Emma Watson

[wild roses]

I have to back RandHrShipper's definition of petite as well. I'm 4'11 and so when I see people here calling Emma petite, it drives me nuts as well. Emma is not as tall as other actresses and many models are, but she is not petite.

(You know, I seriously wish the mods would put a ban on the word petite too, like they do the word curvy, cuz the way I see it being used here, as well in Leighton Meester's forum, it not being used correctly. It's being used as an euphemism for "look how tiny her waist is!" As a petite person, who is not tiny waisted, I take offense at that. Petite has always been about height, not how tiny your waist is.)

She takes such awesome photos, she gives off a young carefree vibe. Just love her, she can really pull off wearing docs so much better than I can.

It does explain a lot. Don't worry about it, and I do get why that would make you emotional. I'm really sorry if I in some way 'insulted' you with my terms as 'petite'. Take care!

It's cool--glad you understand! Thanks!

And thanks for the support too, Vanessa!

I also would like to say that I am a HUGE fan of Emma's, in case my posts gave the wrong idea. Had I been lucky enough to begin acting as a child, I would have operated my career the exact same way Emma has--staying in college, thoughtful choices. And I am a LOT like Hermione in real life and she played that character so well that I will always be a fan.

I know the internet says she's 5'6'', but having almost barreled into her on the street with boyfriend (who is measured at 5'6'') I would say that I'm not totally sold on her really being that height. Maybe that doesn't make her petite (I wish I had a word to describe her slight/small frame without making her sound "delicate"), but she didn't really give me the impression that she was of average height/size.

We definitely live in a culture that lauds height, so it is quite possible that someone is fudging a few inches.

My friend went to Brown and said she was about 5'3''.

My friend went to Brown and said she was about 5'3''.

You know, it's funny you say that. I don't feel that short when I go out around other people and I have a cousin who's 6'1" and I don't feel as short next to him as some actresses who are supposed to be taller than me look when they are photographed next to actors who are that height. It makes me wonder if the published heights of all actresses may be fudged up a few inches--the general public may barely know the difference. Hmm...

From the ELLE Women in Hollywood issue

Elle: You’ve said that being famous makes you uncomfortable. How so?
Emma Watson: A I’m dealing with people’s projections of me. I don’t know when people look at me if they see a beautiful dress I wore on the red carpet, or all of the magic and hype of Harry Potter. They very rarely just see who I am, which is a normal, human 22-year-old girl.

Have you had to fight for a part?
Emma: Not exactly. But after auditioning for Sofia [Coppola], I didn’t hear from her for a while. I thought, Oh my God, I really want this part, so I wrote her an e-mail being like, “Look, I know I’m not the obvious choice, I couldn’t be more unlike the girl you’d probably cast in this, and I appreciate that I have a lot of work to do, but I feel really passionate about this. Please, would you just consider me?” And I got an e-mail back saying, “You already got it.”

Are there certain types of roles you particularly want to play?
Emma: Eventually I’d love to do something where I get to sing, even though it would be terrifying.

Do you think you’re hitting your stride at a time when women’s roles are getting more diverse?
Emma: Definitely. That’s one of the reasons why it was such an honor to work with Sofia—she writes such complicated, interesting female roles. I think there’s a shift, thanks to movies like Bridesmaids and people like Lena Dunham and Emma Stone. There’s a space for female characters that are more than two-dimensional, an understanding that we can be lots of different things at once. We can be funny, we can be a little [messed]-up—it’s not just about being the martyr, the smart one or the dumb blond.

Fantastic interview from ELLE! I especially love her last answer. She is also helping to break that stereotype by choosing such a variety of roles. All of her roles have been so different and show that actresses can do different things.

^I totally agree with you. I loved her response to the last question, it's so eloquent, and I love how Emma cite's other women/movies that are changing the way women are portrayed in the media. Us women have to support each-other, and it's nice to see someone like Emma (who a lot of young women look up to) making statements like this. But then again, she's called herself a feminist before, so she's totally cool in my book.

She looks lovely, but her posture is another story.

she looks great! (^truth about her posture)

 

[Miloux]

Stunning!

 

[sobriquet87]

Gorgeous! Very chic! Also, I finally saw her Perks of Being a Wallflower and all I have to say is wow!! She killed it as Sam. The chemistry between the cast was just perfect.
