The Daily Record has a new interview with Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) where she talks, among other things, her ideal man:
But what attributes is she looking for in her ideal partner? She
replied: “Kindness, good manners, intelligence, confidence … and
someone who can make me laugh.
“Manners are important. The way I was brought up, my dad is very
strict and very focused on that, so if I see anyone be rude to anyone
else, it’s an immediate turnoff. I can’t bear it.
“I think being polite is quite key for me. Being kind and being aware of people around you is definitely a big one.”
…
She revealed: “I liked Sean Connery and I remember thinking he was great.”
So being polite and Scottish ticks two boxes. But what about looks?
Emma said: “I was talking to my friend about this the other day. I don’t
have a ‘type’.
“You could line up photographs of the guys I’ve dated and they all look totally different.
“You won’t believe me but it’s really very much to do with their personalities.
“If someone’s nice to look at, it gets boring after about 10 minutes.”
Watson also discussed her fashion designing career and her own personal fashion:
“I love fashion and there are two more collections to come out.
“But I’m going to focus more on my academics and my career from this
point forward, so I probably won’t be pursuing it much further.”
She has used her love of fashion to great effect on the red carpet for a decade now.
Emma said: “I used to cringe and regret some of the outfits but
actually I’m quite proud now that I had fun with it and didn’t always
look perfect.
“I’ve made mistakes but there’s a history, there’s an arc, there’s a
learning curve. You can see that I made my own mistakes and learned
from them and figured it all out for myself and I enjoyed it.
“It’s obvious from the stuff that I’ve worn that I’ve just liked dressing up.
“Who makes things girls can wear on the red carpets or to premieres?
“For 12-year-old girls, they just don’t exist. You either buy a
bridesmaid dress or you improvise.”
