In an interview with the FT, Watson, who rose to fame playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film adaptations, said that the industry had started to make her feel “caged”. 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.” Watson, who has also starred in films such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower and 2017’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, went on to lament that she didn’t “have a voice”, when being interviewed. Emma Watson “And I started to realise that I only wanted to stand in front of things where if someone was going to give me flak about it, I could say, in a way that didn’t make me hate myself, ‘Yes, I screwed up, it was my decision, I should have done better.’” However, Watson did affirm that she will return to acting at some point in the future. Does that make sense?” In other news, Watson’s body double recently revealed which notorious Harry Potter scene she had to covertly appear in, after Watson suffered an allergic reaction.
