Emma Watson reveals very bizarre celebrity crush

EMMA Watson should have maybe kept this little piece of information to herself.

EMMA Watson has made the hilarious confession that she finds fictional messiah-like lion Aslan attractive.

The 26-year-old British actress was approached by Yahoo! on the red carpet of the premiere of new Disney live action film Beauty and The Beast, reports The Sun.

And according to a report by MoviePilot.com, the former Harry Potter actress confessed she thinks the Lion from the Chronicles of Narnia film series is “hot.”

“Is that wrong? Is that okay? Probably not … No … It’s not okay … It’s not okay … I’m getting shaking heads,” the star then reportedly asks following her unusual confession.

Not backing down, however, Emma adds: “It happens. Sometimes animals in films are hot, I don’t know what to say. That’s where we’re at.”

The role of Aslan was ‘played’ by Liam Neeson in the Chronicles of Narnia film series which hit cinemas screens between 2005 and 2010.

At least he has a good head of hair.

However, it’s not just Liam’s charming voice that won over Emma — as she also confessed she thinks Dan Stevens’ Beast in their Disney love story was also an attractive character.

“There’s something a bit sad about when he transforms. You’re like a bit … oh … okay, you were quite nice before. He’s hot. The beast is hot,” she said.

Emma is currently starring in international box office smash Beauty and The Beast as the titular genetically blessed lead star Belle.

The film is a live action version of the 1994 animated classic of the same name and see’s Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens play the unfortunate Prince who is transformed into the monstrous Beast.

An all-star cast feature in the big screen adventure including Emma Thompson as kindly teatpot Mrs Potts and Ian McKellen as noble clock Cogsworth.
