Emma Watson spent the better part of her life filming and appearing on the big screens, apart from being a top-tier actor, she was also the world’s highest-paid actress, and also one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Just like many other actors in the industry, Watson also grew up in the industry as she started acting at a very young age and landed many blockbuster roles. At the age of 24, she was appointed as the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and she received immense praise and applauds for it.
Emma Watson received early recognition in the industry with her lead role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise and spent her entire teenage days on the sets of Harry Potter movies. She gave many record performances during that time and even after that her performance in multiple movies was top-class.

Emma Watson Conveys Her Feelings Against Filming
Emma Watson is a very talented actress and ever since her early childhood days, she has done a magnificent job with her acting and with conveying her feelings through the big screen. Watson’s ability was highly regarded in the industry and within no time she rose the ladder in Hollywood and became the highest-paid female actor. Her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise attracted much attention and she was even awarded on multiple occasions for her performance. Even after the franchise ended, she received multiple opportunities to prove herself which she did not fail to do so, and produced many more blockbusters.
“I wasn’t very happy, if I’m being honest. I think I felt a bit caged. 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”
During an interview with Financial Times, Emma Watson shares that even though she has had a very successful Hollywood career, even though her movies were immediate blockbusters, and received proper ratings, she did not like filming in many of those. She continues that she had to put on a mask while filming as different movies want different leads and it was wearing her down. Apart from these, Watson also shared that she did not like standing in front of the media and answering questions about her role and performance, the performance over which she did not have control over.

In the interview, she further shares that as she has been around the wine industry for quite a long time, she is really attached to it, as the memories that she holds are quite rich.
“I can’t say where the journey will go. I’m sure we’ll make mistakes. But I can vouch for Alex, I know who he is. I’ve seen what this is. I’ve literally picked the grapes myself.
People always told me I should direct and produce, even when I was on Potter. I was worried it was just technical, not creative, and I couldn’t bring what I think is probably my skill set.”
