Does playing one movie role in seven films constitute being called a “icon” and compared to JEAN SHRIMPTON at such a young age? I know both Youncef Nabi of Lancome and Harvey Weinstein who are quoted below are just trying to profit by pushing this image on us that Emma Watson is more unique than any other young star but these are both huge asinine statements to make. In the grand scope Emma has yet to be successful on her own. Modeling clothing and one movie character says nothing.
From iheartwatson.net (Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey) “Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign as she, like the images she fronts, has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Emma is part of the Burberry family; we’ve worked with her on lots of different things. She is one of the great new British icons.”
From latimesblogs.latimes.com March 20th 2011 "Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation. We are delighted by this new collaboration with Emma, who brings a fresh spirit to Lancôme," said Youcef Nabi, president of Lancôme International. (Here's my LANCOME post to go with this quote)
From dailymail.co.uk November 2010 "For ten years she has been this schoolgirl in the Harry Potter films and now you see her as a woman for the first time. 'She has an elegance about her - she looks like Jean Shrimpton! - plus she has a gift for comedy and drama, and we're just starting to see her range. I feel we're going to work together a lot in the future." ~ American Movie producer Harvey Weinstein
Do you know how much Photoshop is done on Miss Watson? She's no different from other people. Plus she has to wear loads of make-up to hide her freckles and other blemishes. If they are not using lighting, it’s head angles and other tricks of the trade. yes she is pretty but not the kind of pretty they are making her out to be. I can think of many other celebrity women that are far more elegant and pretty. Emma's overrated. Sorry.
As for Icon does that not mean you accomplished something great? What exactly has she done other than playing Hermione? Above Harvey Weinstein boasts about her range but the issue with that is no one has seen it on film. How can you make such a statement? She has yet to prove she can do other things other than have her photo taken and play Hermione Granger with the same success.

As for her being the highest paid actress in Hollywood that is no different than R2D2 and C-3PO being the highest paid androids in six Star Wars films. She was in the right place and right time. Her acting skills are basically all eye brows and over dramatic over tones. Nothing special. She has yet to win any major awards. The ones she has won are not earth shattering. Just kids stuff.
All of a sudden she drops out of Brown and here she is being lauded as this saint and heroine the likes of none other. Where is the consistency and longevity passed one success? More like lucky break. Talk about dumbing down the criteria for being an Icon and comparing her to a icon of her time in Jean Shrimpton. Maybe in time she can be what they're claiming but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
