Emma Watson’s name is rooted in blockbuster folklore, as a third of the legendary Harry Potter trio.
The movies made famous Daniel Radcliffe (as Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Watson, who played the highly intelligent and unapologetic Hermione Granger.
But in recent years Watson has turned his back on Hollywood, retiring from acting and even letting his social media channels remain “idle.” The message is clear: fans shouldn’t expect to hear from Emma Watson.
Despite this isolation, Watson remains the fodder of the regular tabloids, making headlines this week after actor Seth Rogen revealed that he left the set of his 2013 comedy film This is the End.
While speaking to British GQ, Rogen was asked about the rumored incident in which Watson refused to film a particularly edgy scene for the racy comedy.
“I mean, I don’t look back and think, ‘How dare you do that?’ Know?” Rogen said of the moment. “I think sometimes when you read something, when it comes to life, it doesn’t seem to be what you thought.”
Rogen backed off in his comments the next day, saying that the GQ interview was a misrepresentation of what actually happened.
Born in Paris to lawyer parents, Watson, now 30, was just 10 years old when she was cast in the role of Hermione, her first television or film credit.
She was immediately propelled to worldwide recognition alongside her co-stars, as the debut film became the highest-grossing film in 2001.
As the years passed, Warner Bros produced seven more Harry Potter films, although Watson had no trouble shedding the meaning of his character.
She became a red carpet regular, modeled with the likes of Burberry and Lancome, conducted high-profile interviews, and continued to perform in various roles.
His most recent hits were Disney’s 2017 adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, for which Watson was awarded $ 19.7 million (the film grossed $ 1.26 billion worldwide), as well as the Oscar-nominated film. , Little Women, in 2019 which was her last film credit.
In recent months, Watson has not only withdrawn from acting, but from the public eye entirely.
The actress, who was appointed a goodwill ambassador for UN Women in 2014, has not posted on social media since June last year, and her Instagram bio, which still has 60 million followers, reads: “The official page of Emma on Instagram is currently inactive and is not updating. ” Your profile photo is circled in black and it has been over a year since you last posted a photo of yourself.
His agent told the Daily Mail in February that Watson “was not making any new commitments.”
The post claimed that Watson was enjoying her private life with her fiancé Leo Robinton, whom she has been dating for 18 months.
A source told the publication: “Emma has gone into hiding, she is settling down with Leo. They are in hiding. Maybe she wants a family.”
The couple reportedly lived secretly in Ibiza for several weeks prior to January, spending their mornings reading newspapers about “smoothies in a vegan cafe.”
Now, he’s back in Los Angeles with Robinton, who reportedly makes a lot of money selling legal cannabis in Los Angeles.
Despite her high profile, Watson has always tried to keep her private life private, but that hasn’t stopped the British press from hounding her.
On her 18th birthday, Watson was photographed by paparazzi trying to take pictures under her skirt.
He has also had to deal with numerous stalking threats.
As a result of public interest, Watson has never discussed his romantic relationships.
“I can’t talk about my boyfriend in an interview and then hope that people won’t take paparazzi photos of me walking outside my house. You can’t have both,” she told Vanity Fair in 2017.
In June last year, Watson told Vogue that he had joined the board of directors of Gucci-owned luxury goods company Kering, where he chairs the sustainability committee.
“During this pandemic, like many of us, I have had time to reflect on the work I want to be involved in and what is meaningful to me in the future,” he said.
“Having been so public in making movies and being so active on social media in my activism, I am curious to adopt a role in which I work to amplify more voices, to continue learning from those with different experiences.
“If people notice a new silence in me, it does not mean that I am no longer there or that I do not care! I will just do my job in a different way: less red carpets and more conference meetings!
“This is a unique moment in time and I intend to seize the opportunity it presents for change.”
