Emma Watson Talks Body Image and Weight With Glamour UK
Posted on September 27, 2012
Actress Emma Watson covers the October 2012 issue of Glamour UK. Emma's latest film is The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
In the Glamour UK interview, Emma discusses her body shape and women being pressured to lose weight. She says she's learned to accept her body shape more as she has gotten older.
On Her Body Shape: "I've accepted my body shape more as I've got older. I went through a stage of wanting to have that straight-up-and-down model look, but I have curves and hips, and in the end you have to accept yourself as you are."
On Women Being Pressured to Lose Weight: "It makes me sad to hear girls constantly putting themselves down. We have these unbelievably high expectations of ourselves, when actually we're human beings and out bodies have a function. We say that the pressure is coming from men but actually it's from each other. I think women feel so much pressure these days and it can turn us against each other. But we really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to."
