Actress Cate Blanchett says she's so extremely proud of Emma Watson's speech on gender equality at the United Nations.
Watson, the newly appointed ‘UN Women Goodwill Ambassador’ delivered an emotional speech about feminism at the United Nations headquarters in September to help launch the ‘He for She’ gender equality campaign.
According to media reports, Watson in her speech stated that feminism is about fighting for women’s rights and should not be misconstrued as man-hating. Blanchet said Watson’s speech was brilliant and passionate. “I was so proud of Emma Watson’s speech at the UN It was brilliant, such an incredible use of her airspace, and really passionate. It was fantastic,” she said.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old ‘Harry Potter’ actress recently admitted that she was very ‘nervous’ ahead of her UN speech because she wasn't sure how she'd be received by those in attendance. She said, “I was very nervous. It wasn't an easy thing for me to do”.
