Emma Watson: "I still need to show people what I can do outside of Harry Potter. I’m getting there"

[Version française]










There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Noah, both good and bad.

The producers did a lot of research and came up with many different versions of the script. The biggest problem is that in the Bible, Noah’s story is like half a page. So basically, we made a three-hour movie out of three paragraphs.

Your character Ila has dreadlocks. How did that come about?

We decided to use hair extensions, which was actually quite difficult because at the time, my real hair was really short. The good thing is that we didn’t have showers or bathrooms on set, so it worked out fine in the end.

How would you describe the movie?

Personally, I find Noah’s story a little bit cheesy. But when the screenplay is written by someone like Darren Aronofsky you know you’re going to be doing something special. I’d say the movie is more of a study of people who find themselves in a futuristic, apocalyptic world.

What is your biggest challenge right now?

Prove that I am no longer Hermione. I need to be able to be good, bad, bold or innocent in whatever role I take on. But I still need to show people what I can do outside of Harry Potter. I don’t think I’m quite there yet, but I’m getting there.

What’s the best thing about being in your early 20s?

I’m no longer scared to take on new roles. I’m more confident and more focused now than I used to be, and I’ve also learned that not everything in life is about work. Fame has the power to blur reality. That’s why I chose to take a step back and go study, and gave myself the space to think about what I really wanted to do. Right now I’ve gone back into the acting world with a different mindset.

You’re studying as well as working. How is university going?

I’ll be graduating from Brown University in May and I’m glad I took the time out to study. I have the rest of my life to make movies and I feel like I learned a lot just by living alone in another country. I feel like I’m at the stage where I now have a healthy balance between my professional and personal life.
