The actress says that in "Beauty and the Beast" Stockholm syndrome does not occur. “Belle retains her sense of independence, continually arguing and trying to get away,” she argues. She says that the attraction caused by beauty is ephemeral
Famous for playing the role of Hermione Granger in all seven adaptations of the "Harry Potter" film series, actress Emma Watson was one of those rare actresses who enjoyed a normal balanced life, despite being one of the stars of the most recognized and best paid cinema in the film industry. Her meteoric rise to fame was nothing short of magical.
With virtually no professional acting experience, the 9-year-old Watson was cast in the co-starring role in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone” (2001), propelling her to international stardom with the first feature film of she.
Her portrayal of domineering, know-it-all Hermione was perfect, so it was no surprise when she was cast alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in later chapters when she was already a teenager.
Watson showed her admirers a more sophisticated style. She then regularly attended fashion shows, struck up a friendship with legendary dressmaker Karl Lagerfeld, and many times walked the red carpet wearing very exclusive clothes. The Burberry house noticed the actress and hired her to be the new face of their creations in 2009. With that valuable contract in her portfolio and with the applause of her admirers from all over the world, the multi-dimensional actress successfully entered, in the history of cinematography. Emma Watson, who was born on April 15, 1990 in Paris, France, stars in "Beauty and the Beast."
Emma Watson received DIARIO POPULAR to be interviewed in a room at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills and that she had this development.
Can she talk about Stockholm syndrome?
The dictionary defines that Stockholm Syndrome is when the person begins to take on the characteristics of their captor, and begins to accept their opinions and essentially is, when the captive person changes sides and does not want to be rescued. And that is not fair what Belle does, my character in the film.
Belle retains the feeling of independence from her and discusses all the issues with him and she wants to go back to see her father and continually tries to run away from her.
I think I've played the role of Hermione for over a decade, and when I stepped out of that role I felt like my life was turned upside down and I didn't know what was going to happen to me. I always wanted to go to college, and that was very, very important to me and I focused on it because I needed to leave and thus gain knowledge of what had happened to me.
Beauty is in love with the Beast, but do you really think that she can fall in love with a brute (laughs), even though she has a heart of gold?
Yes. Absolutely yes. Of course I think, there's an initial reaction, and there's an initial chemistry about that person being beautiful or attractive or whatever, but it doesn't last very long. Actually, what interests you and commits you to someone, are the values you share, the conversations you have and the ability to teach you things about myself and about the world and how that person makes you feel. And I think that love can transcend physical appearance.
