Emma Watson is about to turn 30 in April and is feeling a little nervous. She had an idea of what she wanted her life to be when she reached this milestone and her reality is, well, not quite as she had planned. She sat down with me to talk love, relationships and how she feels about being her own ‘plus one’.
Bea: Hi Emma. I’m so happy you made time to chat with me!
Emma: Of course.
Bea: I really appreciate this. You’re amazing.
I wait to see if she compliments me back.
She doesn’t.
Bea: Ok, well, that was disappointing.
Emma: What was?
Bea: Nothing.
Emma: Why are you suddenly upset?
Bea: I’m fine, Emma. You’ve been in the spotlight since you were 9 years old, and are considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. Why are you single? Is it your personality?
Emma: What?
Bea: I mean, it’s gotta be… right?
Emma: This is insulting!
Bea: I mean this with absolute respect!
Emma: Un-fucking-believable. Let me tell you something… I have friends who, god help them, are fucking dull and ugly and yet are married with kids. Meanwhile, no one has touched me in weeks!
Bea: I hear you.
Emma: Are you in a similar situation?
Bea: No, I mean I literally hear you. You are screaming.
