Emma Watson

[Larancia]

I come across the clips from the recent podcast and in each of them she talks NONSENSE. She is muttering the most basic things as if theyre philosophical discoveries... I dont know if its because her life/development is delayed due to being on set for a long time but she doesnt sound like a 30 something uni graduate/masters student. She sounds like a smug 15 year old. Im biased but stillll

I think none of the three would be really famous without Harry Potter. Emma and Daniel are very wooden actors (though I'm not very familar with his stage work). Rupert was the most talented of the three in my opinion, if anything.

I agree, the internet seems to love Daniel but I can’t stand him so my opinion might be biased but he’s just nothing special. Without HP, which was a one in a lifetime chance, he wouldn’t be anywhere. I know he had some roles before HP but he was painfully average always...and all the money he got as Harry made it possible for him afford his not so conventional filmography, he could do whatever he wanted without a worry…so yeah I can’t stand his smug face, same as with Emma

 

[Hollie Day]

I've never been impressed by her acting and I don't believe she genuinely supports all these band wagons that she's so quick to jump on.

 

[LaBlonde]

oooh, really? Never heard of that, but I bet that she was royally p*ssed off Not surprised either.

she was a last minute replacement for emma stone and there was apparently a scene between her and laura dern that was so bad that it was instantly cut. it was her highest profile role for a long while too so the fact that she didn’t promote it really stood out.

should clarify the director was greta gerwig, not sofia coppola though!

 

[Libertine1975]

She was the weakest link in the recent Little Women adaptation and I hated her in Beauty and the Beast.

 

[Warpaint]

She ruined Perks Of Being A Wallflower. Nothing like how I imagined Sam to be in the book - Watson has no charisma at all.

 

[smartalec]

Not in the least bit surprising. She’s talentless, as shallow as a saucer and a total hypocrite. The activism is all PR. Lectures everyone including JKR (who is responsible for all her success) but sponging onto a disgusting billionaire thiefs

And of course she’s in reformation dresses, the height of rich girl basic bitchery. Imagine having all that cash and the world designers at your fingertips and wearing what every Imogen wears to her cousins wedding.

 

[WaWooWeeWa]

Her last job was three years ago and she doesn't have any work lined up aside from the HP special. If I had to guess, the majority of Ms. Watson's acting career is behind her. Her looks aren't the issue, plenty of successful actresses are "plain" -- it means they can play a wider variety of roles depending on how they're styled. Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss, and Jennifer Lawrence are not great beauties but they get work anyway because they're good at what they do and people like watching them. Emma is neither a good actress nor, I suspect, easy to work with -- she refused to do publicity for Little Women after Coppola cut a lot of her scenes.

Rereading this thread as it got bumped and I forgot that she used to date Philip Green’s son and was pictured with the family holidaying on the yachts. Who tf does she think she is to morally lecture anybody about anything? I’m glad JK publicly called her fakeness out. I’ll post it here in all its brilliance:


I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sëx public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sëx changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

'Twas indeed a fair slap down for, as I've said before, a rather smug, 'worthy', precocious young madam.

 

[Spurgyrose]

WTF is a sustainability trailblazer? Serious question, what does she actually do these days?

She is the epitome of an image 100% manufactured by her PR agency. Problem is she doesn’t seem to be a top priority for them so they just get her stints here and there that play into this image of her as being very socially conscious (to compensate for the terrible acting skills) to keep her name out there or help push whatever she’s trying to sell at the time. But it’s not particularly cogent. Like for this, I don’t know if she has some new greenwashing initiative to peddle but agencies often trade access to bigger name clients for favours like a big cover for someone who may not otherwise get it on their own. This kind of looks like what happened here.

 

[LaBlonde]

I think none of the three would be really famous without Harry Potter. Emma and Daniel are very wooden actors (though I'm not very familar with his stage work). Rupert was the most talented of the three in my opinion, if anything.

daniel is terrible in hp but i’ve seen him on stage a few times (including in a musical) and he was excellent every time. he comes across as a genuinely nice person too, though i agree he probably never would have had the career he’s had without hp.

rupert is the most talented and ironically seems to be the one who has shunned the limelight since. watching them as kids i was convinced that he was the one who would make it as an adult actor.

 

[HockyRorror]

The only thing I remember regarding her education was a blind item when she was studying (in America?) and there was a story about how a lecturer asked the class a question and she answered and got it right and someone apparently shouted out “Ten points to Gryffindor!”

 

[heavy_electrons]

Agree with all the above. Question is… if she wasn’t Hermione would she be famous now? Probably not. You’d think Daniel and Rupert would have got recognition through other roles… her? Nope.

 

[Scotch Mist]

I think when it comes to JK, Emma Watson gets an unfair go of it.

when it all kicked off there was pressure on all the cast to release statements and Dan, Emma and Rupert all released one. I remember being surprised at the time at how lightly her statement was worded. Dan if I recall, was very outspoken due to his links with The Trevor Project and Eddie Redmayne who was the lead in her movie was extremely outspoken yet all the headlines are this feud between Emma and Jk? Why’s that?

I don’t deny she has an air of self importance about her and she’s definitely won't be winning an Oscar any time but the whole she should kiss JK’s feet thing is a load of nonsense.

You're right that Emma is no worse than Daniel and the others who issued statements but they didn't need to say anything at all. They would all have done better to keep their traps shut instead of virtue signalling nonsense.

 

[LoopyLou47]

The male stars may also speak out against Rowling but they’re not being as patronising towards women i

I agree wholeheartedly with what you say, but Daniel Radcliffe apologised on behalf if Rowling when she didn't ask him to, can speak very eloquently for herself and is an accomplished woman nit only old enough to he his mother but is responsible for everything he has. If that's not patronising, I don't know what is!

I agree, the internet seems to love Daniel but I can’t stand him so my opinion might be biased but he’s just nothing special. Without HP, which was a one in a lifetime chance, he wouldn’t be anywhere. I know he had some roles before HP but he was painfully average always...and all the money he got as Harry made it possible for him afford his not so conventional filmography, he could do whatever he wanted without a worry…so yeah I can’t stand his smug face, same as with Emma

His mother was also a casting director.

 

[Jvuddie]

I would just like to say that I think Emma Watson is quite beautiful and natural. She has such subtle features that I understand why people find her average looking, but in my eyes her beauty is special.

Her acting on the other hand… She’s really good at making you feel the cameras around her and ruin the scene for you.

Goodness isn't beauty subjective.
I honestly find her one of the plainest, most norm looking celebs going.

Without stylists, hair dressers, makeup artists, personal chefs, PTs, millions of pounds etc I imagine I would really struggle telling her apart from all the other averagely attractive girls you see on your local high street.

One man's subtle is another's boring I guess

 

[Reraciara]

Ever since Beauty and thr Beast when she had costume control and refused to wear corsets she has annoyed me.

 

[Warpaint]

At least she's stopped ruining films now.

 

[Chilli pepper 19]

She's on the cover of British Vogue, apparently she's a "sustainability trailblazer"

Terribly Photoshopped photo.

Who the fuck is that and has she finished spending all of the stolen money Philip Green stolen from thevBHS pension fund yet?

 

[Phil Anne Throw Pee]

Has she claimed to be non binary yet? Won't be long.
