9 She is too serious
If oversharing may give you fame, being funny can do that, too.
Let’s go back to the examples and use Jennifer Lawrence again. Why Lawrence again? First, as you already know, they are both under thirty. They are both gorgeous. They both were part of movie franchises. Watson was in Harry Potter and Lawrence was in The Hunger Games. Watson did open accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Lawrence doesn’t have social networks, but she is funny. Jennifer Lawrence loves to goof around. She does great impressions. Her speeches are hilarious but deep. She gets excited about other celebrities, and she is not afraid to make a fool of herself. By the way, did you watched her falling on the stairs during the Oscars? Even if she doesn’t have social accounts, she looks approachable.
Emma Watson is too serious, too responsible, too well behaved. She doesn’t seem to laugh a lot. We all enjoy a good joke or impression every now and then. We wish Watson was more open and spontaneous. Her behavior makes us feel on a different level. It is like we are not even allowed to say hello to her. She is in a bubble.
8 She is a feminist icon
Feminism is on the table. It is an important topic among women and men. It is something people talk about in their homes and their work. Feminism is trendy. Is feminism here to stay?
Watson is one of several female celebrities to bring women’s rights issues to the public eye. Beyoncé, Lena Dunham, and Katy Perry are feminists, too. Women have been celebrated and criticized for the positions they have taken. Being a celebrity and a feminist is often a motive for questioning famous women’s actions. Women’s work on different causes has shed public light on a lot of issues.
If Hollywood is dropping Emma Watson, feminism may be the reason. Studios don’t care much about a celebrity’s views on the world. Having a high-profile feminist may be a risk on set. She could question a movie’s plots and dialogues. She could ask for a higher salary. She could talk to the media about their male co-star’s behavior. She could refuse to wear specific clothes. There are a lot of ways in which having a feminist on set could ruin a movie. We suspect Hollywood studios prefer to hire celebrities with flexible moral values.
7 She is too attached to her physique
We all love a good body transformation story, even more, if it involves a celebrity. Most of us would never gain or lose a ridiculous amount of weight in a short period of time. But, if you’re an actor or actress in Hollywood, that’s part of the job.
Christian Bale is not afraid to change his body. For his role in The Machinist, Christian Bale dropped 63 pounds in four months. Then, he gained 109 for Batman Begins. Charlize Theron gained 30 pounds to play Aileen Wuornos in the 2003 movie, Monster. The South African actress won an Academy Award for her performance.
Studios love actors who are willing to change their bodies for a role. They need actors willing to lose or gain weight, grow, cut or dye their hair. Remember when Natalie Portman shaved her own head in V of Vendetta? She looked beautiful anyway, but we respect her more since! What about when Aaron Johnson grew his hair, beard, and nails for Nocturnal Animals? He looked so gross!
The craziest thing Emma Watson did to her body was to cut her hair short with bangs. She has spoken about her beauty regime. She may be reluctant to change her physique for a role.
