Emma Watson Interviews Fellow Feminist Geena Davis for 'Thelma & Louise' Anniversary

It's been 25 years since Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis dazzled the screen in the female-driven road film Thelma & Louise, and the film's legacy in modern feminism is not something its two Oscar-winning stars take for granted. To celebrate the Ridley Scott classic, Davis recently sat down with HeForShe feminist activist Emma Watson for an interview -- and it was epic!

The Harry Potter actress, who has been heavily involved in speaking about gender inequality for the United Nations since 2014, spoke to Davis about the film and women in Hollywood in recent times for Interview Magazine, and things got very serious very fast.

During the interview, Watson talked to Davis about her work in media research, as her organization, the Geena Davis Institute, actually focuses on the portrayal of women in the media, both on screen and off, which puts forward a lot of research dedicated to the subject, particularly when it comes to depiction of female characters in films and television directed at young children.

Still, Davis insists that, while it might take a while until women are equally represented on all branches of society, there's one spot where they can escalate faster: the film industry.

"I realized that in all the sectors of society where there's a huge gender disparity, the one place that can be fixed overnight is onscreen," Davis explained during the interview. "You think about getting half of Congress, or the presidency ... It's going to take a while no matter how hard we work on it. But half of the board members and half of the CEOs can be women in the next movie somebody makes; it can be absolutely half."

Davis also shared a few sweet stories from when she first met Sarandon, insisting she's called her co-star her "hero" so many times, she's probably sick of it at this point!

Davis' work regarding women in media has also led her to create her own film project, following the steps of fellow actors Robert Redford and Robert De Niro did before her: the Bentonville Film Festival, focused on women and minorities.
