Emma Watson refuses to take photos with fans anymore for her own safety.
Fans who are lucky enough to bump into the ‘Harry Potter’ star may be disappointed when they find out she doesn’t want to have a photograph with them as she fears she could be tracked the minute the picture goes online.
She said: "For me, it’s the difference between being able to have a life and not. 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 metres. They can see what I’m wearing and who I’m with.
"I just can’t give that tracking data … 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.’"
However, the 26-year-old actress treats every case individually and will agree to a photo if she knows it will "make someone’s freakin’ week".
She added: "I have to carefully pick and choose my moment to interact. 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."
Emma prefers to keep her personal life out of the spotlight and refuses to speak about her boyfriend in interviews for that reason.
She shared: "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."
And the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ star admits she once thought she was too "serious" to become an actress.
She told the March issue of Vanity Fair magazine: "I’ve been doing this since I was 10 or 11, and I’ve often thought, I’m so wrong for this job because I’m too serious; I’m a pain in the ass; I’m difficult; I don’t fit. But as I’ve got older, I’ve realised, No! Taking on those battles, the smaller ones and the bigger ones, is who I am."
