Emma Watson seemingly paid the price for fame as her 2021 Barbados travels came complete with the paparazzi following her every move. Enjoying a sun-soaked vacation that December, the Harry Potter actress escaped winter for some heat, showing off her figure in a bathing suit and quickly seeing fans commenting on the photos.
While Emma was praised for highlighting her slim frame as The Daily Mail published snaps of her, many found the whole thing invasive — in fact, one of the most-liked replies to the newspaper’s report sees a fan calling the snaps “really intrusive.” Emma, 34, was 31 years old at the time of the photos, ones showing her topping up her tan on a sandy beach before enjoying a speedboat outing.
Emma Watson Stuns In Barbados During Beach Break
Looking relaxed, Emma chilled out on the shore as she showed off her toned muscles and curves in a stylish burgundy two-piece. The bandeau bathing suit came strapless and a little low-cut, with Emma also going high-waisted in matching bottoms boasting a feminine frill.
Wearing zero makeup and her bob hair damp and down, Emma stuck to an unfussy finish, only adding a little glam via shades and a gold bangle. Photos showed The Circle actress splashing about shallow waters, even upping her heart rate in one moment as she took her walk into a jog.
Following her dip, the Hollywood actress dried off with a large beach towel while checking her phone. She also enjoyed some high-end perks as a luxury speedboat took her away from the beach.
Fans Think Photos Are ‘Really Intrusive’
Over 1,300 users have now commented on the snaps and well over 2,000 agreed with the second most-upvoted reply, one simply reading: “Really intrusive.”
Agreeing, another replied: “Right? Look how noisy those photos are. Clearly someone hidden behind a bush a mile away, and the DM makes out she’s out flaunting herself in front of the world. Clearly just trying to get some privacy on a beach somewhere. I’m not a fan of her by any means but she’s not flaunting anything.“
“Regardless of what you feel about her or her politics this is so intrusive. This is a long-distance lens,” a separate comment read.
Emma has addressed the pressures she’s faced as a star who was only 11 years old when she was propelled to fame in the Harry Potter movie franchise. In 2016, she opened up to reveal a horrifying experience as she alleged that the paparazzi actually lay on the floor to take photos up her skirt. The incident occurred on her 18th birthday, with Emma saying that had the snaps been taken just one day earlier, they would have been “illegal.”
