Filipina’s Unforgettable Facetime With Emma Watson

A lucky Filipina has just had the time of her life speaking to one of today’s most popular actresses, Emma Watson. The Pinay got a greeting from Emma through a video call on Facetime thanks to her mom.

Emma Watson was made popular for her role as Hermione Granger in “Harry Potter.” Her recent role in Disney’s “Beauty And The Beast” has made her one of today’s most popular artists. Aside from being acting, Emma is also an advocate of gender equality.

The Filipina who had this fortunate encounter with British model and actress Emma Watson is Therese Kiara. Therese posted the screenshots of her call with the actress on Facebook on Wednesday, April 26. Since then it has gone viral getting almost 111k likes and around 16k shares.

Therese Kiara on Facebook relays how it happened on Facebook. She sais she was just studying for her Bio exam when her mom called. Apparently, the “Beauty And The Beast” actress was standing just behind her and she could not wait to tell her daughter about it.

While on the call, Therese’s mom politely asked Emma Watson if she could just say hi to her daughter on the cam. Therese used the words “kind” and “sweet” to describe the 27-year-old actress.

On Facebook, Therese shares what went on during the short conversation. The mom tells Emma, “Hi, may I ask you for a favor? Can you please say Hi to my daughter? She wants to see you but she’s at home studying.” Emma herself said, “Sure! Hi! Study hard!.”

It wasn’t hard to decipher that Therese was more than ecstatic about her short and rare encounter with an award winning actress. She said, “Oh good Lord, I can not breathe. Perfect motivation to study.” What started as a study time turned out to be an “exclusive” moment that she will never forget.

Emma Watson appears in the film “The Circle” and plays the role of Mae who lands her dream job in a tech empire only to find out that she has become part of an experiment that disregards privacy, freedom, and ethics. “The Circle” is out in Philippine theaters on May 3.
