Early life and education
Emma Watson was born on 15 April 1990 in Paris, France to English father Chris Watson and French mother Jacqueline Luesby. (click appropriate actor's image, click "Actor Bio") Watson lived in Maisons-Laffitte near Paris until the age of five. Her parents divorced when she was young, and Watson moved to England to live with her mother in Oxfordshire while spending weekends at her father's house in London. She has said she speaks some French, though "not as well" as she used to. At age 5, Watson was diagnosed with primarily hyperactive-impulsive ADHD, a condition for which she has been medicated ever since. After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, she attended the Dragon School, remaining there until 2003. From age six, she wanted to become an actress, and trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing, and acting.

 Family  
Emma Watson is the daughter of Chris Watson, an English lawyer and owner of a vineyard Domain Watson in Chablis and Jacqueline Luesby, a French lawyer that work mostly in England. Emma Watson is half French by her mother side. She has one brother, Alex Watson, with whom she founded a premium Gin brand named Renais. Watson also has three half-siblings on her father side, Toby, Lucy and Nina, and two step-siblings on her mother side.        

 Fashion 
As Watson has grown older, she has become more interested in fashion. She says that she thinks fashion is like art, which she studied in school. In September 2008, she told a blogger, "I've been focusing on art a lot, and fashion's a great extension of that."

In 2008, the British news reported that Watson was going to be the model for the fashion house Chanel instead of Keira Knightley, but both Watson and Knightley said that this was not true. In June 2009, Watson said that she would be helping Burberry by being a part of their new Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. She was later a part of Burberry's 2010 Spring/Summer campaign with her brother Alex, musicians George Craig and Matt Gilmour, and Max Hurd.
