Emma Watson is opening up about why she took a break from acting.
In a recent interview with Financial Times, Watson went into detail about why she “wasn’t very happy” working as an actress and felt the best thing for her was to take a step back from acting and recharge. Watson’s last acting credit is 2019’s “Little Women.”
“I think I felt a bit caged,” Watson said. “The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over. To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’ It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process.”
As the star of a movie, Watson felt every critique was directed towards her, or she was held responsible for things she had no control over, something she “began to find really frustrating.”
