Happy Friday: Watch Emma Watson Beatbox For Gender Equality

Emma Watson continues to work her magic. The “Harry Potter” alum plans to take a year off from acting but she’s making amazing use of her time away from Hollywood: The UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and upcoming star of the live-action “Beauty and the Beast” will focus on her feminist activism.
