"She hasn't appeared on the big screen since Little Women in 2019, but whether or not she is a celebrity, or even an actor, has been the subject of focus ever since. Watson has nothing new coming out - she still hasn't acted, let alone directed or written anything - but in the past week, she has had two interviews promoting, well, not doing promotional work. Her anti-press-tour press tour promotes one thing and one thing only: Emma Watson."
"She's clearly selling something, but it's not a film or even her artisanal gin she works with her brother on. Instead, she's promoting a kind of self-awareness she has not often shown - she's confessing, perhaps later than one would expect, that her life is nuts. She knows her life is nuts. And part of why she stepped away from the world of acting was to process how nuts it is to be an actor, a famous person, and a public figure."
Emma Watson has not appeared in a film since Little Women (2019) and has no new acting, directing, or writing credits. She recently returned to public conversations to center her own experience rather than promote a project. She says she is showing up for herself and misses using her skill set and the art of acting, while finding press tours soul‑destroying. She acknowledges cognitive dissonance in promoting a private reckoning through publicity. She stepped away from acting to process how intense and disorienting life as a famous public figure can be.
