Emma Watson has spent most of her life in the spotlight. At the age of nine, she beat out thousands of competitors to play Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ films.
Despite being one of the most famous stars in the world, Emma Watson has always been private about her personal life. There is not much information about her personal life on the internet. Watson has revealed that her personal life is not nearly as exciting as her fans think.
Watson has had to work hard to maintain an identity of her own. The Bling Ring actress has shared that she wants people to stop expecting things when they see her in movies. So she makes sure to keep her personal life private. However, Watson occasionally gives fans a glimpse into her true personality. According to Emma Watson, she has been extremely sensitive since she was very young.
Emma Watson is serious and mature from a young age
‘I was always a very serious kid,’ Watson told W Magazine. She added: ‘I remember when I was 13, most of my friends were in relationships. But I just thought it was stupid. I felt like I was too young to really understand what love was. It was a waste of time.
Drinking, dressing sexy or smoking was never exciting or appealing to me. I just wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22. I couldn’t care less. I never felt like I was in a rush to grow up or be seen as a normal woman.’
Emma Watson is sensible and boring
It seems that Watson’s sensibilities have only increased with age. Even with millions of dollars at her disposal, she still makes very practical choices.
Emma Watson’s first car, for example, wasn’t something flashy like a Mercedes or Lexus. Instead, she opted for a very affordable Toyota Prius. ‘I love the Prius, even though my friends say it’s ugly. They joke that I drive a brick. And, to be fair, it’s not the prettiest car on the road, but it’s good for the environment. It’s sensible and boring – just like me,’ Watson told Interview magazine.
Frustration with false assumptions about her personal life
Watson describes herself and her personal life as boring, so she sometimes gets irritated by the assumptions about her on the internet. Although the Harry Potter series made her a child star, her life has always been structured and never exciting to others. She is always busy filming and promoting her films.
‘I used to be frustrated by the stigma about child stars that I felt when talking to journalists. I think it was because I lived such a sheltered life. I always had a driver to pick me up and take me to events. I mostly just socialized with my co-stars. Then I would get back in my car to go home, and the same thing would happen again the next day,’ Watson shared in an interview.
Clearly, Watson’s personal life is not as glamorous or exciting as fans think. However, being reasonable and boring seems to have helped the actress maintain her reputation in a showbiz full of temptations and pitfalls.
