Screenwriter of the Oscar-winning Chicago and director of the final of the Twilight franchise, Bill Condon, begins filming the next version of Beauty and the Beast. It will be a musical based on the famous cartoon. The role of Belle was given to Emma Watson. You will find out interesting facts about her by reading our article dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the actress.
A bunch of awards and lots of portraits
Although Emma was born in France, near Paris, it was in the UK that she became a famous actress and model. Alas, her parents divorced, and a five-year-old girl went with her mother to England.
The list of awards for which Watson was nominated has long exceeded fifty, for example, three times she was nominated for the MTV Kiss of the Year Award (with different actors), but, alas, the award always eluded the beauty. But she managed to win 20 other awards, however, she has neither the Oscars, nor the Golden Globes, we hope that the actress has this triumph yet to come.
A few years ago (Emma celebrated her twentieth birthday then), the British painter Mark Demsteder presented the Potteriana star with a whole collection of her portraits. All these canvases migrated to the London Panter & Hall Gallery.
Modest millionaire
Emma got the role of Hermione, not being engaged in children's acting studios, although she appeared on the school stage a couple of times, and in junior classes she won the competition for readers.
Emma had no affair with any of the cult franchise partners - contrary to all the rumors. She admitted that if she liked anyone of all the Hogwarts apprentices, it was Tom Felton. True, at a very young age - 12-13 years old.
Thanks to the "Potterians," Watson became one of the celebrities whose name appeared in the Guinness Book of Records: in 2009, the "salary" of the star allowed her to be the highest paid actress in the past 10 years.
Acting in the role of a thief in the drama "Elite Society", Watson visited the Paris Hilton mansion (according to the script, people craving for the "beautiful" life of the girl make their way there). She was shocked by the huge number of shoes of different styles and stripes and said that she herself was much less - they say she had 8 pairs of shoes. An enviable modesty for a millionaire!
Gloss Heroine
She holds another record: Emma became the youngest girl to adorn the cover of Teen Vogue (the famous gloss about teenage fashion).
According to Glamor, Emma led the list of the most stylish stars in the UK (it was in 2011), ahead of recognized fashionistas and “style icons” (among them were Victoria Beckham, legendary fashion model Kate Moss, actress Kristen Stewart and singer Cheryl Cole )
But “Empire” a couple of years ago included the Briton in another list - the sexiest beauties, and Watson was again on the first line!
When the shooting in the "Potterian" came to an end, Emma decided to say goodbye to the bored image of the clever Hermione and changed her image by cutting her hair short. But, apparently, everyone was so used to the long-haired actress that she had to put up with such a hairstyle. Or maybe you just needed it for the movie Noah?
The circle of interests of the British star
The British star is also very unpretentious in food. Do you know what her favorite dish is? Heinz Tomato Soup! And she will not refuse chocolate fritters, cakes, toasts and shrimp crackers. Not very useful! But with all this, Emma manages to be slim.
Contrary to popular belief that Emma is very similar to her Hermione, the actress is not at all such a "nerd." And of all school subjects, she preferred physical education, art, and also English and history.
Watson's favorite artists include Pink, Eric Clapton and jazz singer Norah Jones, and she respects the talents of her colleagues (Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Johnny Depp).
Emma loves the films Dirty Dancing, Gladiator, Amelie, Beauty, Eleven Ocean Friends, Pride and Prejudice, Four Weddings and One Funeral, Braveheart, Finding Nemo Cartoons and the first two parts of Shrek. An interesting set, right?
From books, the actress prefers the work of the British, Mallory Blackman and Philip Pullman, well, and, of course, I read the whole "potteriana"!
Another interesting fact about Emma Watson: she is a cat-pet. In her house lived three cats, to whom she gave funny nicknames (for example, Bubble).
Not only a beauty, but also a smart girl!
She listens very carefully to the instructions of the directors, carefully prepares for the next scene, which is why she can be proud of the nickname "Watson-one take."
Now she is a certified actress: in 2008, she graduated from the London Academy of Acting.
But this girl did not seem enough, and in 2014 she became a bachelor of English literature, defending her diploma at Brown University.
Emma is fighting for women's rights, and for this she won the honorary post of UN Goodwill Ambassador.

Favorite Harry Potter Book - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Emma was born in Paris
She lived in Paris with a family of up to 5 years. Can speak a little French, but not very fluently.
I almost refused to continue filming in Harry Potter
Watson once said in an interview that filming and promotions take up most of the time, and she does not have time to engage in other hobbies and interests. But she added that she would hate herself for leaving the last few films.
Once broke into the hotel pool at 3 a.m.
She had a party with her friends and decided to climb over the fence to get into the hotel pool. Probably a drunken mistake.
Admitted that she was in love with actor Tom Felton
During the filming of Harry Potter, Emma admitted that she was in love with Tom Felton. She says she was fascinated by the fact that he was several years older and had a skateboard. Tom knew about her feelings, but treated her like a younger sister.

She auditioned eight times before getting the role of Hermione
Emma auditioned directors eight times before they finally approved the image of Hermione.
Favorite Dessert - Blueberry Pancakes
With this dessert, Emma loves to feast on the Little Dom’s in Los Angeles and does so at every opportunity.

Favorite cocktail - gin and tonic
Well, what can I add? For many fans it was a big surprise to find out that the airy, sweet, gentle Englishwoman takes alcohol)))
Favorite Hotel - Berkeley London
I must say, in this addiction Emma Watson was not original. Berkeley is a favorite vacation spot with Leonardo DiCaprio and the great Madonna. The actress first stayed there during the Harry Potter junket. Then she fell in love with the spaghetti Bolognese served in the restaurant and the wonderful spa complex. Hotel Berkeley can be considered chic and fashionable without a stretch. Located in an old mansion, it is the result of the work of eminent designers who did not spare the imagination for exquisite decoration made of noble materials. However, it is better to see once))
The main weakness is sweet
Emma Watson has repeatedly admitted that she loves sweets. Moreover, she loves sugar in any form. What is even more surprising when you look at a star figure. Slender, plastic Emma either flirts and doesn’t allow herself more than a piece of chocolate a week, or she’s off the weight machines)))
The best gift - scented candle
And you can’t argue with that. The gift is truly universal. It can be presented both to a girlfriend, and to a loved one and even to the boss. And most importantly - with such a gift you can elegantly emphasize the warmest feelings. Emma chooses exclusive handmade candles.
