Despite possessing enormous wealth and worldwide fame, Emma Watson still has an obsession that few people know about.

The unexpected reason behind 5 years of “disappearance ”

‏Emma Watson was born in 1990, famous worldwide since childhood when she played the witch Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series . She continued to impress when appearing in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) and recently Beauty and the Beast (2017), Little Women (2019).‏

‏However, in reality, Emma Watson has not acted in a movie since December 2018, when she finished filming the adaptation of “Little Women”. After that, the British star turned to business. In 2020, she was invited by Kering fashion group – Gucci’s parent company – to join the board of directors, standing on par with many other successful entrepreneurs.‏

‏It was not until a recent interview with the Financial Times that Emma Watson said for the first time that she felt “not very satisfied” with her career as an actress. That’s why she stopped acting at the end of 2018, and until now there is no specific plan to return to this job.‏

‏Watson said that as the star of a movie, she feels like all criticism is directed at her, or that she is responsible for problems she has no control over.
‏

‏”I feel like I’m locked in a cage, and one of the hardest things is answering questions that I can’t control. For example, when a new movie comes out, every reporter can ask me: ‘Is that detail really relevant to your point of view?’. It’s difficult to be the face and spokesperson for something like that,” the British star said.‏

‏However, Watson said, he will continue to wait for the right opportunities to once again stand in front of the camera. She said: “I’m happy waiting for the next right thing. I love what I do and don’t need to try to be different people to please others.”‏

‏Emma Watson’s answer also partly refuted last year’s rumors, when many newspapers said that the reason she gave up acting was to spend time with her rumored fiance. Watson’s manager also confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that: “Emma’s social network accounts are dormant, not her career.”‏

‏ Q in the past “struggled” for fame

‏The Harry Potter series is a film series that grossed 7.7 billion USD worldwide and has captured the hearts of audiences globally, even in 2023 people are still watching and enjoying the film. The brilliant success has brought explosive popularity to the young cast. However, not everyone enjoys being the center of attention, and Emma Watson is one of them.

‏‏ Living a life of luxury and fame may sound appealing, but the complete loss of privacy in public is also a big problem. ‏

‏In an interview with British Vogue, Emma Watson shared that she was only 9 years old when she became a star and that since then, she has struggled to cope with the condition. Female stars sometimes even feel guilty about that. ‏

‏”I sat in therapy and kept thinking: Why me? If it were someone else, they would definitely love and enjoy this aspect more than me. And I struggled a lot with There’s a feeling of guilt around that. I should be excited, I should be grateful, but I really can’t do that,” she said. ‏

‏In a separate interview with Vanity Fair, Watson shared that she loved acting, but movie premieres would make her nervous and often felt like star life wasn’t for her.‏

‏”I’ve been doing this job since I was 10 or 11 years old. Sometimes I often think, is it my fault for being too serious? Or am I too picky? Am I unusual?”‏

‏She also often has to repeat herself about her true origins and identity. That gives her a certain weight, helping her find her life’s direction again, rather than becoming a fictional character in any series or movie. ‏

‏”That was one of the things that was extremely difficult for me, because when we worked on this film, the three of us—Dan, Rupert and I—were just kids. appeared to us already like a fantasy story.

‏‏ Therefore , the story of my life has attracted more and more public attention. That’s why I’m ‘obsessed’ about my own private identity. I want there to be a separation between the character I play and myself in real life.”‏

‏Emma Watson’s movements and psychology are easy to understand because she has entered the spotlight since she was very young. In particular, a few years ago, after a speech about feminism, she was threatened by a hacker to post a series of sensitive photos on social networks because her statements made him angry. Watson did not hesitate to express his extreme anger.‏

‏That’s why, despite becoming a famous star with assets worth tens of millions of dollars, Watson’s image in front of the media is always that of a woman with a private life. Audiences have never heard of Emma Watson participating in lavish parties and festivals, splurging on expensive items or getting involved in noisy love affairs. On the contrary, people hear that she goes to school, gives speeches, calls for a change in community awareness and action in the face of painful realities… She herself always believes that her private life is very simple, It’s even boring so fans don’t need to be curious.
