Privacy for me is not an abstract idea: Emma Watson
And to prove she still cares about her fans, Watson offers an autograph or time to chat, in lieu of a selfie.
The 26-year-old actress, who stars as Belle in the upcoming “Beauty and the Beast”, said she found the courage to say no to selfies recently, reported Vanity Fair.
“I certainly felt watching the original that I wanted to know more about why Belle feels that she’s different and why she wants to be different and why she’s naturally different”. “I would hate anyone that I were with to feel like they were in any way part of a show or an act”.
“And also, no one likes to feel- they feel that there’s blame attached to that word, and I think that’s very hard to deal with”.
“I used to be scared of words like ‘feminism, ‘ ‘patriarchy, ‘ ‘imperialist.’ But I’m not anymore”, the actress said. Watson starred in all of the “Harry Potter” films as Hermione Granger and it was the franchise that gave her fame and a career in acting. “You can’t have it both ways”, said Emma.
In the article, Steinem defends Watson’s ongoing activism to say: ‘Let me ask you something: If you did a story on a young male actor who was very private and involved in activism, would you think he was too severe or serious? I agree with most commenters who say that Evans was born for this role, if only for the singing part. While she’ll be happy to talk about whatever she’s promoting, she will not talk about her love life-especially her relationship with boyfriend William “Mack” Knight. “I’d put my hands on the sink and look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘Who is this?'” she told the publication, discussing the various Harry Potter film premieres. She goes on to seek the true prince within.
In the live-action retelling of the Disney classic, Watson’s Belle, an avid reader, is held captive by Dan Stevens’ Beast in an enchanted castle.
The film is set for release on March 17th, 2017. Starting March 2, you can download the issue to your iPhone or Kindle.
