Emma Watson breaks the silence on her seven-year-long hiatus from Hollywood and takes a break from acting. The star revealed that she misses the art of filmmaking but is in no hurry to step back into the Hollywood glamour.
Emma Watson gets candid about acting
Emma Watson hasn’t returned to the big screen since her 2018 appearance on Greta Gerwig’s Little Women.
In a recent interview with Hollywood Authentic’s Greg Williams, the star has now opened up about her acting break and how the hiatus has made her feel “maybe the happiest and healthiest” that she’s ever been.
When asked if she is feeling well and happy, Watson addressed the burden of being “a public persona, that sort of needs constant feeding and sprucing and glamorising.” The actress shared that “shedding the multiple identities has freed up so much space, I think, for me to be a better sister, daughter, friend, granddaughter, and then artist.” However, Watson admitted that she misses acting and making movies except for the “promotion and selling of that piece of work.”
“I think I’ll be honest and straight-forward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying. But I do very much miss using my skill-set, and I very much miss the art. I just found I got to do so little of the bit that I actually enjoyed,” Watson revealed.
The Harry Potter star added, “The moment you get on a film set, you don’t get very long for rehearsal. But the moment you get to talk through a scene – or I got to prepare and think about how I wanted to do something – and then the minute the camera rolls, and getting to just completely forget about everything else in the world other than that one moment – it’s such an intense form of meditation.”
Watson clarified that although she enjoys the artistic side of filmmaking, she does not enjoy the pressure that comes with it. “It’s so freeing. I miss that profoundly. But I don’t miss the pressure. I forgot it was a lot of pressure. I did a small thing for a play, just with my friends,” she explained. Watson added, “I was like, ‘Bloody hell, this is stressful!’ And that wasn’t even for a real public audience or anything. I don’t miss that.”
