LONDON: Emma Watson proved that she is willing to do almost anything to get the word out about gender equality.

And that includes a very awkward attempt at beatboxing.

Launching into a somewhat cringeworthy effort, the 25-year-old British actress was left mortified with embarrassment afterwards, despite giving it her all, Daily Mail reported. The bashful Emma turned red following the brief performance, describing herself as ‘literally the color of a tomato’.

However, as the Harry Potter star had never attempted to lay down a beat before — she had to get a quick lesson from Lin-Manuel before embarking on the musical endeavor.
