In previous reports, 'Harry Potter' alum Emma Watson declared that she looks up to "Cinderella" star Cate Blanchett for her style. It looks like the Oscar Award winner returns the sentiment but her awe of the younger actress is not about her fashion choices.
In the "Blue Jasmine" star's interview and photoshoot for Porter magazine's winter edition, she shared how "f-ng proud" she was of the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Women.
"I was so f-ng proud of Emma Watson's speech at the U.N.," she gushed. "It was brilliant, such an incredible use of her airspace, and really passionate."
She also added that Watson's impassioned talk in front of the entire United Nations assembly in New York last September was "fantastic."
With regards to the recent nude photo leaks that happened recently and all the other offense against women, Blanchett is still hopeful for the future.
"There are a lot of things happening in an international sphere, and there are enough women with enough clout to make those shifts happen," she pointed out. "Enough is enough. And I hope the Emma Watsons of this world are going to say, 'F--- it.'
The young British star shared her views about feminism, correcting negative notions about the movement and called for gender equality in front of a room full of dignitaries at the UN Headquarters.
She also launched the HeForShe Campaign which aimed to "galvanize with as many men and boys" to help uphold women's rights as well as eliminate inequalities for women around the world.
"I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men," the 24-year-old stressed at the time.
"Cinderella" star Cate Blanchett wasn't the only one who applauded Watson's call for gender equality, either.
When Watson launched the campaign on Twitter, several celebrities answered her call, including One Direction member Harry Styles, Russell Crowe, Logan Lerman, and Chris Colfer among others.
"Thor" star Tom Hiddleston posted on Twitter at that time, "[Emma Watson] you are impeccable & extraordinary. I stand with you. I believe in gender equality."
Chloe Grace Moretz, another fellow feminist, also complimented Watson then, saying, "I'm definitely a feminist so I was very happy with the way that she put it out there."
She added, "I really respect her for what she did."
