Emma Watson News: Book Club 'Excites' Sophia Bush, Talks About Pressure During Teenage Years!
It has been on the news lately that Emma Watson asked for some suggestions for a name for her feminist book club. And now that it is up and open to people, one of the club's pioneering members is actress Sophia Bush of "Chicago P.D." fame. According to Entertainment Weekly, Bush is excited and can't wait to get the reading started.
"It always excites me when I find like-minded women in this industry who are working to uplift women," the TV series actress told EW on Sunday during the Golden Globe Awards' red carpet. "And I think, in particular, to see Emma trailblazing - she's so young, and she's so passionate, and that excites me, that there's other women who are really jazzed about this."
Other members of the Emma Watson's book club - named "Our Shared Self" - include U.S. soccer player Abby Wambach, Kate Voegle and some good old 74,000 members from Goodreads.
"We all started chatting on Twitter, and you know, I sort of took a moment and thought, 'I'm talking to Emma Watson and my friend Abby Wambach, and we're starting a book club, and this is crazy,'" Bush added.
In other news, Emma Watson has confessed that it is only now that she's 25 when she found happiness after years of doubting herself. Watson started as a teen star who rose to prominence when she portrayed the role of Hermione Granger in the highly successful "Harry Potter" movies. The actress told The Daily Mail during a forthright interview that she was "terrified" by the worldwide interest in her life from the age of 10. She also added that she was envious of her friends who could lead normal teenage lives.
"Now at 25 for the first time in my life I feel like I have a sense of self that I'm comfortable with," Watson said during her interview with Porter Magazine, as noted by Entertainment Weekly. "I actually do have things that I want to say and I want to be my most authentic self. I don't want there to be a big separation between the public and the private person. It's definitely the harder road to tread, but without a doubt, ultimately the most rewarding."
It just goes to show that even a celebrity who is worthy of being a news such as Emma Watson wants to lead a normal life.
