Emma Watson 'Embodies Everything' That Meg March Is in 'Little Women', Director Greta Gerwig Says

Emma Watson walks out from a restaurant with a friend after grabbing a bite to eat in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon (August 13).

That same day, the trailer for the 29-year-old actress’s new movie, Little Women, debuted and director Greta Gerwig had nothing but amazing things to say about her portrayal of Meg March.

“To me she embodies everything that I was interested in, in terms of who the March women were,” Greta shared with People in a new interview. “She is lovely, she is way out there trying to do everything she can [with her activism].”

She continues, “I think, in terms of what she did with the character of Meg, she has so much open-heartedness and so much love combined with that much intelligence, it’s heartbreaking and potent. Because she’s absolutely herself with understanding the struggle of who that character is.”

Little Women is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day, December 25th.
