Emma Watson is best known
for her role of Hermione and even though she might be done with that role, she
can’t get away from the fact that it’s just part of her. She’s also a very
smart woman, she wants to be more than just an actress, she fights for equality,
she starts campaigns for change, she has her own book club and she keeps
striving to make the world a better place. So let’s find out some interesting
facts about Emma.
1. What Is Emma Watson’s Full Name?
Most of us came to know
her first as Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter films. But then we grew up
and learned the name of the actress who played Hermione and we now know her as
Emma Watson. But her full name is Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson. How fancy does
that sound?
2. What Is Emma Watson’s Age?
Emma is 29 years old, she
was born on April 15th, 1990. And while she’s one of the best known English
actresses and she is definitely British, she was actually born in Paris, France
and lived there until she was 5. Her parents then decided to move back to
England and so from age 5, she lived in Great Britain. She can speak a little
French, but she’s nowhere near fluent.
3. Emma Watson’s Education
Emma Watson knew she
wanted to be an actress from an early age. So she went to Dragon School in
Oxford and also trained part-time at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre
Arts school. She was on her school’s dance team and a field hockey team. Later
on, when she began working on Harry Potter she received tutoring on set, and in
classic Hermione fashion, she got the most tutoring hours on set (up to 5 hours
a day). By the time she was old enough for higher education she was already
world-famous thanks to her acting career, but she still chose to go to the University
and entered Brown University in America. She also was a visiting student at
Worcester College, Oxford for a year. So while it took her longer than usual to
finish her degree because of the nature of her job, she still graduated with a
bachelor’s degree in English literature from Brown University. On top of that,
she’s a certified meditation and yoga instructor.
4. How Tall Is Emma Watson?
Emma Watson looks like a
relatively petite lady but she’s of average height. She’s 165 cm tall, which is
almost 5 feet 5 inches. Funnily enough, it’s the same height as her Harry
Potter co-star – Daniel Radcliffe. And while that’s average for ladies,
unfortunately for Dan it’s quite short for a man.
5. What Is Emma’s Hobby?
Emma’s hobby isn’t that
strange per se. She likes journaling. But the way she goes about it is kind of
weird. Instead of just journaling in one journal at a time she has about 30
journals all dedicated to different things. One for personal life, one for
dreams, one for yoga and meditation, one for work, one for people she’s met,
etc. Who needs 30 journals? Well, the girl who played Hermione, of course.
6. Who Does Emma Watson Have A Secret Crush On?
Emma has admitted that when she was young she had a secret crush on her co-star Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter movies. At the time Tom thought of her as a sister and good friend so it didn’t go anywhere, plus they were only kids. These days they keep being linked together and showing up on each other’s Instagram, so fans are still hoping they’ll get together.
