in the columns of Financial Times On April 28, the actress removed the veil that prompted her to stay away from the cinema for about 5 years.
At just 11 years old, he planted the London setter on Hermione Granger’s skin. For a decade, Emma Watson has chained movie sets Harry Potter . A saga that discovered him and, above all, allowed him to adopt a fruitful career; Benefits of Being a Wallflower (2012), A bling ring (2013), Colony (2015), Retrograde (2015)… So many feature films in which he starred, adding to his long list of concurrent projects: an ambassador for Lancôme alongside Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Julia Roberts, she then created her own fair and environmentally responsible clothing line, Love from Emma, designed by People Tree. And sang Beauty and the Beast (2017) – a musical in which a Brit played (obviously) Belle.
Careers are short
But after such a whirlwind of productions, films, requests, it was too much for the actress. So much so that after filming Little Women (Dr. March’s Daughters), He went on hiatus in 2018. Then Emma Watson disappeared from the screens and that voluntarily. If until then he was silent about the reasons for leaving the film sets, he finally lifted the veil on what prompted him to stay away from himself. The issue is these countless collaborations that prevented him from flourishing. “I think I felt like I was in a cage,” the actress told the Financial Times column on April 28. “What was really difficult for me was that I had to go out and sell something that I didn’t really have control over. Presenting a film and making sure I can answer every reporter who asks me “How does that make your point?” It was very difficult to be the embodiment and spokesperson of those things, the creation of which I did not participate,” continues the British.

On all fronts, despite everything
Emma Watson heard herself. And not because he stopped the cinema, at this point he remained passive. Today, at the age of 33, she is not afraid to speak out about topics dear to her, primarily ecology and feminism. A UN Women Goodwill Ambassador for the empowerment of young women, a spokesperson for the fight against gender and sexual violence… She has become a true feminist icon through her speaking out.
And that’s not all. This month, the young woman is launching her own brand of gin is prepared France, “Renaissance,” along with his brother, Alex Watson. “Carbon neutral” bottles, he says on his Instagram account.
Produced in Yonne, Burgundy-Franche-Comte, the drink is made from processed grapes directly from the family vineyards; their father, Chris Watson, has owned a wine estate there for twenty years. He was also born in France. his parents, then both lawyers, settled in Evelyn. He therefore grew up at Maisons-Laffitte until the age of 5, before following his mother to Oxford when the couple split in 1995.
It was then that Chris Watson ventured into the wine business and was quick to initiate it. “Dad used to give me water with wine for lunch since I was a child. I didn’t think alcohol was for getting drunk. So I didn’t really understand when I was a teenager and everyone thought alcohol was forbidden fruit,” he recalls. It has nothing to do with cinema, although he does not completely rule out the idea of returning to this medium. Last winter, she wrote and directed a Prada ad campaign in which she also starred. A “very big” moment for him. Maybe something will help him find his way to the plateaus. Time does not press. “I’m happy to wait for the next good opportunity. I like what I do. It’s about finding a way to do that without dividing myself into different faces and people,” she says. And finally. “I don’t want to go into robot mode anymore.”
