You might have noticed Emma Watson has kept a low
profile since twenty eighteen's Little Women, not starring in a
single film or show since then, and as her acting
hiatus approaches the five year marks, she's explained her reasons
for stepping away from acting, telling the Financial Times, I
felt a bit cage. The one thing I found really
hard was that I had to go out and sell
something that I really didn't have much control over. To

stand in front of a film and have every journalists say,
how does this align with your viewpoint? Isn't easy when
it doesn't. It was very difficult to be face to

involved in the process. Emma and she definitely will act
again because she loves it, but she's happy to wait
for the right thing to come along.
