Emma Watson blames the planets for her departure from Hollywood and opens up about a potential return to the big screen

“When you have a privileged place in Hollywood, it becomes very, very clear that there is absolutely no level of success that will make you happy if you don’t love who you are,” confides the actress.

Emma Watsonthe eternal Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter saga, confided in British Vogue on his potential return to cinema. The young actress has not returned to fame since 2018, with The Daughters of Doctor March of Greta Gerwig (released in 2020 in France), but for all that, it has not drawn a definitive line on the 7th art. The actress returns to this decision to “indentation”announced via an Instagram post – according to her the retrograde Saturn would have something to do with it.

“Around my 30s, I was in a period of change and reflection, I wondered “But what’s going on?” and someone told me “Oh, that’s normal Saturn retrograde.” I said to myself: “But why didn’t anyone warn me?” Indeed, I was informed that between the ages of 28 and 32, everything changes.”she confides to the British magazine alongside this post.

Emma Watson explains why she didn’t make a film for 5 years

During this break, the 33-year-old actress made the decision to go behind the camera, notably for the production of a Prada advertisement as well as secret writing projects:

“Being in a very fast-paced career, taking the time to do these things seemed like a really big decision. Choosing to go back, write, study, and get behind the camera was terrifying for me because I’ve never done it before. I’ve always been in front of the camera, I’ve always been an actress.”

She then explains that she decided to devote herself to projects that made her happy, and established a list of priorities allowing her to devote more time to “really stupid things“, like playing pickleball and collecting stickers.

“When you have a place in Hollywood, it becomes very, very clear that there is absolutely no level of success that will make you happy if you don’t love who you are. I enjoyed doing things, but no one was watching.” also says Emma Watson.

The apprentice witch was keen to refocus on those close to her, in particular on her brothers Alex Watson with whom she was able to concoct, not potions, but a brand of gin, entitled Renais.

“After Covid, I really became aware of the importance of building your circle and meticulously investing your time and energy in it.“

Even if nothing is clearly planned for a return to the big screen, Emma Watson never completely ruled out returning as an actress. In the meantime, she prefers to continue her writing projects. In addition to this, she wishes to honor this ambition which drives her for fashion, in an eco-responsible perspective which is close to her heart.
