The Beast during an interview on a talk show.
When asked about her preparations for the Disney hit by The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, the actress replied, “I went through princess boot camp for three months. It was a blast.” She appeared on the show wearing a sleeveless white top and black pants.
“I had the opportunity to ride a horse, learn how to waltz, take singing lessons, and attend rehearsals,” she added.
“It was awesome,” Watson mentioned.
When Fallon asked if she still remembered how to waltz, Watson modestly answered, “I could manage to get through it somewhat decently.”
The premiere of Beauty And The Beast took place in London in February and it was released in the US in March.
The romantic fantasy movie has earned over $1 billion in the global box office, making it the highest-grossing movie of the year.
“It’s unbelievable,” Watson commented on its box office success.
“It just shows how much people adore the film, and that’s amazing,” she further added.
Blushing with embarrassment, Emma mistakenly mentioned Fallon’s late-night competitor instead. Fallon playfully corrected her, saying, “That’s Jimmy Kimmel…”
Moving forward: Despite the mishap, the duo appears to have developed a bond and couldn’t contain their laughter as they reminisced about their initial encounter.
The latest film from Emma is set to hit theaters this Friday in the US, as she excitedly talked about it during her recent interviews. She also shared a funny moment from her past appearance on a talk show with Fallon. Reminiscing about their first meeting years ago on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Emma praised him for his hilarious Halloween candy pranks. Fallon jokingly had to correct her by saying, “That’s Jimmy Kimmel,” referring to his late-night show rival.
Looking lovely in pink: The Harry Potter actress appeared stunning during her TV interview, wearing a silk pink camisole top paired with dark trousers.
The talented actress appeared in a scene from the hit movie Beauty And The Beast, which has grossed over $1 billion worldwide. Watson, known for her role in the Harry Potter series since childhood, expressed her excitement. Fallon mentioned they let Watson re-enter the stage to prevent any embarrassment. The actress was promoting her latest film, The Circle, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Wednesday.
Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, and Patton Oswalt can be seen in a screenshot from The Circle, a movie adapted from a novel of the same title written by Dave Eggers in 2013. The film, which is set to premiere in the US on Friday, features an impressive cast and promises an intriguing storyline.
In early 2016, Watson made a public announcement stating that she would be taking a break from acting for a year to concentrate on her advocacy for women’s rights and self-growth. As a result, she does not have any upcoming movie projects scheduled for release this year.
Dave Eggers, who was spotted at the premiere of The Circle in New York City on Wednesday, is the author of the 2013 novel The Circle. He collaborated with director James Ponsoldt to write the screenplay for the film adaptation.
