If you cringed while watching footage of Dan Stevens in his motion capture suit for Beauty and the Beast, you're not alone.

ET's Leanne Aguilera caught up with the actor and his fellow Legion cast members at Comic-Con in San Diego, California, on Thursday, where he finally addressed the Beast in the room -- and gave major props to his Beauty and the Beast co-star, Emma Watson.

"She's a total pro! Nobody's dealt with [more] weird things than she has," Stevens confessed of the Harry Potter star.

"You were pretty hot in that outfit," Stevens' Legion co-star, Jean Smart, joked. "You're OK on your own, but..."

"Thank you," he graciously replied.

As for whether Stevens' suit might find a new home on Legion, showrunner Noah Hawley didn't seem opposed to the idea.

"I think it would be great to spend millions to create a motion capture suit to then turn you into yourself," he said to Stevens.

"I can just grow my beard, that would save a lot of time," Stevens joked to Hawley's stamp of approval. "I like it."
