Emma Watson: 'I don't want to look like everyone else'

Emma Watson has said that she worries about the perception of how she should look.

Speaking to ELLE magazine, the Harry Potter star explained that she believes the most successful actresses are the ones who don't want to change themselves.

"I do worry about the expectation to look a certain way," Watson said. "I find LA quite scary because of that – all those young people having plastic surgery. But the thing is, I don't want to look like everyone else.

"I don't have perfect teeth, I'm not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn't want to change anything."



The 21-year-old added: "It's ridiculous that seems such an unrealistic goal. I think the actresses who are really successful are the ones who are comfortable in their own skins and still look human."

Watson said that she feels as though people are waiting for herself or former co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint to do something "that will perpetuate the child star stereotype".

"I don't know if I'm the least likely person to go off the rails, but I don't see any need to. It's not on my agenda. There are too many other things I want to do," she added.

The full shoot and interview appears in the November issue of UK ELLE, out now.
