Emma Watson has no regrets about stepping back from acting.

Emma Watson has no regrets about stepping away from acting.

Reason why emma wants to  step back  is that she “wasn’t very happy” with the profession. “I think I felt a bit caged,” Watson said. “The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over.

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress – who shot to fame when she was just 11 years old playing Hermione Granger in the wizarding franchise – hasn’t really appeared on screen since 2019 movie ‘Little Women’ and she appreciates the control she’s regained over her life.

She told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “I’m just so glad that I did because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don’t think I did before – more autonomy.

I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”

The 33-year-old star admitted she was struggling throughout her time in the spotlight but quickly understood acting success was no guarantee of happiness.

She said: “I get a front row seat [with] some of the most successful, beautiful, incredible people in the world.

“And when you have that seat it becomes very, very clear that there is just absolutely no level of success that will make you in any way happy or content if you do not like who you are or enjoy what you’re doing when no one’s watching.

But the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ actress has found happiness with her beloved rescue dog Sofia, who she adopted from Mexico.

She gushed: “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

“I was always judgemental about people who were really obsessed with their pets and then I became one of those people.
