Emma Watson was a guest on the Ellen Show earlier this week where she discussed a myriad of topics. A couple videos of the appearance may be seen below:
Elle has also posted a behind the scenes look at their Women in Hollywood feature and Emma’s segment may be seen throughout the video.
Emma Watson was featured as one of Elle Magazine’s Women of Hollywood 2012. They have posted a new photo as well as a snippet from her feature in the magazine:
“I put one of the Potter films on the other night,” she says. “And it was amazing to me that I had done all of that. I have to remind myself every now and then.”
SnitchSeeker have also uncovered part of her interview that will be featured in the November issue of the magazine, the interview also includes a quote from The Bling Ring director Sophia Coppola.
Sofia Coppola on Emma in The Bling Ring:
“She transformed into the part,” Coppola says. “She could switch back and forth between a posh British accent and a slutty Valley Girl, just like that. Oh, and I was really impressed by her hip-hop dancing.”
Emma’s take on the upcoming comedy, The End of the World:
“It was essentially a stand-up-comedy situation,” she says. “So for me, it was like landing on Mars. I was like, ‘I can’t do this, this is mad,’ but eventually I just kind of let go. I have no idea where I got half the stuff that came out of my mouth.”
Emma teasing about Guillermo del Tor’s Beauty and the Beast adaptation:
“He’s obsessed with the idea of creating worlds,” she says. “We’re even going to have this amazing language that we made up.”
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.
Total Film has posted a new video interview with Emma Watson where she discusses The Perks of Being a Wallflower, her future projects (Noah, The Bling Ring, Beauty and the Beast) and more!
Full footage of Emma’s appearance on Anderson Live, which aired today, is now available online and may be watched below. Emma appeared with her Perks of Being a Wallflower costars Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller.
