Emma Watson helping the elderly after superstorm Sandy

EMMA WATSON used her time off from work in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy to help deliver meals to house-bound pensioners.

The British actress was in New York filming biblical epic Noah with Russell Crowe when the bad weather hit last week (beg29Oct12), forcing the production to shut down.

However, Watson put her days off to good use by volunteering for local charity Citymeals-on-Wheels, helping elderly residents who were affected by the storm, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.
