Emma Watson Reveals Soul-Searching Pause from Acting

Emma Watson, widely known for her work in acting, recently shared her thoughts on pausing her career, stating she misses acting but not the exhaustive process of promoting films. According to Deadline, Watson described the promotional aspect as 'soul-destroying,' expressing relief at stepping away from it despite her fondness for the craft.

Watson reflected on the disproportionate time spent promoting rather than performing. She expressed a longing for the artistic process and the intense focus experienced on set. 'I miss that profoundly,' she admitted, acknowledging the pressures that often overshadow the joys of acting. She revealed to Deadline her engagement in a new and undisclosed project.

During her hiatus, Watson reportedly feels 'the happiest and healthiest' she has ever been, no longer burdened by maintaining a public persona. She believes letting go of multiple identities has allowed her to become a better friend and family member while paving the way for personal and artistic development.
