Emma Watson’s singing in Beauty and the Beast blockbuster accidentally leaked by Toys R Us in new doll
The former Harry Potter star has kept her voice underwraps ahead of the release of the new film, but now it's leaked in the most surprising way possible
EMMA Watson has managed to keep her singing voice under wraps ahead of the release of her new film Beauty and the Beast - but now a snippet has leaked... Through a TOY.
Thanks to an embarrassing timing mishap, some of the film's merchandise was reportedly released early in Toys R' Us, and the results swiftly shared online.
One of the Hasbro Belle toys features Emma's voice in a 14 second sample from Something There.
It features the lyrics from the song: "True, that he’s no Prince Charming. But there’s something in him that I simply didn’t see."
As fans began sharing their surprise online, producer Jack Morrissey confirmed it really was her with a comment.
Re-posting the clip on his Instagram page, Jack wrote: "Well there it is, straight from the shelves at Toys R' Us..."
It followed the initial caption, which read: "Get ready for this one guys... FIRST LISTEN AT EMMA SINGING "SOMETHING THERE"!!!! I am officially floored, if she wasn't perfect enough this has absolutely nailed her as #Belle!
"I cannot wait for this movie!!! Recording taken from the singing Belle Hasbro doll! Not sure who to credit though, sorry!"
Fans were quick to praise the audio, as one wrote: "Just listened to what I hope is @EmmaWatson singing as Belle in #BeautyAndTheBeast . Matter of time until an Oscar with talent like that."
While another added: "A short clip of Emma Watson singing "Something There" has been leaked and I'm definitely going to be a crying mess during the whole film."
Emma is set to star alongside Dan Stevens, who plays the Beast.
Luke Evans will become Gaston, Ewan McGregor is Lumiere, while Emma Thompson is Mrs Potts, Ian McKellen is Cogsworth and Kevin Kline is Maurice.
Beauty and the Beast is out in UK cinemas from March 17 next year
