Emma Watson - Ready to going nude?
Following in the footsteps of her "Harry Potter" counterpart Daniel Radcliffe, 18-year-old Emma Watson says going nude for a role is perfectly OK.

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (born 15 April 1990) is a French-born British actress who rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series. Watson was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having acted only in school plays.From 2001 to 2007, she starred in five Harry Potter film instalments alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. She will return for the final two instalments: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, due to be released in 2009, and the two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.Watson's work in the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million.

In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in two non-Harry Potter productions: the made-for-television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes and an animated film, The Tale of Despereaux. Ballet Shoes was broadcast on December 26, 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million and The Tale of Despereaux, based on the book by Kate DiCamillo, will be released in 2008.

The baby-faced teenager, who has garnered legions of fans for her role as innocent Hermione Granger, admitted this weekend she would go naked for her art.

"Yes. For Bernardo Bertolucci. It ... depends," said the actress, referring to the Italian director.

But she quickly rationalized, "I'm not getting my kit off any time soon, but it is part of my job."

Upon even more reflection in the interview the young star revealed she is aware of the issues her tender age presents.

"I'm at a strange age. I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl any more. "

While she doesn't feel quite like a woman, Watson's certainly dressing the part: The actress stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Tale of Despereaux" on Sunday looking very much like a grown-up in a semi-sheer dress.

But film companies aren't quite ready to see little Hermoine Granger as a big girl, she says.

"They say, 'Oh, in a couple of years you'll be perfect for this.' I'll be like, 'Yeah, but I want to be studying English then, so it's going to be quite tough to choose between the two,' " she explains.

Radcliffe, on the other hand, shouldn't have any problems being viewed as an adult: The 19-year-old has taken it all off in the play "Equus" over the span of two years on both sides of the pond.
