The Harry Potter star, who has not acted in a film since 2018, says she found promotion duties ‘soul-destroying’ but is now ‘maybe the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been’
Emma Watson has spoken out about her decision to pause her acting career in favour of academia in a new interview with Hollywood Authentic.
The star, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has not acted in a film since December 2018, when she completed work on Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Little Women, and said she was now “maybe the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been”.
She continued by saying that while she had enjoyed the work itself, the ancillary duties of promotion were less to her taste.
“The bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work, this piece of art. The balance of that can get quite thrown off,” Watson said.
