Any actor knows when they sign on to star in a big-budget movie that their face is likely to end up on pyjama sets, toys and lunchboxes (as Benedict Cumberbatch recently found out).
But we wouldn't be surprised if Emma Watson was a little taken aback when she saw this piece of 'Beauty and the Beast' merchandise.
Watson is playing Disney princess Belle in the new live-action remake and has been transformed into a plastic doll ahead of the movie's release. The result has caused quite a stir on social media, with fans saying the toy looks like more pop star Justin Bieber than the former Harry Potter actress...
