She could just fuck off and never work again and be just fine. Can't blame her for not wanting to again subject herself to intrusive scrutiny while also trying to sell a product
Last thing I remember from her is how she got shit for dating a football player. The pathetic half of the internet was in a parasocial relationship with her. Can’t blame her for not being willing to deal with this crap.
Last thing I heard she lost her driving licence for speeding. Don't blame her for moving out of the limelight in the slightest, totally wish I could just potter at my own stuff for the rest of my life!
Her stance on transgender issues has put her – as well as co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint – in direct opposition to Rowling, and their ongoing feud continues to make headlines.
This is probably a big part of it now. Twitter addict Rowling is out there constantly spouting off and all the parasocial fans and Hollywood media expect Watson to be making statements in response. That has got to be emotionally draining, given how toxic that debate has become in the West.
Seems like she's successful enough that she could have her agent just demand that she's unwilling to do any marketing.
That’s not what the industry does.
She might as well applying to be a butcher that doesn’t want to slaughter and process animals.
Thats the job. Thats the industry. They sell toxic products using “stories” and pretty faces.
There are some talents so great that they could get away with this and much more. Brando comes to mind.
But they're obviously the exception to the rule.
A former child star isn't an automatic ticket seller. Her name isn't synonymous with a "movie that needs to be seen". She isn't a Hanks or Cruise, or DiCaprio or Streep (while any of them were in their heyday). Someone like them could get away with it. So long as they took a smaller paycheck, at least.
It does seem like a Mitch Hedberg bit. 'Hey you're a great comedian... can you act? Hey you're a great chef... can you farm?'
The first Potter book was published right before our son learned how to read so he got to grow up with that story in a solar way that I got to grow up with Star Wars. The Potter books were a huge part of his developement.
She was perfect as Hermione, I wish her all the success she wants.
For over a decade she was one of the most famous people in the world. That is not a pleasant fishbowl to live in so I totally get not wanting that lifestyle.
