Emma Watson interviewed and decorated the Vanity Fair cover

Fantastic and magical love stories have become an integral part of Emma Watson's role as an actress, but as the girl herself claims, filming a movie takes up only a small part of her life. All the aspirations of the actress are directed toward charitable and civil activities, the struggle for gender and civil rights.

A little bit about personal

The first question asked, which worried many of the fans of the actress, concerned her personal life and the information that appeared about the novel with the 36-year-old William Knight. The actress's choice is not connected with the film industry, works in the IT field and never accompanies Emma on the red carpet and official events, because his image is covered with numerous rumors and increased attention from the paparazzi. The halo of mystery around personal life is quite understandable, after all, since the release of the movie "Harry Potter", the girl and her first love were under the steadfast gaze of the omnipresent paparazzi.

For me, privacy is not an abstraction or a juggler's game. I want people close to me to be deprived of constant surveillance of the paparazzi and control of each step. It is for this reason that I always hide my personal relationships from strangers. Perhaps this is not right, because Hollywood often uses rumors about novels for PR and the promotion of a film or series. Your chosen one becomes part of the production show and the relationship collapses.

Recall that the actress is one of the few who leads a rather closed way of life, tries not to involve herself in dubious film adventures, is known in her circle as an intellectual and a supporter of the struggle for gender rights. It is known from unofficial sources that there were few novels in Emma's life, but her beloved actresses could not stand her schedule, study at university, the success and publicity of the profession.

About feminism in "Beauty and the Beast"

Of course, the journalists of the magazine could not get around the topic of gender relations and draw parallels with the roles played by Watson.

For some reason, many people are afraid of the words "feminism", "patriarchy", "imperialist", but I do not understand why. In the case of Belle, she is not a "passive heroine" and not an ordinary "Disney princess", she herself is responsible for her own destiny. I already said in one of the interviews that when I was offered this role, I experienced ambivalent feelings: joy and confusion. In childhood, this fairy tale caused me a lot of questions and misunderstandings, how can I love a monster? " Then there was the realization that, perhaps, the behavior of the heroine can be explained by the Stockholm syndrome? It was wrong. After reading the script and analyzing the entire situation, I realized that the role is much deeper, and Belle is not a victim. She is true to her inner world and moral categories, Belle is a very deep and integral personality. After that, I agreed to the shooting.

On the divorce of parents

To survive the divorce of parents, books and the love of parents helped me. My childhood memories are related to how my father read to me before going to bed, he gave me a whole world, changing voices depending on the characters and the plot. A little later, there was a film set and new friends, books and heroes continued to be a significant part of my life.

About the profession and roles

I'm a bore and admit it (smiles Emma)! I strive to understand the roles and to give my best, such a perfectionism prevented me when I was 10-11 years old. Fortunately, with time came the experience and it became easier.

About fans of Potters

For me, this is an ambiguous topic, I saw different instances of the perception of actors by fans and not all of them are adequate. Someone does a tattoo with my face on the whole hand, someone craves a photo, someone finds a book in the book to overcome oncology and severe treatment. Reese Witherspoon, yes, and other actors, are easier to perceive fame than I do. It seems to me that the phenomenon of potteries is that it passes, grows into an unhealthy obsession. I do not want to be a part of this neurosis, and all the more so that I'm used.

About yoga and meditation

Emma for many years engaged in professional yoga and meditation practices. Producer David Heyman, known to us from the Harry Potter films, suggested that she become a certified instructor and devote herself to teaching, but Emma did not want to turn a hobby into a career.

About failures and legibility of roles

To date, the actress often refuses to roles that, in her opinion, do not represent any value or interfere with her volunteer activity, from 2013 she is a goodwill ambassador to the UN. Although Emma can often be seen at festivals of avant-garde and author's cinema, sometimes she agrees to episodic roles in low-budget, but perspective, in her opinion, pictures.

An interesting fact about Watson's "incomprehensible" refusals. It became known that the main female role in the film "La La Land" was written under Emma Watson, not Emma Stone. Watson refused in favor of the adaptation of the Disney film "Beauty and the Beast", and, in her words, does not regret it at all! Despite the fact that Stone is bathing now in the rays of glory.

There were moments in my career when it was hard for me to prove to the agent and the producer that my personal life, my studies, and not my career, were more important to me. I was persuaded that I was wrong and make a big mistake, but I do not regret the failure, the meaning of success, if in my head - empty? I made it clear that studying at school and university comes first, that rest and personal space is very important for me. More important than turning your soul on the set! I was not understood and considered crazy, which is fundamentally wrong, this is the opposite of insanity. Be yourself an important quality in the modern world!
