Emma Watson explains why she has stayed away from acting

Since 2019, Emma Watson has not taken on another film project. Although she is one of the important figures in the industry, and even stands out as a performer who still has a lot of projection left, she has not made any productions since then..

In statements given to The Financial Times, Emma Watson went back to that 2019 in which she was part of Little Women, a film directed by Greta Gerwig and shot during 2018. In this regard, she commented the following: "I wasn't very happy, if I'm honest. I think I felt a bit caged," she said.

In the aforementioned medium she explained the following, in relation to Little Women: "What I found really difficult was that I had to go out and sell something that I didn't really have a lot of control over. To put myself in front of a film and have all the journalists be able to say, 'How does this align with your point of view (in relation to your side as an activist)?' It was very difficult to have to be the face and spokesperson for things that I couldn't participate in the process."

Emma Watson revealed feeling frustrated by such a situation. "I was held accountable in a way that I started to find really frustrating, because I had no voice, I had nothing to say. And I started to realize that I just wanted to do things where, if someone was going to criticize me, I could respond in a way that didn't make me hate myself." Through these statements, he not only gave an explanation of the aforementioned, but in some way suggested how his method of acting is when stepping into a new role.
