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:

Well, JK Rowling got kids to start reading books again.
And now Emma Watson will get them to start reading Playboy.

Ahh... the magic of reading.

[AddictedToHope]

Reading Playboy? Well, maybe the party jokes.

Emma, you are a beautiful young woman. You do NOT need to prove anything by taking off your clothes.

[That Guy]

But it wouldn't hurt....

[roblabrousse]

Maybe that thought came into her head because almost every movie now a days contains some reveal of flesh. Art imitates life. Life imitates art. She was saying she wasn't prudish about going nudish.!!!!!

[Lex10]

All I can hear is, "Disrobium totalis!"

She's still making movies for kids - she should shoosh. Of course that hasn't stopped any of the hillbilly child stars in the US from dancing in their underwear or getting knocked up. They should all shoosh.

[vinceoffer]

What does this "shoosh" mean?

[dreadylocks]

I believe it is a combination of shh and hush with an accent spelled out.... :P
a.k.a. it means shut up

[charon]

I think nudity is overused in films to tittilate. I hate meaningless nude scenes. The only good thing about such nude scenes for young actresses is so they have a record of their beautiful youthfulness for their grandkids to see. "See, I was once young and beautiful, too!" they can tell them. This can, however, be done with a private photoshoot just as well, without exploiting their bodies for money.

Excuse me !!!
That sounds a bit weird !!!

[firelord5000]

That sounds really weird, grandma showing her kids naked pics is not very nice.

[shengirl]

I want to see Dumbedore nekkid. THAT should prove what a serious actor he is, right?

[Madmac]

all right, all right, all right.

[shengirl]

And that would prove what, exactly?

[chicago25624]

That ought to make Harry's wand stand up

[hortonhearsawho]

Here, allow me to help...

[SolarPowerGuy]

Emma -- if you want to take something off, you can start with that excess eye makeup.

[owlsocks]

Yeah, that IS some seriously weird-looking makeup she's sporting.

Cute young lady though.

[nornny]

Please don't do it Emma. We can all see clearly that you are turning into a beautiful woman. We don't need to see your naked lady parts to believe it.

[Wilbur]

Who are "we?" Speak for yourself!

[jlab]

As anybody with children old enough to drag you to a Potter movie knows, this girl is one of the most annoying people alive. I'm pretty sure she couldn't take THAT off.

[Rimser]

Is it possible that Emma Watson isn't Hermione Granger personality-wise?

[ladycubsfan]

Don't do it, Emma!!! My 14-year-old son has a crush on you as it is. You'll only make his awkward, teenage life more painful. lol. I can't get him out of his room enough already.

[hortonhearsawho]

tell him dominoes can't deliver today,,,that will get him out, well, for a few anyway.

[MetalCanuck]

It will not make it painful I assure you:)

[AndyDandy]

Bernardo Bertolucci.... imagine Emma instead of Eva Green in The Dreamers lol.

[ryanpage]

she looks pretty but not sexy
