Beauty and the Beast star, feminist and humanitarian Emma Watson recently graced the March cover of Vanity Fair and revealed in an interview that she’s in love.
Although she never reveals any details and continues to keep her relationship out of the spotlight, the magazine said the internet claims his name is “Mack”, he is “handsome” and “works in tech in Silicon Valley”.
According to the 26-year-old actress who recently started an Instagram account to promote sustainable fashion, “Privacy for me is not an abstract idea.”
“I want to be consistent: I can’t talk about my boyfriend in an interview and then expect people not to take paparazzi pictures of me walking around outside my home. You can’t have it both ways,” Watson told the magazine.
“I’ve noticed, in Hollywood, who you’re dating gets tied up into your film promotion and becomes part of the performance and the circus. I would hate anyone that I were with to feel like they were in any way part of a show or an act.”
Watson also noted her strong stance on never taking selfies with fans and that she would opt for a sit down chat instead. She explains, “If someone takes a photograph of me and posts it, within two seconds they’ve created a marker of exactly where I am within 10 meters.”
“They can see what I’m wearing and who I’m with. I just can’t give that tracking data.” Hmm, this makes a lot of sense to come to think about.
“I’ll say, ‘I will sit here and answer every single Harry Potter fandom question you have but I just can’t do a picture,'” she adds.
“When am I a celebrity sighting versus when am I going to make someone’s freakin’ week? Children I don’t say no to, for example.”
