Recently, Emma Watson revealed that she had been exposed to alcohol from an early age. She recalls her relationship with her father, “My dad would give me wine and water for lunch since I was a kid,” the actor said.

Watson told Financial Times’ How to Spend It magazine that she was confused over the teenager’s fascination towards alcohol. She was already familiar with the taste of alcohol and got over the young age fascination towards it. Also, she was befuddled over their tag ‘forbidden fruit’ to the drink for she never had to struggle to achieve a sip of it.

“I was quite surprised when other kids got really excited about the idea of getting their hands on alcohol,” she explained. “So I was pretty confused as a teenager and everyone thought alcohol was a forbidden fruit,” the actor added.

Watson took a break from social media in December 2022 to improve her mental health. Her remarks on alcohol shortly came after her grand return to the socials along with updates on her personal life. The Harry Potter star revealed a lot of detail of her life that her fans missed when she was absent. On social, she said that she’d step away from life to learn surfing. Later she adopted a dog and ripped off a fingernail.

Coming back to the socials, Watson wrote: “This is 33. Holy moly. Before 29 I hadn’t even heard of a Saturn Return as a concept.”

“Let’s just say that now I am well acquainted. I stepped away from my life – I learned to surf (badly), I rode some horses (that went better), I did a lot of therapy (YESS therapy!).”

“My brother and I figured out how to make a gin using recycled wine grapes!?” She also adopted a dog named Sofia in Mexico, who seems to be an angel, not a dog.
