The curious case of Dan Stevens on stilts

Emma Watson says she was scared her Beauty and The Beast co-star Dan Stevens would break her foot while practising for the film's iconic waltz sequence.

The 26-year-old actress says she was "slightly terrified" an accident might take place during the rehearsals of the titular song, reported FemaleFirst.

 

"Dan was essentially wearing steel-capped stilts. I was slightly terrified my foot was going to get broken or we were going to end up in a heap on the floor. So it had an extra edge to it," says Watson.

 

But the actress says it was a great way to develop a good working relationship with the actor, who plays Beast in the Bill Condon movie.

"It was actually a really good pre-film bonding. We got to know each other and learned to trust each other. I would recommend all couples go and dance together, stamp on each other's toes, be completely off-beat. It's perfect," says the actress.
