Emma Watson has revealed how she had an embarrassing communication breakdown at her US university over the American word for ‘condom’. The Harry Potter star said she was left red-faced after loudly asking her fellow students if she could borrow a rubber. While Watson was asking for something to get rid of a mistake in her exercise book, her shocked friends thought she was brazenly requesting some contraception. “I had no idea that you guys call a condom a rubber,” she told David Letterman. “My version of a rubber is an eraser. So I’ve done that. I’ve very loudly asked for a rubber and people have given me strange looks. That was embarrassing.” Watson, 20, sparkled in a black and red sequined dress and stiletto heels during her appearance on Letterman’s US chat show on Monday night. The actress, who cut her hair into a cropped pixie cut around three months ago, said she felt ‘really good’ about the new do and confessed she did it to mark the end of the Harry Potter films. “Most women get their hair cut when they go through a break up,” she explained. “I was going through the Harry Potter break up and it was time for a new look.”
