  1. I don’t think going to a Roman Catholic school in England means much. Even Protestants and other non-Catholics go to Catholic schools there because the schools are known to be better.

  2. Uh, I highly doubt she’s a US dress size 2. She’s a healthier weight than that… not that US 2/UK 6 is particularly unhealthy. She has a similar body shape to my own and I’m a UK 8-10. This stupid celebrity culture of needing everyone to be flawlessly beautiful and skinny is nothing short of damaging. We’re human beings, not porcelain dolls.

    • I think it might be because she’s really tiny…i’ve got similar body type and i’m 5’3, so a bit taller than her. And i wear a UK 6 too, mostly because my frame is just smaller, even if i’m not super skinny or anything:)
      your frame is just smaller when you’re that tiny, ya know, and i’m definitely not skinny minnie, i’ve got some healthy curves;)
      but i completely agree with you on the whole skinny-obsession is terrible and emilia is very beautiful and healthy as she is 😀

    • I don’t know why you’d assume that? Perhaps it has less to do with celebrity culture and more to do with… actual fact? Stating that she’s a “healthier weight than that” is pretty offensive to a lot of people. I don’t know why people seem to think that shaming ‘skinny’ people for being skinny is any more acceptable than shaming ‘fat’ people for being fat.
      I was commenting to my husband on how similar her body shape was to mine whilst watching the GOT episode tonight, so googled her proportions which led me here.
      I’m 5″3 (160cm) and 48kg, I wear a US0-2/UK6. I assure you that I’m a NORMAL (naturally petite) human being, NOT a porcelain doll.

  3. Hi everyone.my name is BRUNETTE .from IRELAND.Hope you all are having great time.I am not judging anyone for their life choices.it’s none of my business.actually I am an ATHEIST.and with all do respect, I do not believe in any God or holly books,or prophets,heaven and hell.
    my Ideology is one simple thing.
    freedom.as long as me or people don’t hurt each other.
    But am I allowed to be confused?
    or curious?
    if it doesn’t disrespect anyone…I would like to say something.
    the fact number 16.says: (Emilia was offered the role of Anastasia in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). But, she turned it down as it included numerous nude scenes.)…
    so if I may,…what about the tv show:
    Game of thrones…..?
    Wasn’t she completely naked?
    and beside just being nude, for many scenes and of course in a fake way,and in a perfectly safe space,she was raped? repidetly?……
    even though that she’s an actress and these sort of things,part of her job.
    So anyway,my question is that why there is difference between nude scenes in THE GOT and the other movie offered to her?
    That’s all.then again I had no intentions to offend anyone.wish you all peaceful times,calm mind,sunshine,rainbows,and the beautiful moon dance.🌻
