Emma Watson Not Getting into Bondage Fiction, Which You'd Know if You Got Her at All

Emma Watson has responded to rumors that she'll play the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey, letting the world know that no, she'll only be starring in one silly book series your mom enjoyed too much.

Speculation of her involvement with the adaptation has persisted for some time, but reached a high earlier this month when Anonymous hacked a server at Constantin Film and posted some internal documents, one of which claimed Watson was attached to star. I did not post this news, as I totally get Emma Watson, and I was like, "My Emma would never degrade herself like that." But others rubes not as in-touch with her psyche apparently needed to be told that the rumor is false, so Watson recently took to Twitter to say:

"Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life."

In other words, bondage porn is probably not something Emma Watson will be doing, at least not "in real life." "In highly-disturbing fan art" remains another story.
