--- --- # Watch Emma Watson Prove She's the Perfect Friend in the Ultimate Act of Celebrity Kindness  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 3, 2017 5:24 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 3, 2017 5:24 PM UTC [_Beauty and the Beast_ actress](http://time.com/4686896/disney-beauty-beast-emma-watson-dan-stevens-gay-character/) Emma Watson is used to being on camera; after all, as child star [Hermione](http://time.com/4508563/hermione-harry-potter-house-sale/) in the Harry Potter movies, she’s been in the eye of global audiences for over 15 years. So it’s no surprise that she’s hyper-aware of how to appear at one’s best onscreen. During a recent press interview alongside [costar Dan Stevens](http://time.com/3732813/dan-stevens-emma-watson-beauty-and-the-beast/), Watson proved that her understanding of making a positive impression extended past herself—and to the interviewer. “I’m so sorry, can I stop you for a minute?” she interrupts Stevens as he’s answering a question. Then she turns to the interviewer. “You would do this for me, and I would do this for you—you’ve got pen on your chin, and you’re gonna be so sad when you see this. And I just have to do this for you,” she implores, going over to the woman and starting to rub at a dark spot on her face. “This is exciting,” the embarrassed interviewer responds. It’s not every day you get that level of hands-on attention and makeup fixing from a megawatt celebrity like Watson. “I know what it’s like to have something on your face,” Watson says earnestly, calling for her makeup artist to save the day with a handy hint of concealer. “This is my best moment of the trip, I have to say,” the interviewer finally says, blushing and laughing. With a helper so conscientious, Emma’s friends clearly never have to worry about being caught out with spinach in their teeth.
