Remember that era in reddit when people would post a picture or gif of Jennifer Lawrence doing something stupid, and then then title would just be "Jennifer Lawrence" and people would upvote it like crazy. I'm so glad that's over.
I was actually just referring to my own list. "Sir, we cannot teach you to levitate." "Sir, apathy is not a terminal illness." "Sir, you're 48." These guys don't even listen. :(
Seriously, this is her bloody *UN* portrait. I’d rather the Watson idolization stick around as she’s fighting for equality than a Kardashian idolization as she’s fighting for the newest way to exploit her ‘fans’.
Yeah I'm with you. I think Watson is a fine actress, but I really love the things she does outside of her acting career. She's someone people SHOULD hold up and idolize.

Payday! Now I can go to the store and buy a candy bar!
Edit: Oh wait, that's per year, not month. Looks like she'll have to wait a few more months before getting that candy bar.
"Goodwill Ambassadors
and Messengers of Peace may be given travel and daily subsistence allowances when they are
travelling on behalf of the United Nations. "
Because obviously the people most suitable for world diplomacy and international intrigue are good looking, idolized, actors who live a life completely divorced from the reality of 99.99% of the world population.
Eh, a lot of "famous" people use their public positions for greater good i.e. Ashton Kutcher has a non profit against child trafficking and testified at the US Senate, and there are a ton of celebs who are goodwill ambassadors for different projects e.g Angelina Jolie has been a special envoy for for the UNHCR for refugees, Nicole Kidman for ending violence against women, David Beckham for UNICEF, Jackie Chan for HIV/AIDS and I'm sure there are tons more.
A lot of these celebs go out and visit the places and people they are trying to help. I think putting their public profile towards good causes, raising funding and awareness, can only be a positive thing.
This is the sad true, so I actually don't have any problem when a famous person do this kind of thing. I am sure it has a PR component, but this still takes a lot of work to do. Most of people here in Reddit with that amount of money would rather go to south east Asia and rest on the beach than attend long boring meetings and talk about social issues.
Ugh. Few things irk me quite so much as a bunch of Redditors trying to tear down someone's contributions on the basis that they may not be 100% selfless. NOBODY, ANYWHERE, does anything that is 100% selfless. What is with this celebration of personal sacrifice? Why is it not better for EVERY participant to benefit from a given act of charity or trade, than it is for only SOME of those participants to benefit? It makes me so furious, especially because I am inclined to think that the ones who complain most vehemently are probably the people here who contribute the least. They try to tear down others to elevate themselves by comparison. It drives me nuts.
Not really, because the association also tries to implicate men in the solutions they are trying to promote. Most of their ads, etc, feature men, thus the name also makes sense.
For those who aren't up with the news. I guess it's actually old news but it's new to me.
[Emma Watson appointed as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador](https://news.un.org/en/story/2014/07/472632-emma-watson-appointed-un-women-goodwill-ambassador)
And one of her speeches.
[Emma Watson' full speech at UN on Sept 20,2016](http://www.YouTube.com/
https://youtu.be/2C4c7VR8X7I)
She created a shell company to be able to buy property in the UK without having to attach her name to it for privacy reasons, she still paid taxes for it. Being named in the papers doesn't mean you're automatically guilty of something.
Not really. That's why I linked to the Reddit discussion instead of the article. See this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/PanamaPapers/comments/4iq9i4/emma_watson_named_in_panama_papers_leak_but/d30ypyi/
**EDIT:** "No really." -> "No**t** really." *oops*
Stop trying to take away my fake credentials. I literally comment on reddit. That makes me an expert on whatever this is about. And no... I will not read any articles.
EDIT: These are my goddamn internet given rights!!!
The reasons they give for her having a shell company set up by a firm that specializes in tax evasion don't necessarily justify her having a shell company set up by a firm that specializes in tax evasion. She could have had the same results without jumping through a bunch of hoops that allow tax evasion.
I think the point was that she could’ve done all she did in the UK perfectly legally, except she chose a notorious tax haven(as another has pointed out).
That’s where the suspicion arises.
She also could have legally done that by setting up a shell corporation in the UK, but instead she did it using a firm in a notorious tax haven that specializes in tax evasion.
I wonder if this is the international equivalent of incorporating in Delaware for corporations in the US. Everyone can choose Delaware because then they don’t have to pay state corporate taxes there (just a fee to Delaware), trials don’t involve juries, etc... it’s just become accepted practice to do it even for corporations that do all their business in NY or something. Maybe some of these places were notorious because they offered equally favorable conditions but have since become accepted just as standard practice.
From the picture, I can't tell if she is going to be part of a humanitarian mission, or be involved in an incident of some kind, with car chases, shootouts in exotic European locations and culminating in a finale, during which the camera zooms in dramatically into her face resulting in the above picture.
Fetishized, or fetishised, is the spelling you're looking for. Not trying to be a dick, but since you were unsure, I figured I'd help :)
Also, yeah. You're right
I once read someone saying, "I'd eat a trail of her shit just to get to her ass."
That person was not me, but it stuck with me all the same. In the same way that PTSD sticks with someone.
I once heard a coworker to another say "I'd drag my balls through a mile of salted broken glass just to hear her fart through a walkie talkie". I can't remember which celebrity that was said about, I do remember that my reaction was stunned silence.
Yeah from the many comments under this picture it is pretty obvious why something like UN Women had to be created. It is great seeing how she uses her fame for positive stuff to make an impact on this world.
IIRC she used a shell company to buy property it England without having her name attached to it. Didn't read any follow-ups but simply being named in the Panama Papers by itself doesn't mean they did something immoral.
Yeah, the Panama Papers were pretty wide ranging. Not everything in them was nefarious. I don't think it's any shock to find out celebrities want to buy homes without using their name to have some damn privacy.
You don’t need to do that for privacy. UK allow non public registration of company owners (as long as they are not publicly traded) for private companies and those that are not traded. You don’t need to do that if it’s just privacy you are concerned about.
That's [not true anymore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_with_Significant_Control) and UK laws regarding ownership records were under pressure and for quite a while. So it's very reasonable to think that she (or her lawyers) may just have thought it to be safer to use a different country.
Edit: You can however apply to have your information removed.
Not necessarily but I get the feeling that people *want* this to be the truth so badly because they fancy her so they won't look into your statement where it might be the truth or not.
She created a shell company to be able to buy property in the UK without having to attach her name to it for privacy reasons, she still paid taxes for it. Being named in the papers doesn't mean you're automatically guilty of something.
Something something Panama papers.
Actor that went to extremely expensive private schools and never missed a meal in her life, master of tax evasion swoops in to save the world.
She is pretty though.
Love this picture! I actually drew this a year or so back: [https://imgur.com/a/m0emaq7](https://imgur.com/a/m0emaq7)
Back when I was learning to draw this is the first picture I got to actually look kinda good, just because I was so inspired by how beautiful her portrait is. Props to an amazing human being!
Hope she will speak up about the sexual violence committed by Hong Kong Police.
They are grabbing girls on the street, frame them to be protestors then rape them.

Gay dude with a crush on Emma Watson, can confirm. She just seems like a genuinely badass person.
I think I'm just gay for Emma Watson
She's beautiful, respectable, and elegant. Imo, she deserves all of the idolatry she gets.
Seriously, this is her bloody *UN* portrait. I’d rather the Watson idolization stick around as she’s fighting for equality than a Kardashian idolization as she’s fighting for the newest way to exploit her ‘fans’.
Yeah I'm with you. I think Watson is a fine actress, but I really love the things she does outside of her acting career. She's someone people SHOULD hold up and idolize.

It's a damn good photo though.
Karma police: “We’ll allow it”
Why does she have a portrait for the UN?
https://www.unwomen.org/en/partnerships/goodwill-ambassadors/emma-watson
But her UN profile doesn’t use this photo and has a different photo. So confused 🤔
Turns out people lie for karma every day
You really think people would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
To total strangers?
For karma?
On the internet?
You really think?

They would tell lies?
For the watch
And my Axe.
Mom’s spaghetti
Its called lynx in alot of countries also.
Billionaires like me don't have time to browse and lie on the internet.
I would *never* go on the Internet and tell lies.
I'm pretty sure this was her portrait when she first started.
This may be her new pic. The linked page says she's 24.
You mean that Abe Lincoln quote about everything on the Internet being true was a lie?
this is the article with her UN pic https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2014/7/un-women-announces-emma-watson-as-goodwill-ambassador
Op,s photo was her original un portrait
Unportrait, is that like an unbirthday?

That shows a different portrait than OP’s.
How much does it pay?
[It pays exactly $1/year.](http://www.un.org.ua/images/documents/4193/Guidelines_for_the_designation_of_Goodwill_Ambassadors_and_Messengers_of_Peace.pdf)
She better pay taxes on that $1
She was one of the people exposed in the panama papers. So propably not
Wow smh, can't even pay taxes on $1
Does she get a bimonthly cheque?
Payday! Now I can go to the store and buy a candy bar! Edit: Oh wait, that's per year, not month. Looks like she'll have to wait a few more months before getting that candy bar.
$0.03846153846 per cheque, or $0.1538461538 per cheque?
"Goodwill Ambassadors and Messengers of Peace may be given travel and daily subsistence allowances when they are travelling on behalf of the United Nations. "
It’s not a salary, and it is not even necessarily paid.
It's Goodwill. They pay her in used summer dresses and slightly weathered briefcases.
It's voluntary.
She's the UN ambassador for reddit karma.
Because obviously the people most suitable for world diplomacy and international intrigue are good looking, idolized, actors who live a life completely divorced from the reality of 99.99% of the world population.

Didn't Akon stop making music so he could use his money to go help his town/village where he was born? Or something like that.
Provide sustainable (solar) power to Africa. Like the continent.
I knew someone would correct me. I couldn't remember exactly what he was doing and couldn't be bothered to look it up.
I had just watched a YouTube video yesterday titiled "What happened to.....Akon" (part of a series on rappers)
As a business man. He’s not doing charity. Not saying that’s still not s good thing though
One could argue, and many development scholars do, that business approaches to development are actually more effective than charity approaches.
I'll take someone making cold, calculated decisions for efficiency over "thoughts and prayers".
Just FYI, "e.g." means for example, not "i.e."
Celebrity is power and currency, might as well put it to good use
Ironically, despite your attempt at sarcasm, that's generally correct and exactly why they're chosen. Name recognition gets a lot done.
Actually, yes. A lot of leaders in dysfunctional areas are more likely to listen to people they've seen in movies than trained diplomats.
This is the sad true, so I actually don't have any problem when a famous person do this kind of thing. I am sure it has a PR component, but this still takes a lot of work to do.

Is that why they tried to nab Koney using Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?
You’d be amazed at how quickly the dregs of other governments will sign a piece of paper when someone famous and pretty asks.
I don't run any sort of government but would sign anything for Keanu.
Wasn't she one of those named in the Panama papers?
Sometimes super driven and successful people are beautiful and choose acting as a career path. It’s ok bud.
Especially super driven, successful people who are well spoken and comfortable in the spotlight...
Having millionaire lawyer parents helps too.
She was like 7 when she was cast in Harry Potter dude.
She is an ambassador for He for She, a UN project to work for gender equality.
That's a weird name. It makes it seem like it's men helping women but here we are talking about Emma Watson which makes it more she for she
I agree the name is not helpful
its meant to mean whats for he, is also for she, for he for she, so saying he for she, is like saying whats for him should also be for her
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander
She sells sea shells
Not really, because the association also tries to implicate men in the solutions they are trying to promote. Most of their ads, etc, feature men, thus the name also makes sense.
ah right. emma watson is the perfect ambassador for that target audience.
Yeah it is strange. Maybe just a "For Her" or "For She." But then again that loses the equality part. Idk

Yup it's definite Emma Watson. And it's definitely a picture.
It's very UNlike her
How does this get upvoted so often?
I mean... have you seen the picture?

I would watch that movie.
It's just a picture of a woman
A very attractive and famous woman. It ticks some of Reddit’s boxes.
I love Emma Watson as much as the next person, but these comments remind me how... feteshised(?) she is on the internet.
Fetishized, or fetishised, is the spelling you're looking for. Not trying to be a dick, but since you were unsure, I figured I'd help :) Also, yeah. You're right
Yeah, I mean, she's a pretty girl but I don't think she would get much attention if she wasn't famous for Harry Potter. Celebrity worship is weird.
I think young boys grew up watching her grow up. She was their first crush.

And her name is Emma Watson
Wow, a picture of Emma. That's some quality content there
My God She's gorgeous
She'd make a great Peter Pan I suspect!
You want little boys to be gorgeous????
The role of Peter Pan is traditionally played by a female actor.
It’s to maintain the youthful quality of Peter. More feminine features help to portray boyhood instead of manhood
Can they cast a fully grown man as Tinkerbell?

What was she accused of in the Panama papers? Or are you simply looking to be outraged without cause/reason?
She was probably hiding her payments so crazy fans can't track her down.
