WEBVTT - DFH- H.E.R. Using Her Birth Name

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Her leads the cast

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>of ABC's upcoming live action Beauty and the Beast a

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>thirtieth celebration. When she stopped by GMA to discuss it,

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>she ditched her trademark sunglasses and has to be introduced

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>by her birth name, Gabriella Wilson, and it's a decision,

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>she explains, comes down to examining her relationship herself, saying,

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I've really been rediscovering my voice, and now that I'm

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>not wearing glasses because I can't be acting in them,

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it's time for people to really get to know the

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>person behind her her is me. But at the same time,

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a new chapter. I'm really finding that connection with

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.959
<v Speaker 1>myself and allowing people to see under the layers a bit.

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Many musicians opt to use their real names while acting,

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>so it's still unclear of her will ever release an

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>album under her birth name Gabriella. Beauty and the Beast

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>A thirtieth Celebration airs December fift on ABC that's Direct

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>from Hollywood.
