EMMA WATSON: The magic contiues


Goodbye Hermione:

After the Harry Potter films made her the world's most famous witch, Emma Watson wanted to show she had other talents. 
Her next big role, as a cool kik in The Perks of Begin a Wallflower (2012), was very different from the studious Hermione. The seven weeks Emma spent filming wew the opportunity for her to be a normal teenager for the first time. "We'd just stay up all night playing guitar and running aroung the hotel", she says.

A private person:

Emma loves making films but she does not like celebrity life. She is attached to her privacy, which is ironic because in the film The Bling Ring (2013), she plays a teenager who is obsessed with celebrities and breaks into their houses. It was a challenge for Emma to play a materialistic, narcissistic character so different to her.

THE HUNGER GAMES - CATCHING FIRE

CATCHING FIRE

JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS BACK as Katniss Everdeen in the second Hunger Games film. After winning the 74th competition with Peeta Mellark, Katniss returns home. But now the 75th Games are in preparation and both are forced to participate. It's a special edition of the Games: all the participants are past winners. They must fight to the death in a televised battle. It's a cruel challenge.


JENNIFER LAWRENCE

Oscar-winning superstar and nice girl.

Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is everywhere this month. I Love English has some ideas on how to succeed like Jennifer...

MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS:

Most actresses, if offered a role in The Hunger Games would say "Yes!" without hesitation. Not Jennifer Lawrence. Se was worried that being famous would change her. She thought about the offer for three days, before accepting. Like Katniss in the films, Jennifer became a superstar overnight. But happily, she hasn't changed at all!

GIVE 100 PER CENT:

To prepare for her role in The Hunger Games, Jennifer worked very hard. She trained in archery four times a week, learnt tree and rock climbing, and had fitness and combat coaching. "If I look exhausted in the movie that's definitely real", she says smiling.

BE UNPREDICTABLE:

Jennifer likes to surprise her fans. She plays very different roles from one film to the next. She experiment with new styles. Her hair colour changes from blonde to brown, and she can wear everything from elegant dresses to jeans and simple t-shirts.

LAUGHT AT YOURSELF:

Jennifer admits that she's not perfect. She's naturally clumsy, and fell on the steps when she collected her fist Oscar in front of Hollywood's most important stars. But she reacted to this embarrassing stuation with humour. "You guys are just stnading up because you feel bad that I fell", she said when the audience stood up in her honour.

BE FEARLESS:

Most actresses don't dream fo carrying a shotgun. But Jennifer is fearless: that's exactly what she did in the film Winter's Bone. Millions of fans identified with her challenging, teenage role. It was also preparation for playing Katniss.

BE MODEST:

With a salay of $10 millioin for the new Hunger Games film, Jennifer is the most successful female action star of all time. But she is modest abut her success. "I'm not saving lives," she says. "There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I'm only making movies".

GET ANGRY WHEN THERE'S A GOOD REASON TO:

Jennifer hates photographers following her everywhere. She has a difficult relationship with fame. "I'm beginning to feel like a monkey in a zoo", she says. "I am not OK with it. I am just a normal girl and a human being": And that, Jennifer, is exactly why we love you.
