Emma Watson news 2014 sparked online buzz as the 'Harry Potter' actor spoke during the launch of the "HeForShe" campaign mid-September in New York. Both positive and negative responses are shared online - including a possible victim to the celebrity photo leak 2014.
The 24-year-old actor is known worldwide, and across all age groups through her work in J.K. Rowlings' "Harry Potter" series where she plays lead character Hermione Granger. Apart from the "Harry Potter" series, she has appeared in recent films as "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (2012), "This Is The End" (2013), "The Bling Ring" (2013) and most recently, "Noah" (2014).
Upon her graduation from Brown University and with her work in Bangladesh and Zambia to promote education for girls, she was appointed as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in July. With this promotion, Emma Watson news 2014 surged online as the "Noah" actor received standing ovation for her speech during the launch of "HeForShe" campaign in New York in September.
"HeForShe" is a UN Women-led campaign that is characterized as "a solidarity movement for gender equality" according Heforshe.org.
Days after her well-received speech, responses continue to pour out - both positively and negatively. Known personalities such as Tom Hiddleston, Kate Bosworth, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellie Goulding take to social media like Twitter and Instagram their support for the cause.
After the "HeForShe" launch, Iceland has also confirmed that there will be an upcoming UN discussion on women and gender equality, which will involve only men. This conference now dubbed as "barbershop conference" hopes to instigate caucus among male leaders on the issue of gender equality.
Apart from the positive reaction towards Emma Watsons' speech, news 2014 reveals that not everyone is happy. According to USMagazine, the website 4chan threatened to release nude photos of Emma Watson as they have in the recent celebrity photo leak 2014 incident as a retaliation to her speech. Derogatory messages apart from the celebrity photo leak 2014 taunting have also been posted against the actor (though have since been deleted). However, there has been an online countdown of the release of these alleged photos, aimed at wiping out the credibility of the English actress, and possibly her campaign for gender equality.
