If you feel ever-so-slightly disappointed when the Beast turns back into a prince in the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, then you're not alone.
What to Read Next
We see Dan Stevens in Beast-form for the majority of the film, so naturally, we get used to him as a furry sort – with a deep, sexy, guttural voice, not to mention those big arms that can throw you around a bit, thighs that have clearly seen leg day in the gym, and hair, well, that you can grab onto – but then he turns back into scrawny Prince Adam – and you're left disappointed (sorry, Dan).
Anyway it turns out, Emma Watson, who plays Belle in the re-imagining of the 1991 classic, feels the same.
Speaking to Yahoo! Movies, she said: "There's something a bit sad about when he transforms. You're a bit like 'Oh, OK... You were quite nice before'.
"He's hot, the Beast is hot."
And it seems, the 26-year-old actress isn't just a fan of the Beast but of other fictional animals as well...
"I found Aslan, the lion [from Narnia] quite hot. Is that wrong? Is that OK? probably not."
