Emma Watson Says Press Tours Are 'Soul-Destroying' as She Teases New Project

The actor remains on hiatus from films as she pursues studies at Oxford.

Overview

  • In a rare Hollywood Authentic interview published Sept. 21–22, Watson said the promotion and selling of movies is "soul-destroying."
  • She stressed she "very much" misses the craft of acting, calling time on set freeing and like an intense form of meditation.
  • Watson said she is "working really hard" on an undisclosed project she described as something she has never done before.
  • Her last feature was 2019’s Little Women, and she has since been studying at the University of Oxford.
  • She said she is "maybe the happiest and healthiest" she has been after shedding the weight of a public persona, and she attended Cannes this year simply to watch films and stay connected to the community.
