POP QUIZ: What does being a super-famous, international superstar get you?
Answer: Not an easier time at the airport, apparently.
Emma Watson was stopped at JFK International Airport recently because security thought was – get this – an unaccompanied minor. Emma was actually on her way back to college (she’s 22, guys! So not a minor anymore) and blames the misunderstanding on a childlike accessory she was sporting: her backpack.
Passport control:’unaccompanied minor?’ Me:’sorry?’ Passport control:’where is ur guardian?’ Me:’I'm 22!!!!!!!’ #neverwearingabackpackagain
