Dan Stevens filming in his CGI Beast suit is absolutely hilarious

OK, we admit it. Beauty and the Beast is probably our favourite live-action Disney remake so far. It's going to take a miracle to beat the beautiful costumes, Dan Stevens' ferocious Beastly performance, and the pure joy of watching Ewan McGregor and Ian McKellen play household objects.

But this might just do it: clips of Dan Stevens playing the Beast, in his weird alien-like CGI suit.

Seriously though, how did Emma Watson managed to keep the giggles down?! We're pretty amazed at her professionalism.

We are also now convinced that we need to see a full new release of the Disney remake, with Dan in the alien suit.

Absolutely brilliant.

The actor came to Magic a few months ago, and revealed that the costume weighed about 40 pounds, and was very thick and bulky. He was also on ten-inch stilts during all his scenes as the Beast!
