Watson, who found fame when she was just a child Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie franchise, hasn’t taken on an acting role in four years - with her only recent appearance on screen being the unscripted Harry Potter reunion show last year.
In an interview with FT, Watson, 33, has shared why she decided to take a hiatus from acting, revealing that she was starting to feel ‘caged’ and unhappy.
“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. 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.”
“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, ” she said.
“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, before fans get too upset - Watson has said she does see acting in her future, but is happy to wait for the right project to come along, rather than throw herself into something she’s not sure about.
When asked if she plans to return to the industry, she said: “Yes, absolutely. But I’m happy to sit and wait for the next right thing. I love what I do. It’s finding a way to do it where I don’t have to fracture myself into different faces and people. And I just don’t want to switch into robot mode any more. Does that make sense?”It seems everyone wants them to be married, have a house, and multiple children by the time they enter their third decade. The fear is that if they don't adhere to these narrow ideas of femininity, that they will wind up lonely and depressed for the rest of their lives.
That's making the assumption that women with children and a significant other are somehow happier than those who are single. It also assumes that a woman cannot be fulfilled by their careers and hobbies or by simply being themselves.
Emma Watson Has Given A Brutally Honest Interview On Her Child Stardom
Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London School of Economics, says that marriage and children don't necessarily make a woman happier. In fact, for many, it's the opposite.
We do have some good longitudinal data following the same people over time, but I am going to do a massive disservice to that science and just say: if you're a man, you should probably get married; if you're a woman, don't bother., Doan said at the hay Festival.
Actress Emma Watson, who plays Meg in the upcoming Little Woman, is turning 30 soon but has decided to let go of the pressure that comes it and has a new way of defining what it means to be single.
Emma Watson Explains Why She Stopped Acting In Films For Four Years
I was like, 'Why does everyone make such a big fuss about turning 30? This is not a big deal…' she told British Vogue.
Cut to 29, and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I feel so stressed and anxious. And I realize it's because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around, she said.
If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you're not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you're still figuring things out, she continued. There's just this incredible amount of anxiety.

I never believed the whole 'I'm happy single' spiel, she continued. I was like, 'This is totally spiel.' It took me a long time, but I'm very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.

There is something very powerful in Watson's ability to find self-fulfillment. Some of us are so busy looking to be fulfilled by other people whether they are romantic partners, friends, and family, that we don't realize that, in the end, we have the ability to be happy all by ourselves.
Does Emma Watson Recall The Exact Moment She 'fell In Love' With Harry Potter Costar Tom Felton?
Sometimes it feels like moms can't win. We're supposed to give our all for our kids, sacrifice ourselves for motherhood, fulfill the various responsibilities of child-rearing, and do it all under two unwritten but well-understood rules: 1) Never mess it up, and 2) Never complain.
It's the second rule that feels particularly cruel since the first rule simply isn't possible anyway. (Moms mess up motherhood all the time, even if we don't admit it.) But when we vent about the hard parts, the response is often dismissal, as if we don't have the right to complain or as if doing so means we're not grateful to have our kids.
A viral video from My Kinda Mum illustrates the absurdity of the way people respond to mom complaints with a little script-flipping roleplay.
Seth Rogen Clarifies Interview Comments On Emma Watson
The video opens with a man coming home and complaining about traffic, only to be met with Well if you didn't want to deal with traffic, you shouldn't have learned how to drive. And when he tries to explain that he likes driving, but sometimes it's annoying when traffic gets bad, the response is Your choice. Live with it.
Sounds silly, right? But moms are told that all the time when we dare to point out parts of motherhood that are frustrating.
Next up comes a business owner who won an award for Start-up of the Year, who mentions that it's been hard work with all the drama of managing people. If you didn't want to manage a business, you shouldn't have started one, is the response, which of course, no one ever actually says to business owners when they vent about parts of their work because it sounds…well, ridiculous and dismissive.
They Might Have Broken Up
Love this couldn't believe my ears when I was told it was your choice to have kids .. yes and they're my world but once in a blue moon I still need a tiny bit of me time, wrote one commenter.
This is how my siblings talk to me, shared another. Like I absolutely love my kids, I wanted to be a mom. None of that changes because I'm having a difficult time.
But it wasn't just moms who saw themselves in this video. Several people in service jobs said they also get that kind of dismissal of their experience whenever they share struggles.
Seth Rogen Says Emma Watson Did Not Storm Off This Is The End Set
Same for teachers, wrote another. 'You chose it. You knew the salary. You have summers off. Do it for the children.' Being a mom is hard. I hate comments like these to anyone!
I'm a teacher and my ex used to dismiss and invalidate my tiredness at the end of each day like this all the time, shared another. Kids are hard work. We teachers get it. Hats off to all the mums and teachers in the world!
Dismissing anyone's difficulties when they share them is unkind. Just because someone is letting off steam about some aspect of their work doesn't mean those difficulties weren't expected or that they don't love what they do. Let's practice letting people vent without making them feel like they don't have a right to complain. We all deserve the space to share our struggles and the grace to not be judged for them.
Seth Rogen Clarifies “bulls***” Notion Emma Watson Was Unprofessional On 'this Is The End'
There are plenty of viral videos involving children that are perfectly harmless. Kids are naturally hilarious, and it's not unusual for parents to capture their wee ones saying or doing something adorably funny.
At , we often share cute viral kid videos, like the Italian preschooler who gesticulates like an old Sicilian grampa or the 4-year-old snowboarder in a dinosaur suit or the 3-year-old with incredible moves dancing alongside choreographed dancers. These are kiddos just doing what they do—genuine, wholesome kid moments caught on video.
Sometimes we share viral kid videos that are clearly set up, often with some kind of a positive parenting lesson included. But such videos are a far cry from a viral TikTok trend that involves parents cracking eggs on their children's heads and recording their reactions.
Emma Watson Praises Harry Potter Play
The egg crack challenge involves parents cooking with their little ones—almost always a fun activity for kids—but when it comes time to break open an egg, the parent unexpectedly cracks it on the child's head instead of the side of the bowl. The child's stunned/confused/nervous reactions sometimes result in crying, sometimes laughter, and the unpredictable nature of it is what seems to be entertaining people.
I'm not going to share any of the videos here because the whole point is to rack up views and I don't want to contribute to the problem. But let's
