![]() ![]() Prada may have been the Ballet Shoes actress’ first attempt at directing, but it’s absolutely not her last as she also revealed to the outlet that she’s got another directing gig for a music video lined up. She may have thought at one point being a director was “unattainable” until she discovered that she’s been around a film set for a big portion of her life. Watson was also able to venture into that creative space when she wrote and directed an advertising campaign for Prada. That way, she can get the creative control she’s always wanted. And I started to realize 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.’Įmma Watson went on to talk about developing more of an interest in roles that take place behind the scenes - including her upcoming venture into making gin with her family. I was held accountable in a way that I began to find really frustrating, because I didn’t have a voice, I didn’t have a say. Actors and actresses perform what’s presented to them, so it makes sense the star was frustrated with being asked about how a project "align with viewpoint" when she wasn't in charge of the creative process. However, that doesn’t mean that you had a say in the writing or the direction your project went in. 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.Īs an actor, your job is to take create a character using your script as a guide. The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over. I wasn’t very happy, if I’m being honest. While speaking to the Financial Times, The Bling Ring actress explained why she decided to step away from the profession that made her a household name. After her role in the Oscar-nominated film Little Women, she's taken a break from acting to focus on other skills she has. She probably won’t break her hiatus with the Harry Potter show ( for many reasons).Emma Watson has been in the spotlight since she was 10 and nailed her iconic role in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. And I just don’t want to switch into robot mode anymore.” It’s finding a way to do it where I don’t have to fracture myself into different faces and people. But I’m happy to sit and wait for the next right thing. When asked if she would return to acting, Watson replied, “Yes, absolutely. “I was held accountable in a way that I began to find really frustrating, because I didn’t have a voice… And I started to realize 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.’” 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 continued: “I wasn’t very happy, if I’m being honest,” she said. The other explanation is that Watson “wasn’t very happy” with the profession, as she revealed in an interview with the Financial Times. The first: she earned gobs (goblets?) of money from playing Hermione in the Harry Potter series, enough to buy a little town full of little people. Emma Watson hasn’t appeared in a movie since 2019’s Little Women. ![]()
