First Daniel Radcliffe steps out with a girl and now Emma Watson has given herself a haircut.
The Harry Potter stars are all growed up. Now that they don’t have to make any more films, the actors are going out of their way to distance themselves from the franchise as much as possible. Radcliffe did this subtly, by carefully introducing a girlfriend. But Emma Watson has gone all out, unveiling a drastic new Mia Farrow-style haircut on Facebook to put the spectre of Hermione firmly behind her.
And now it’s left up to Rupert Grint to complete the triptych. Rumour has it that he plans to demonstrate his new-found maturity by getting drunk on cheap cider and trying to pork a mountain lion on top of a hill while Foreigner‘s I Want To Know What Love Is blares out from a set of nearby speakers.
Have you heard the news? Emma Watson has given herself a daring new haircut. How daring, exactly? Well, all the hair has been pulled out of Emma Watson’s head and replaced with several thousand earthworms. Plus there’s now a monkey dressed up as an old-time bellboy constantly perched on top of her head that can whistle and offer cigarettes to strangers. Plus pipes have been fitted under her scalp that can shoot water out of her temples in time with up to five songs of her choosing. Really, Emma Watson’s new haircut is extremely daring.
Wait, what? None of that is true? Emma Watson has just cut her hair quite short? Oh, that’s a disappointment. CBS reports:
The “Harry Potter” star and Brown University student posted a picture on her Facebook account with a new pixie cut reminiscent of Mia Farrow in “Rosemary’s Baby.” “Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago… Feels incredible. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like,” the actress posted on her profile Thursday.
Still, even though it’s just a sodding haircut and there are plenty of more important things to worry about about, Emma Watson’s new haircut has completely split the public opinion. Some love it, saying that the short cut only accentuates her fine bone structure and elfin features. Some, meanwhile, have been less kind, saying that the cut has robbed Emma Watson of her femininity.
And others have pointed out that it’s just a bloody haircut and it’ll grow back and nobody has died and God you’re still actually reading this, aren’t you, even though it’s just a story about a woman getting her poxy hair cut and look at you, your lives are empty and pointless and devoid of meaning and everything you do disgusts us even though we’re the ones who’ve just spent 500 words talking about it so really we’ve come out worst here and oh Jesus we hate ourselves so much and where did everything go so pathetically wrong for us?
So, you know, the haircut has attracted a range of reactions.

I knew she was a lesbian. There’s no denying it now she’s sporting that cut, I believe they call it the “Degeneres”.

In many cases, a woman cutting her hair short is a way to finding themslves. I find no problem in that, and though I would never try it, I respect those women deeply.
Her hair cut does not label her as a lesbian. Nothing about that picture, that you commented on, prooves anything about her sexuality.
And it’s obvious that your comment was supposed to seem funny, to be taken as a joke, so you stated it as an insult. Because to most straight americans, being a person of a different preference than normal people is looked down upon.
I understand that saying this comment about other stars, that have acted questionably, would be funny, and in some cases, have a little truth (Miley Cyrus, who danced questionably with another female in her “Can’t be Tamed” music video; or Brittany Spears, who always has somewhat innappropriate videos). But a woman who has never acted questionably, and who has tried to stay out of the spotlight, cutting her hair short to experiment is in no way “homosexual”.

I love it!!! She looks stunning! It really accentuates her gorgeous face!!
Anyone who doesn’t like it obviously doesn’t understand her reasoning. She couldn’t experiment with her hair for the past 10 years, because Hermione’s hair is long and brown. Emma is 20 years old and can finally try something new. Plus, it’s hair and it WILL grow back. I love this short look on her! She’s not the first to do it and she certainly won’t be the last. :D
