NY Times Article on Perks of Being a Wallflower

2011-10-13T10:28:00.002-04:00

The NY Times released an article with photos.

From Wizards to Wallflowers in the Suburbs

NOBODY ever got through high school without being a little aimless and more than a little dramatic. Not so long ago Emma Watson discovered that for herself. Ms. Watson was in this leafy suburb of Pittsburgh, a 30-minute drive from the glass-and-steel downtown, filming a movie that’s set at Peters Township High School. Every day she arrived at the sprawling campus, with its swim team and banners promoting reading, to experience the youthful rites that, as the Oxfordshire-bred star of the “Harry Potter” franchise from age 10 to 20, had otherwise eluded her.

“Oh my goodness, so many firsts,” she said, speaking in an excited rush during a break from filming. “I did the prom! We all get dressed up and we go in a limo, and get photographs. It’s been really fun for me to get to graduate. Eating in the school canteen; all these things that I’ve always sort of said to my American friends, ‘Oh, that looks amazing, that looks so fun, I’m jealous.’ And I get to do it for this movie.”

The film, an adaptation of the young-adult novel “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” a beloved coming-of-age tale published in 1999, will be the next starring role for Ms. Watson, 21, and practically her first that doesn’t involve a cast of wizards and trolls. Though she earned legions of young fans as the plucky Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” series (and as the fashion-forward face of several luxury brands), Ms. Watson has never played a regular girl, let alone a suburban American.

Set loosely in the pre-Internet age of the early ’90s, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” which is due in theaters next year, is the closest Ms. Watson has come to playing a contemporary character not too far removed from herself, she said. It’s not a grown-up role, but carrying the film — helping get it made at all — is a newfound adult responsibility.

Like her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, Ms. Watson has been defined by J. K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter,” with audiences watching her mature, as a person and a performer. Now multimillionaires, the cast mates “have grown into nimble actors, capable of nuances of feeling that would do their elders proud,” A. O. Scott wrote in his review of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” in The New York Times. “One of the great pleasures of this penultimate ‘Potter’ movie is the anticipation of stellar post-‘Potter’ careers for all three of them.”

Mr. Radcliffe is now making his name in theater, currently appearing in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” on Broadway; Mr. Grint has a slate of films. And Ms. Watson’s move away from “Potter” begins with “My Week With Marilyn,” a micro-biopic starring Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, which is scheduled to premiere at the New York Film Festival on Sunday. In shoulder-length brown hair and red lipstick, Ms. Watson has a small part as the wardrobe girl who gets involved with Laurence Olivier’s assistant on the set of his film with Monroe, “The Prince and the Showgirl.” There is some charged repartee and some smooching before she inevitably loses the boy to Marilyn — a nonmagical romance.

Though she relished the chance to play a young working woman — “It’s definitely important to do something that I feel is stretching me,” she said — Ms. Watson spent only a few days on set for “Marilyn,” nothing like the time and preparation that “Perks” entailed. “It’s been the most intense five weeks of my life,” she said in an interview in the school library, toward the end of shooting this summer. Holed up on location immediately after wrapping the “Potter” series, and playing Sam, a feisty, precocious high school senior on the cusp of a new life, was, she said, unexpectedly cathartic. “I really lost myself in it,” she said with pleasure.

“Perks” had something of the same effect on Stephen Chbosky, the writer (of the book and the movie) and first-time director. Mr. Chbosky, a native of Pittsburgh, began writing the slim novel in college and returned to it in earnest at 26, when he finally moved out of his parents’ house. Told in letters by a shy loner, Charlie (played by Logan Lerman, star of “Percy Jackson & the Olympians”), it follows him, Sam and her stepbrother, Patrick (Ezra Miller, soon to be an indie heartthrob), as they navigate the perils of adolescence in 1991. It has the requisite era-specific pop-culture references (the Smiths’ “Asleep”; midnight screenings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”) and deals with thorny subjects like sexual abuse, suicide, drug use and homosexuality: “The Catcher in the Rye” crossed with “Go Ask Alice” for an emo generation.

It was a quick sensation after it was published, earning cult status and a place on many school reading lists. Mr. Chbosky, 41, moved from Pittsburgh to New York and then Los Angeles to work in TV and movies. He wrote the screenplay for the film version of “Rent,” but is best known as the show runner on “Jericho,” a short-lived CBS series set in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. (“I love my Stephen King” was his explanation for his ranging tastes.)

Though he recalled being a well-liked athlete in high school, “on the inside I was a misfit kid,” he said. Afraid to participate in “Rocky Horror” himself, he had Charlie do it in “Perks.” Mr. Chbosky said he had many offers to turn the book into a movie over the years, but resisted unless he could direct it himself. “It was so personal,” he said. “I’ve seen the effect the book has had on certain kids who’ve seen bad things. Some of their stories, which they’ve told me in letters, would break your heart.” He didn’t mind waiting and treating the material preciously.

“I don’t need the money,” he said, eating chocolate cake in the school cafeteria during an interview. “What I need is for that 14-year-old kid to know they have a chance.”

“Perks” found the right collaborator in John Malkovich’s production company, Mr. Mudd, which has made other indie films about adolescents and oddballs, like “Ghost World” and “Juno.” “I asked our assistant if there was any book he could turn into a movie, and he named this book,” said Lianne Halfon, a partner in Mr. Mudd. “We’d never heard of it.” Once news of a potential adaptation got out, Ms. Halfon said, she too was inundated with e-mails from fans of the book, people who were “lonely in their families,” as she put it. “For them this book is very important.”

Nonetheless the film version did not have the necessary financing until Ms. Watson came on board. She went to Los Angeles and promoted her interest in it; eventually Summit Entertainment, flush with cash from distributing the “Twilight” series, picked it up. “That I could get a movie made is kind of incredible to me,” Ms. Watson said. “It’s the first time I realized I had that kind of power.”

Although the geography is vague in the book, Mr. Chbosky insisted that the film be shot in Pittsburgh, as a tribute to his hometown. (“I finally was able to put the words ‘chicken paprikash’ in a movie,” he said.) Costumes were culled from local thrift stores, and an architectural quirk of the city — a surprise vista that emerges from the Fort Pitt Tunnel, of the downtown skyline gleaming over the city’s three rivers — plays a big part, as it does in the book.

On location the cast, which includes the young stars Nina Dobrev of “The Vampire Diaries” and Mae Whitman of the series “Parenthood,” and Paul Rudd as the sensitive teacher, jelled quickly. As he is on screen, Mr. Miller, 18, was the bad-boy dreamer. “When I first got here, I did decide that some of the co-stars needed a solid does of corruption,” he said, smoking on a bench outside the school.

Mr. Lerman, 19, a Beverly Hills High student and natural showbiz type who religiously watches “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” prepared for his wallflower part by going Method. “I came out here a week and a half early and just stayed in my hotel room,” he said. “It was perfect for creating that social awkwardness.”

And Ms. Watson, accustomed to acting alongside people and in a story she had known for a decade, “started freaking out,” she said. She threw herself into research, e-mailing friends about their high school experiences and worrying about how to create a bond with this new, unfamiliar clique. (Shades of the encyclopedic Hermione are there, and of Ms. Watson’s semesters at Brown University, where she plans to return to complete her undergraduate degree.)

But studiousness wasn’t necessary. They just hung out. They formed a hotel-room band: Mr. Miller drummed, Mr. Lerman played guitar, and Ms. Watson sang. They jokingly called themselves Octopus Jam. Friends dropped by; noise complaints followed. Before she knew it, the world of Hogwarts had receded.

“That’s a different chapter of my life, which, kind of through doing this, feels like it’s closed,” she said. She pointed to a scene in “Perks” as symbolic of her new beginning: standing in the back of a pickup truck, she and her high school crew take a late-night joyride through the Fort Pitt Tunnel, the city lights shining on the other end.

“Summit didn’t want me to do the stunt, but I insisted,” she said, even though she was scared. “The car’s moving at 60 miles per hour, I had one little thing attaching me to the truck,” she recalled. She ended up going through seven or eight times, screaming her guts out. “Oh my God, it was so fun,” she said. “One of the best nights of my life, without a doubt.”

Perks of Being a Wallflower article with photos

2011-10-13T10:24:00.002-04:00

Post_Gazette released another article about Perks of Being a Wallflower with new Emma quotes and photos.

In case you were a little bleary eyed over your Breakfast Smile platter, that really was Emma Watson at the Eat'n Park, winding down after a long day of filming.

It was one of her haunts -- along with the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bethel Park, which she called home -- for part of the spring and summer while filming "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" in Pittsburgh.

"The shooting schedule's been kind of crazy. It's such a great group of people, and we all got so close that we mainly just hang out at the Crowne Plaza -- I'm serious -- and we play music," she said in late June in Peters Township.

(Summit Entertainment just released the first photos from the movie set to arrive in theaters in 2012.)

"Pretty much everyone that's part of the cast is musically talented in some way, so we spent most of our evenings playing music and just talking and just being silly. I've been to Eat'n Park a few times. A bunch of times, actually."

She would usually go after filming when it was late and the place was quiet. "I haven't had too much time to do anything but everyone's been so friendly," she said.

The 21-year-old plays high school senior Sam in the movie version of the novel about Charlie, a brilliant but sensitive 15-year-old who pours into letters his feelings about first-time emotions and experiences, perceptive observations about the people around him and, eventually, heartrending memories that surface.

Logan Lerman stars as Charlie and the cast also features Nina Dobrev as Charlie's overachieving older sister; Dylan McDermott and Kate Walsh as their parents; Ezra Miller as Sam's stepbrother, also a senior; Mae Whitman as a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" enthusiast who asks Charlie to a Sadie Hawkins' dance; Johnny Simmons as a closeted jock; and Paul Rudd as an English teacher.

Author Stephen Chbosky, an Upper St. Clair native, is directing the film and wrote the screenplay.

As Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" series, Ms. Watson may have anchored a successful, beloved movie franchise, but she had the jitters about playing a suburban Pittsburgh teen.

"I was very nervous before we started shooting. I was very nervous about the American accent," she told a handful of reporters outside Peters Township High School. It doubles as Mill Grove High School in the story set largely in 1991-92.

Some of her cast mates, after all, had life experiences much like their movie characters -- dances, football games, pep rallies and even graduation in white gowns (for the girls) and black gowns (for the boys) and matching mortarboards.

"They went to an American high school, they know what prom looks like, all these little details that I had no idea about. So I was a little neurotic.

"My script was covered in notes about all these American words, American slang. I was quizzing my friends about high school and prom and everything, and then Steve was just like, 'Emma, this is great and everything, but you just really need to let all of that go' because he said he saw me as Sam, and it was kind of as simple as that."

In fact, before she even met with Mr. Chbosky, he had put together a bible of what he wanted the movie's visuals to look like and he used her photos for Sam.

She acknowledges an element of paranoia that a director might hire her only because of her "Harry Potter" following or some other reason, "so it really meant a lot to me that there was no one else for this role."

In fact, later that afternoon during an interview in the school library that would double as a set the next day, the director-writer spelled out why he cast Ms. Watson.

"She's luminous but she's also incredibly approachable, she's very down to earth, she's very fragile but in this very beautiful way. For me, that's all the qualities I always saw in Sam. Plus, she can dance. The girl can dance."

To hear her tell it, however, she and co-star Miller had a homecoming dance that terrified her. She had to do a "crazy, full-on dance" for 30 seconds that felt like two minutes in front of 300 extras.

On this day, Ms. Watson was dressed as Sam in a scoop-necked, sleeveless short blue dress with a floral pattern, small golden anchor earrings, a necklace with a single gold star and crocheted-fabric espadrilles with a jute platform wedge.

Her hair, which she famously cut after finishing the final Potter movie, was still short but parted on the side and growing in. She isn't the lead of "Perks" but has gotten the lion's share of fan attention and makes an enthusiastic, charming ambassador for it.

When she first told her then-roommates at Brown University that she had just read an amazing script for "Perks," her friends gasped at how that had been a favorite book. She initially didn't realize the cult following the novel had, much like the Potter series.

Being able to work with the book author turned writer-director fed Ms. Watson's compulsive nature or "a little bit OCD" when it comes to her material. As Hermione, she was such a big fan of the books that she became "a Harry Potter dictionary."

So any time she wanted to ask Mr. Chbosky anything, he was right there.

"He can create new dialogue with me on the spot and we can adapt and that's been the great thing about him, too, is that he realized he is making something new. Obviously he wants to be true to the spirit of the book, [but] he understands it's a movie, it's different. He's created something new with different actors."

The book and movie pay homage to the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and cast and crew attended a screening at the Hollywood Theater in Dormont before shooting the real thing there.

"Steve got us all together one night and we all went to the Pittsburgh floor show, and it was hysterical. We had so much fun. It was great." The newbies were hiding in the balcony so they weren't "initiated," but they did throw toilet paper into the audience (as a character utters the line "Great Scott!")

Moving from a blockbuster franchise to a small movie brings a far faster pace.

"The hours and the days, it's full on. I mean, I have no time to do anything else other than basically go home, sleep, eat, shower and get ready for the next day. ... Everyone gets so close because we're on location together."

Being on location also meant Ms. Watson could beg to participate in a key scene in the movie that she calls "hands down, one of the best moments of my life. Definitely."

"Summit [Entertainment] didn't want me to do the stunt. I was not meant to do it at all, and I begged Stephen. I said, 'I really, really want to do this.' "

So that's how the world-famous actress found herself standing as a car traveled at 50 to 60 miles per hour, and she was tethered with a single cord and proved that not all magic comes at the hands of a wand from Ollivanders Wand Shop.

"I had one string but hands in the air, all the way through the tunnel coming out the other end. The first time I did it, I was so emotional I cried. It was really special and beautiful, and seeing the shot of what it's going to look like, it's going to blow your mind. ... It's stunning and Steve knew when he conceptualized it that it would be amazing, but I think it exceeded even his expectations.

"What a great moment."

Cute Emma Watson article about her stay in Pittsburgh

2011-10-13T10:19:00.000-04:00

The Post-Gazette has a cute article about Emma using a local dance studio when she was in Pittsburgh filming Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Lori Javornick and Michelle Dawson kept a Hollywood-sized secret for six weeks.

As dance students and their parents cycled through The Academy of Dance by Lori on Mt. Lebanon's Washington Road, actress Emma Watson, best known as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, conducted dance workouts undetected in an empty studio.

Ms. Watson, 21, was in the Pittsburgh area from April to June to film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," a movie based on the book by Upper St. Clair native Stephen Chbosky.

She and other cast members stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Bethel Park during filming, and when Ms. Watson and her assistant searched for a place where she could exercise without attracting attention, they spotted the dance studio.

Neither Ms. Javornick, the artistic director for the academy, nor Ms. Dawson, the co-artistic director, had heard of Ms. Watson when her assistant contacted them about providing dance space for the movie star.

"I think that's why she liked us so much," Ms. Dawson said.
They said they would help her use the studio without being spotted by fans or photographers.

The two women told only their spouses -- not their staff, students or other family members or friends -- about their secret mission.

They gave Ms. Watson a key so she could come and go as she pleased, and when their students asked who was using the studio, Ms. Dawson said it was one of her friends from out of town.

One day, a group of parents came to the dance academy early, and Ms. Javornick and Ms. Dawson told the movie star to put on sunglasses when she left so her famous face would be covered.

With one exception -- a paparazzi photograph of Ms. Watson near the studio surfaced -- her presence in the studio remained a secret, even though dozens of her fans -- teen and pre-teen girls -- were dancing in other rooms of the studio day and kept in the dark until after Ms. Watson left Pittsburgh.

"They just couldn't believe it when we told them," Ms. Dawson said.

Last month, the dance company moved to a new spot in the former basement of the Borders bookstore on Highland Drive in Bethel Park.

Ms. Javornick and Ms. Dawson plan to display photographs signed by Ms. Watson in their new lobby as a reminder of weeks she spent with their studio.

"It was a whirlwind experience for us," Ms. Dawson said.

As they got to know her, the two directors forgot she was a movie star and came to think of Ms. Watson as one of their regular students.

But there were a few big reminders that she wasn't a typical student, such as when she sent them text messages to say she wouldn't be at the studio because she was flying to Los Angeles for the MTV Movie Awards.

During her time in Pittsburgh, they gave Ms. Watson, who went by "Em," advice about where to eat and visit when she wasn't filming, and they even tried to find her a special kind of milk she wanted.

Ms. Watson felt so comfortable at the studio she convinced the rest of the cast to rehearse a dance scene there rather than at a Downtown location. So, the dance academy played host to the entire cast, including actor Logan Lerman and Mr. Chbosky, the director.

"It was just a fun energy to have in our space, and it was fun to get to know the cast," Ms. Dawson said.

As a thank you to the two women, Ms. Watson invited Ms. Dawson, Ms. Javornick and her daughter Lauren,10, to watch her shoot a scene at Peters Township High School.

As an extra thanks, after filming ended, Ms. Watson's New York City-based trainer taught a special class for several of the dance academy's students.

Perks Of Being A Wallflower Sneak Peek by MTV

2011-09-29T13:20:00.001-04:00

This a must see for all Perks of Being a Wallflower fans. MTV has a behind-the-scene video that reveals that Emma can dance! Plus there are nice interviews with Emma and her co-stars. MTV selected Emma as most likely to win an Oscar.

The post-"Harry Potter" education of Emma Watson began, in a way, at Brown University. Searching for her first film after completing the boy-wizard franchise, the Ivy League actress found some unlikely career advisors in the form of her fellow college students, who told her that she simply had to sign up for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," an adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's seminal novel.

"Honestly, I had never read the book before, but a lot of my friends at Brown were hugely into it, and when I told them I had this script, they were crazy excited," Watson told MTV News.
And just that like, through the pop-culture schooling of her peers, she'd found a flick to carry her away from Hogwarts and toward a Hollywood second act. It's fitting, then, that with "Perks" on her résumé, we've selected Watson as a member of MTV News' New Class — actors and actresses about to graduate toward greatness. The 21-year-old finds herself in good company on the movie, whose cast contains so many soon-to-break-big talents that we selected a bunch of her co-stars as her New Class cohorts.

We've dubbed Watson "Most Likely to Win an Oscar." Nina Dobrev ("The Vampire Diaries") is our Next Style Icon. Logan Lerman ("Percy Jackson & the Olympians" and the upcoming "Three Musketeers") is Most Likely to Make You Swoon, and Ezra Miller (Sundance eye-opener "Another Happy Day" and Cannes selectee "We Need to Talk About Kevin") is Most Likely to Win an Independent Spirit Award. Together they're bringing a beloved teen novel to the screen. And when we visited the film's Pittsburgh set earlier this year, all four of them were well aware of the expectations surrounding the project and professed themselves lucky to be involved.
"I feel incredible about it. I feel like I've been waiting for 'Perks,' " Watson said. "I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I'm so glad I didn't do anything that I didn't care about."

Watson plays Sam, a high school senior who, along with Miller's Patrick, introduces Lerman's freshman Charlie to a world of sex, drugs and awkward adolescence. "I definitely tapped into some awkward childhood memories for this movie," Lerman explained. "It's been a year and a half since I first signed on to the project, so to be out here making it is a pretty big deal for me. It's cool to be working with this great cast of young actors."
Dobrev, on a break from "Vampire Diaries," echoed those sentiments. "Every hiatus, my goal is to try something different, and this is a small part in a great, fun indie that has a great script," she said of playing Charlie's sister. "It's been fun to meet such great new people. Everyone really gets along and is really friendly and fun."
Their subject matter, it should be said, is not all fun or funny. When when we showed up on set the stars were filming a raucous school-dance sequence set to "Come on Eileen," but "Perks" takes on potentially controversial material about suicide, drug use and sexuality. These may be divisive topics to some, but ask any teen and he or she will say it's all part of their world.

"I don't think there will be one teenager who will watch this and not have one story or one moment that they don't deeply feel they can relate to," Watson said.

Emma Watson French Elle Interview Translated

2011-09-10T19:19:00.000-04:00

It’s 4 pm. The music has been blasting in the studio since 10 am this morning and Emma Watson, 21, is jumping around to a song by the Talking Heads. This morning, she was jumping around to songs by Rihanna and Fleetwood Mac. She came with her iPad so that we could listen to her playlist. At no moment did she complain nor get tired. That which all people of her age group do, she does not, except when sitting at a table where she eats with her eyes locked on to her iPad screen. She knows how to work. A child who, supposedly, was diagnosed with hyperactivity in primary school. Even her look is lively and sparkly: so much intelligence can be felt in and around this young person. The photo shoot is over, everyone applauds Emma. I start asking myself how I’m going to conduct this interview with AC/DC blasting in the background, when she suggests to me that we go outside where it is calmer. Change in ambiance. Here we are below the studio. We eat strawberries in silence. It’s nice. I look at her differently. The little tiny minuscule pimples that are barely noticeable on her forehead. Her eyebrows. Her eyelashes. Her perfect teeth. It’s Emma Watson, famous worldwide since the age of 12. On the cover of Teen Vogue at the age of 15. Her hand imprints in Hollywood at 18. Her fashion icon status since 2010 (according to UK Glamour). Her status as highest grossing actress of the decade. An impressive fortune at her entire and sole disposition for about a year. Her teenage clothing line, Love from Emma. So many fans that even Lancome, who hired her to be the face of their new perfume Tresor Midnight Rose, is in shock. In 15 days, the new muse had about 15 million articles written about her on the web. She keeps up the buzz on Twitter and Facebook. In addition, the girl plays the game, she keeps up the buzz on Twitter and Facebook, and is making Lancome a relatable brand. Emma Watson makes you want to live life. Her life. Even I want to smell like Hermione. It is even rumored that little girls in the entire world want to go to college just because Emma does. The reason this young girl has such an impact is because she is not easily influenced. First question: “What is easy to decide to become the face of a perfume”? she answers: “I was always a bit wary about exposing myself with out a clearly defined role. However, I looked at the previous women who had worked before me with Lancome. They have never changed anyone. They take you as you are. So I accepted. I decided to trust them.” And in the end the entire campaign shot by Mario Testino shows Emma exactly for whom she is. I ask her why, if she decided to trust, did she want to do her own makeup: “I prefer to do it myself instead of portraying someone else’s image of myself. I started in this business when I was very young and learned that if you don’t want to get eaten alive you have to show who you really are all the time”. This is also one of the reasons why she tweets and has a facebook. Emma lives for the most part far from her parents She prefers to speak for herself rather than let others do it for her. For her make-up, she like adding some eyeliner and mascara behind the professional make up artist’s back. After having done the Burberry campign and now Lancome, she recognizes that being a model is much more difficult than being an actress “because being a model does not come from any source of inspiration in you” Nevertheless, she models very well, just like everything else she does. She says that her strength is that she knew how to stay grounded. Emma lives for the most part far from her parents (who are divorced and remarried: she is the eldest of 7…) since the age of 10. She is also known and recognized everywhere she goes. “I’ve been dreaming for years about meeting people who don’t know who I am, to see what others think I’m worth without knowing anything about me”. She has, in spite of everything, still managed to keep her personal life private. “I learned early on the right reflexes. There are three: watch and learn from other people’s mistakes (everything you shouldn’t do), never go clubbing, and say no very quickly to prying questions.” She struggles with success in order to not be an “it” girl and spends many nights reading and studying for her classes. She’s currently entering her 3 year of history and englsh and does not have a lot of free time (she has two movies coming out My Week With Marilyn and the Perks of Being a Wallflower). She usually borrows clothes for special events as to not worry and if not she invests in simple clothing items, not black “because it’s sad and too easy” and often in French brands “A.P.C, Isabel Marant, and a lot of Agnes b…the obvious things you guys create, you, the French, which such elegance and simplicity. I never manage to be like a French girl, it looks like you are free in everything”. Short Hair, Sweet Victory! About a year ago, Harry Potter having just ended, she asked herself what she would really like to do in order to celebrate. Without telling a soul, she went to the hairdressers. She said: “cut everything”. Obviously, the hairdresser didn’t dare touch Hermione’s hair. She insisted. He cut. “All the experimentation that teens get to do, I couldn’t. At least here I could and did. Short hair, sweet victory!” What do you plan on doing later on? “One day, but really later on, really not any time soon, yes, I’d like to have a family…” She’s also been thinking about writing, she paints…but she is too intelligent to ignore that fact that we can be a little ridiculous saying these things, so she apologizes. She admires Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith. Today, she has an agent, who is here to take Emma wherever she would like, taking into consideration, of course, her meetings and obligations…Bonne Route, smart girl.

Emma Watson for Elle France

2011-09-09T11:22:00.002-04:00

All credit goes to WatsonUncensored. We'll post a translation of the article when it happens. Click on photos to enlarge. We're debating if this is the best photo shoot of the year.

Emma Watson, 21 ans, sautille sur une chanson des Talking Heads
Il est 16 heures. La musique est à fond dans le studio photo depuis 10 heures du matin, et Emma Watson, 21 ans, sautille sur une chanson des Talking Heads. Ce matin, elle sautillait sur Rihanna et Fleetwood Mac. Elle est venue avec son iPad pour qu’on mette sa playlist. A aucun moment, elle ne rouspète ni ne se traîne. Tout ce que les grands ados attardés de son âge font, elle ne le fait pas, sauf à table, où elle mange le nez sur son iPad. Elle sait bosser. Une gosse qui, paraît-il, avait été diagnostiquée hyperactive à l’école primaire. Même le regard est vif, pétillant : tant d’intelligence fuse de cette jeune personne. La séance photo est terminée, tout le monde applaudit Emma. J’en suis à me demander comment je vais faire l’interview avec AC/DC à plein volume, quand elle me propose elle-même de sortir pour nous mettre au calme. Changement d’ambiance. Nous voici en bas du studio, on mange des fraises, en silence. Ça fait du bien. Je la regarde différemment, du coup. Les quelques petits boutons de rien du tout sur le front. La ligne des sourcils. La longueur des cils. Les dents parfaites. C’est Emma Watson, connue dans le monde entier depuis l’âge de 12 ans. La couverture du « Teen Vogue » à 15 ans. L’empreinte de ses mains sur le sol à Hollywood à 18 ans. Son statut de fille la plus stylée de 2010 (selon le « Glamour » anglais). Son statut d’actrice la plus bankable de la décennie. Une véritable fortune à sa disposition depuis un an (la somme de tous ses cachets pour « Harry Potter »). Sa marque de vêtements pour ados, Love from Emma. Tant de fans que même chez Lancôme, qui l’a recrutée pour être l’image du parfum Trésor Midnight Rose, on n’en revient pas. En quinze jours, la nouvelle égérie a eu 15 millions d’articles sur Internet.

Elle joue le jeu, buzze sur Twitter et Facebook
En plus, la gosse joue le jeu, buzze sur Twitter et Facebook, et fait de Lancôme une marque de proximité. Il faut dire qu’Emma Watson donne envie de vivre. Voire de vivre comme elle. Même moi, j’ai envie de me parfumer comme Hermione. Il paraît qu’il y a dans le monde entier des gamines qui veulent faire des études supérieures juste parce que Emma en fait. Reste que si cette jeune fille a tant d’impact, c’est aussi parce qu’elle ne se laisse pas facilement influencer. A la question : « Est-ce que c’était si évident d’accepter d’être l’image d’un parfum ? », elle répond : « J’ai toujours été très nerveuse à l’idée de m’exposer sans être abritée par un rôle. Mais bon, j’ai regardé les femmes qui ont travaillé avant moi pour Lancôme. Ils n’ont jamais changé personne. Ils vous prennent comme vous êtes. Donc, j’ai accepté. J’ai décidé d’avoir confiance. » Et, au fond, toute la campagne réalisée par Mario Testino montre bel (très bel) et bien Emma telle qu’elle est. Je lui demande pourquoi, si elle a confiance, elle a voulu se maquiller elle-même : « Je préfère le faire moi-même plutôt qu’être ce que quelqu’un d’autre imagine de moi. J’ai commencé ce métier très jeune, et j’ai appris que, pour ne pas se faire manger, il faut montrer qui on est en permanence. » C’est aussi pour ça qu’elle twitte, qu’elle parle via son site ou Facebook.

Emma vit la plupart du temps loin de ses parents

Elle préfère prendre la parole pour parler d’elle plutôt que de laisser ce soin aux autres. Question maquillage, elle aime rajouter du noir dans le dos du maquilleur, et aussi du mascara. Après avoir shooté la campagne Burberry et maintenant celle de Lancôme, elle reconnaît que le métier de modèle est beaucoup plus difficile que celui d’actrice « parce que être modèle, ça n’a pas de réelle source en vous ». Toutefois, elle fait ça très bien, comme à peu près tout ce qu’elle fait. Elle dit que sa force, c’est qu’elle a sus’ancrer. Pensez qu’Emma vit la plupart du temps loin de ses parents (par ailleurs divorcés et remariés : elle est l’aînée de sept enfants…) depuis l’âge de 10 ans. Pensez qu’elle est connue et adulée partout dans le monde. « Je rêve depuis des années de rencontrer des gens qui ne savent pas qui je suis, de voir ce que je vaux sans ce qu’on sait de moi. » Pensez qu’elle a malgré tout su préserver sa vie privée : « J’ai pris très tôt les bons réflexes. Il y en a trois : regarder les erreurs des autres (tout ce qu’il ne faut pas faire), ne jamais aller en boîte, et dire non très vite à une question indiscrète. » Elle lutte avec succès pour ne pas être une it girl et passe beaucoup de soirées à lire et à potasser ses cours. Elle entre en troisième année d’histoire et d’anglais, n’a pas beaucoup de temps libre (elle a deux films à venir « My Week with Marilyn », de Simon Curtis, et « The Perks of Being a Wallflower », de Stephen Chbosky). Elle accepte des prêts de vêtements pour des occasions spéciales et pour ne pas se prendre la tête, et sinon elle investit

dans des pièces simples, pas noires « parce que c’est triste et trop facile », et souvent de marques françaises « A.P.C., Isabel Marant, et beaucoup Agnès b… ces choses évidentes que vous savez inventer, vous, les Français, avec votre sobriété et votre élégance. Je n’arrive jamais à être comme une Française, on dirait que vous êtes libres en tout ».

Les cheveux courts, quelle victoire !

Il y a un an, à peine sa mission « Harry Potter » terminée, elle se demande ce qu’elle rêverait de faire pour fêter la fin du cycle. Sans rien dire à personne, elle va chez le coiffeur. Elle dit : « On coupe tout. » Evidemment, le coiffeur n’ose pas toucher à la tête d’Hermione. Elle insiste avec son petit air batailleur. Il coupe. « Toutes les expérimentations des ados, je n’ai pas pu les faire, au moins, là, j’en ai fait une. Les cheveux courts, quelle victoire ! » Que fera-t-elle plus tard ? « Un jour, mais alors vraiment plus tard, pas du tout dans l’immédiat, oui, peutêtre, je fonderai une famille… » Elle songe aussi à écrire, elle peint… mais elle est trop intelligente pour ignorer qu’on peut être un peu ridicule en disant ces choses, donc elle s’en excuse. Elle admire Joni Mitchell et Patti Smith. Aujourd’hui, elle a un agent, qui est là et attend pour emmener Emma où Emma voudra aller, compte tenu, bien sûr, de ses rendez-vous et obligations… Bonne route, smart girl

Emma Watson meets up with Harry Crowder

2011-09-08T11:45:00.001-04:00

Emma did a photo shoot with fellow Oxford native Harry Crowder last winter and he recently promised the wait for those photos is almost over. He tweeted on the 5th he did another photo shoot with Emma.

Harry Crowder : spent the day with emma watson today in london, we shot again, photos look great, we both love them!

Yesterday she met up with him again for breakfast. That isn't too bad considering she was at the GQ Awards the night before. She later was seen leaving her home with luggage presumably heading for the airport.
