Emma Watson hasn’t shot for 7 years … and she doesn’t really miss it

If the 35 -year -old star says still like to play, she admits that the promotional tours “destructive for the soul” have disgusted him from the profession.

While a new Hermione Granger will land very soon in the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson has completely disappeared from radars.

And for good reason: the British actress born in Paris has not appeared on our screens since the daughters of Doctor March of Greta Gerwig (released in December 2019). Since then, she has moved away from the sets, with the exception of some appearances in shows (such as Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: ​​Return to Hogwarts). A break from the industry that has lasted for 7 years and on which she returns in detail in a large portrait directed by the magazine Hollywood Authentic. She admits perfectly to live far from the filming:

“I think I may be the happiest and better health that I have never been …”

But if she feels fulfilled far from Hollywood, the 35 -year -old has not completely given up her career and admits still wanting to play:

“Using my skills I miss a lot. I miss art … this moment when you arrive on a set, you don’t have much time to repeat. But as soon as you can talk about a scene, prepare, think about how you want to play it … and then the camera turns, and you absolutely forget anything but this precise moment … it’s a form of intense meditation. Because you can’t be anywhere. deeply. “

However, we feel well in her words that she should not come back right away, because Emma Watson spent too much time on promo during the 2010s, and not enough to play. She admits: “I felt like I had so little time doing what I really liked in the end …” and when she thinks about it:

“The biggest piece of this job is not the work in itself, but the promotion and sale of this work, of this work of art. The balance is broken quickly. I will be honest: I don’t fail to sell things at all. I found it enough destructive for the soul!”

The other aspect of the acting that does not miss it is the pressure when I go on stage or to speak in front of a camera: “I do not regret the pressure. I had forgotten how much to play, it’s a lot of pressure! I did a little role in a neighborhood room, something for friends. And even there I said to myself: ‘name of a dog, what is it stressful!’ And it was not even for a real role.

Emma Watson resumed her studies in England. She takes writing and literature lessons in the prestigious University of Oxford. She also met her new lover there, Professor Kieran Brown, a British intellectual, a thousand places from Hollywood sequins. The former heroine of Beauty and the Disney beast may one day come back. Desire is there. But for the time being, she assures that “the essential, really – the foundation of my life today – it’s house, friends, family.” She analyzes:

“I worked so hard and so long that my life had ended up collapsing. My foundations stolen under my feet. So I needed to do a reconstruction work. Lonking good bases so that I could then do other things by flourishing. Because if you do not have that, you enter a kind of frenzy, a panic that makes you pass from project to the project, terrified by a vacuum. sense.”

No project in sight, no announcement. Emma Watson is obviously far from a return.
