Emma Watson is out

[pamelasheridan]

She's set for life. No need for her to work anyway.

Actors who get out before they have a chance to become villains in the Hollywood Politics game are the smart ones.

Daniel: continued acting, but hasn’t hit it as big as he did with Potter.
Emma: Flourished as an actress and took a break to focus on other aspects of her life.
Rupert: Ice cream truck :)

Emma Watson has more than enough money to retire comfortably at this point.

[baronwarborn]

She has 85 million reasons to leave acting

[singerdude]

Rickman was talking about them as kids. They were inexperienced and needed a director that was not managing a blockbuster franchise. That or an acting coach. Everyone remembers at least one moment where she would enunciated everything too much. It was charming and cute for a kid but they all needed training

This totally took the comments out of context

[spannajupiter]

I think her quitting is a smart choice

[stevebutler]

I don’t care what profession I was in, if I had $85 million you’d never fucking hear from me again. I would literally hire somebody full-time 24 seven to make sure nobody knew where I was what I was doing or anything about me so I could have nothing but my money and my privacy.

She is a real life Hermione. More interested in books than acting

[purp]

If the tabloids treated me like they did her, I would want to leave too honestly

[OptionNoMore]

How often do people say that if they won a lottery, they would quit work and pursue whatever they desire? So Emma has $85 mil. Shouldn't be surprising that she wants to pursue her own projects. Why bother committing to acting and the bull that comes with fame. She can live a chill life, low key. Good for her.

Good on her. She made her money and can now live a normal life. Hollywood is evil.

Jk Rowling DID NOT personally pick Emma Watson for the role of Hermione. She didn’t even know who she was until after she had the role and they were filming. And while she did know Evanna Lynch (character Luna) through some correspondence when Evanna suffered from an eating disorder, she found out she got the role and was pleasantly surprised. She had no say in deciding the roles for anybody in the HP movies. She sold the rights to Warner Brothers.

Much respect for someone who has the wisdom to stay away after they get to a good level of success. It is wise to focus on other parts of life instead of being drawn like a moth to a flame.

Outside of her role in Harry Potter, her playing Sam in the Perks of Being a Wallflower was my favorite

[SurvivalBetty]

It was her diction, not her acting. He was actually quite fond of them all and stated they needed structure and direction, as they were all so young in these big roles. This is not "terrible acting".

[lynnhall]

She made a success of acting without ever appearing nude or doing sex scenes, thus retaining her dignity and integrity. Much respect! ✊

[offworlder]

She made more money then most people will ever see, she probably saved and invested it so she no longer has to work. Leaving for good reasons like relationships, business, and education means she can now pursue a different goal and has the funds to do so.

I’m happy for Watson. I just don’t understand how she’s been getting so much attention over the last few weeks. She wants to focus on her own goals so just let her do so.
