Emma Watson: I'd Go Naked

Emma "Hermione" Watson sat down with The Times and told them she's okay to bare all in the name of her craft.

The 18-year-old Chanel model and "Harry Potter" star talked about making the transition from child star to grown-up actress.

"I'm at a strange age... I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl any more. [Film companies] say, 'Oh, in a couple of years you'll be perfect for this.' I'll be like, yeah, but I want to be studying English then, so it's going to be quite tough to choose between the two...

"I have enough to hold me together without fame," she says. "I have a really supportive family and a full life away from Harry Potter. It's unlikely that I'll be part of anything this big ever again, so I need to deal with that. I'm not going to take a job just because, shit, I'm not doing anything else." She still loves acting, naturally -- she would even, steady chaps, go nude. "Yes," she says. "For Bernardo Bertolucci. It . . . depends. I'm not getting my kit off any time soon, but it is part of my job."

Costar Daniel Radcliffe is currently baring all in Equus on Broadway.

Here is Watson at the LA premiere of cartoon 'The Tale of Despereaux' Sunday night:

Ah oh, looks like Lord Voldamort is winning. First Harry in Equus and now this. What's the world coming to? Well, we could do worse. At least Maggie Smith isn't planning on appearing in the all together!
Maybe they all better take some advice from this woman of experience­.

It is obvious that he whose name must not be spoken is back and working his evil magic on our young hero's. This is even more wicked that the Dementor's­.

She's a lovely girl but as someone mentioned what's with the leering photo shots, is that for future considerat­ions? As for posing naked. How many mainstream actresses have actually done that? I can't think of one, however most of them will submit to a kind of soft porn that passes for journalism witness the continuous exposure of the scantily clad Jennifer Aniston on a kazillion magazine covers.

Minstream actresses? You can't think of ONE?!? Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoo­n, Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Meg Ryan, Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon, Halle Berry, and the list goes on and on...

You would have a harder time trying to think of an actress that hasn't gone naked. Kind of sad, seems you must disrobe to get ahead in the entertainm­ent business.

I think you are reading this differentl­y to how I read it. I think she meant that she'd be willing to do a nude scene in a movie, not that she's ready to pose in Playboy.

I love the way that this story has been on the most read list now for at least three days.

She is a cutie... but maybe taking the wrong direction career wise.

That sounds great. We are all too hung up on nudity. Id go nude anytime.
