English Actress Emma Watson: no acting for my kids



Former child star Emma Watson would discourage her own children from following in her footsteps by entering showbusiness.

The British actress shot to fame as a youngster after she was cast in the Harry Potter film franchise at the tender age of nine, and has credited her family with keeping her grounded over the years.


At a press junket to promote the latest Potter film, Watson was asked whether she would let a child of her own enter show business. "No... I probably wouldn't," she replied, before adding, "If she really, really wanted to do it, then I would just make sure I was with her. I would make sure that she had the supportive family around her that I did."

"No... I probably wouldn't," she replied, before adding, "If she really, really wanted to do it, then I would just make sure I was with her. I would make sure that she had the supportive family around her that I did."

Watson told reporters she hopes to live on campus at college and even take up student drama, but only "if it feels right".
