Emma Watson

Emma Watson, born on 15 April 1990, in Paris, France, is a British actress, model, and Feminist activist. The actress got her breakthrough role as a child in the hugely successful Harry Potter film franchise. Watson grew up on camera as she reprised her role as one of Harry Potter's best friends, Hermione Granger, throughout the entire course of the film series. After committing to the Harry Potter movies for a decade, Watson was appointed as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in 2014, and helped launch the HeForShe campaign, which is the United Nations front for Feminism.

In 2012, it was reported that Emma Watson preferred American over British men, because the latter former were more direct: "But now Emma Watson has said she doubts she will date a British man ever again – because they are too shy. […] Instead an American will come up to her straight away and suggest a date – a boldness she finds attractive."

On 20 September 2014, in her speech as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador at the launching of the HeForShe campaign, Emma Watson said: "If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled."
