Nothing wrong in taking a break from the thing that you love the most 🤷‍♂️🙏🏿 kudos to her

[b.y.o.p.]

Everyone needs a break to really find themselves, actors and non actors alike.. She is still young, and taking a break from the spotlight helps to look at things in a different way. Happy for her. Wishing her the best. ❤

I’m glad she’s taking a step back. You be you and do what’s best Emma.

Emma Watson has been criticized for being so out there. Actually she's dialed it back being so out there. It has to be hard to go from no-one to being someone, and then trying just to have a life.

It's important to enjoy life. So many people don't and continue doing what they are doing regardless of the impact on their mental and physical health. Emma is providing a great example of how self care should take priority and getting back to basics is definitely a great grounding technique. Thank you, Emma, for being such an amazing role model in life and in art.

Taking a step back is better than burning out, besides apparently she's back at university doing her masters at the moment which good on her!

[ManOfMonism]

I had trouble suspending disbelief in most of her adult roles. It was just Emma Watson being Emma Watson and trying to act like someone else. It just didn't work.

honestly, she was incredibly typed casted and wasn't getting great roles. she was surpassed by younger actresses incredibly fast.

Good for you Emma I think when you done something for so long you begin to think wow I been doing this a long time. I need a change it take a mature humble person to say this and Emma you are humble. One got to be brave when we make these changes. I recently made a huge change in my career as I came to a point where I thought I given all I can give I can’t give anymore than I have already. I was a bit scared to make the change in my career but it was the best decision I made at first hard for me but now I am beginning to settle into my new job role and it been a great experience I learnt so much about my chacter and me as a person.

Best Decision Emma Watson choose. Kudos to her. 😄😁👍👌🙏📿

[SWEG_WAS_TAKEN]

She has not stepped away from acting she never will and the only reason she is not acting right now is that she cant find the right role to play. Check your sources guys!!!

Shes been working since so little. Im glad shes getting a break.

[elysepezo]

I miss watching her evolve on the screen but she can do whatever she wants and if acting isn't for her anymore we should all respect that. I'll just keep missing her.

[HaleyFlood-foll]

Aww going to miss u Emma I’m a huge fan of urs ever since Harry Potter ur amazing ❤

[molonlave]

I will miss her, such a great actress.

[alcyonae]

The fact is that she’s not sufficiently talented at acting to be as famous as she is. And yet, she is intelligent enough to make an impact. Having a voice that does not hide behind a character is where I see her thriving. Her best performance to date was the UN speech.

[proudream]

I LOVED Emma Watson as a kid when I watched Harry Potter, and I still like her as a person, but I saw her in other films and to be honest she is not that talented. She plays herself.

[kartikastarlight]

The least person i want to step out from acting please come back emmawatson❤❤❤❤❤

[nokitj]

Emma Watson has never felt comfortable being an actor. It was always visible. This is not a temporary break, this is permanent. She's going to have to find something that makes her happy, and it certainly isn't acting.

[Malice]

The way this was presented was is if she has been working nonstop, but I just looked at her filmography and she’s barely done anything. Either way, as long as she’s happy nothing else matters.
