Emma Watson Talks Bling Ring With W Magazine

Posted on May 19, 2013

Actress Emma Watson covers the June/July 2013 issue of W magazine. Emma wears a Louis Vuitton jacket and shorts with Falke fishnet tights on the cover. In the W interview, Emma talks about her role in The Bling Ring, a film based on a real series of robberies of celebrity homes. Emma also revealed when she first realized she was famous.

On Her Role as Nicki in The Bling Ring: "With Nicki, I was really taking on a character. Some of her lines are so crazy and absurd-making sure she wasn't a parody was a challenge."

On What Outfits Helped Her Get Into Character: "Who wouldn't love to go to work in Uggs and very low-slung tracksuit bottoms? The iconic detail of Nicki is her tramp stamp. It's a lotus flower, a Buddhist-like symbol just above her butt crack. Really classy! [Laughs] And at one point I told the costume designer, 'You can see my bra strap in this top; shouldn't we pin it?' And she said, 'No, sweetie-Nicki is all about her bra strap showing.' I was like, Right, okay, different mind-set."

On When She First Realized She Was Famous: "I lived in denial for as long as I possibly could. Until the age of 18, I would take the Oxford Tube, which is a public bus. Then it got to the point where the fact that I was on the bus would spread from one end to the other. I'd think, Why am I doing this to myself? Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed dorm. Looking back, that was crazy."
