Despite the fact that since her childhood she became one of the most important and famous celebrities due to her participation as Hermione Granger in the film saga of Harry PotterEmma Watson participated in a few other successful productions such as The advantages of being invisible, Beauty and the Beast and his latest project, little womentape with which he chose to retire from acting, thus disappearing from the world of entertainment.
After shocking everyone by walking away from fame and her acting career, the 33-year-old British model and activist began to devote herself to financing companies that are mostly led by women, but it was not until the presentation of the new premium gin launched by her younger brother, who brought her back into the public eye.
Five years after his last appearance in the film industry and before the recent launch of Renais gin, the creation of his brother, Alex Watson, the protagonist of Beauty and the Beast gave an interview for the media Financial Timeswhere she was honest and revealed every detail and the reasons that led her to move away from show business.
According to Watson, moving away from the cameras was due to a profound change in her life, since she felt unhappy and, to a certain extent, caged in a world in which she says she was not so much in control of what was happening, since it was practically putting herself in front of a movie and that all the journalists asked her questions about productions in which she was not involved.
I wasn’t happy, to be honest. I think I felt trapped. I found it really difficult to sell something that I didn’t have much control over. Being in front of a movie and having every journalist ask me what my point of view was. It was very difficult having to be the face and the spokesperson for things that I couldn’t participate in the process.
The pressure from the media to talk about things that she had nothing to do with or something to comment on was so frustrating that it made her feel cornered, so seeing that she would only be in front of people who would criticize her and judged to the point of hating herself, she preferred to walk away and take a break from acting.
They held me accountable in a way that I started to find really frustrating, because I had no voice, no say. I started to realize that I just wanted to be in front of things where if someone was going to criticize me, it was in a way that didn’t make me hate myself, saying to myself, ‘Yeah, I blew it. It was my decision and I should have done better.
Although, currently, she is very happy and involved with her family business, helping her brother with the image, design and art direction of his new gin, Emma does not rule out the idea of returning to acting, but assures that she is waiting for a different proposal that seems appropriate to resume her career as an actress.
