„Harry Potter“ star Emma Watson calls film promotion „soul-destroying“ and admits she does not miss selling movies despite missing the actual craft of acting.
Emma Watson is getting real about the acting world.
In a recent interview with People magazine, the 35-year-old „Harry Potter“ star reflected on her acting career and the parts of the job she has missed since taking a step back from on-screen work.
While looking back on her career as a child star, Watson admits, „In some ways I really won the lottery [with acting]“, and that what she experienced was „so unusual“, but noted that there were parts of the job she is happy to leave behind.
„But a bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work, this piece of art“, she explained. „The balance of that can get quite thrown off. I think I’ll be honest and straightforward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying.“
Watson shot to stardom when she starred as Hermione Granger in the first „Harry Potter“ movie, at the age of 11.
