Despite her designer-loving character in the new Sofia Coppola movie The Bling Ring, Emma Watson is the farthest thing from superficial.
“I've got about eight pairs of shoes and that's it," she told The Cut according to Contact Music. She explains how, when shooting the scene inside Paris Hilton’s closet for The Bling Ring, half of the clothes in Hilton’s closet still had the tags attached to them.
“It's almost like consumerism as a form of kleptomania,” Watson stated.
Perhaps her view on consumerism and the reasoning behind her eight pairs of shoes has to do with Watson’s naturally humble attitude. Perez Hilton says that Watson didn’t even realize she was famous until she got to college. Watson says it might have to do with the fact that she was so sheltered during her Harry Potter days.
“I would get in the car, go to the studio, and go home," she said. It wasn’t until she started attending Brown University where she realized that people actually knew her. For the first time since starting acting, Watson was surrounded by fans rather than co-workers.
