1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Her leads the cast

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: of ABC's upcoming live action Beauty and the Beast a

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: thirtieth celebration. When she stopped by GMA to discuss it,

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: she ditched her trademark sunglasses and has to be introduced

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: by her birth name, Gabriella Wilson, and it's a decision,

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: she explains, comes down to examining her relationship herself, saying,

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I've really been rediscovering my voice, and now that I'm

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: not wearing glasses because I can't be acting in them,

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: it's a new chapter. I'm really finding that connection with

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: myself and allowing people to see under the layers a bit.

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: Many musicians opt to use their real names while acting,

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,800
