Hope at last! Emma Watson confirmed she would โabsolutelyโ return to the big screen after stepping away from acting nearly five years ago.
โBut Iโm happy to sit and wait for the next right thing,โ the 33-year-old noted during an interview published Saturday, April 28.

โI love what I do,โ Watson confirmed while having lunch with a news outlet at the Bistrot des Grands Crus in Chablis, France, last September, which was when the interview took place. โItโs finding a way to do it where I donโt have to fracture myself into different faces and people. And I just donโt want to switch into robot mode any more.โ
โDoes that make sense?โ she asked regarding her struggle to have her passions and profession come together as one.

โI wasnโt very happy, if Iโm being honest,โ Watson expressed of her pre-hiatus career.
The last time the actress blessed fans with a role was in December 2018, when she wrapped up production for the 2019 adaptation of Greta Gerwigโs Little Women.
โI think I felt a bit caged. The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didnโt have very much control over. To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, โHow does this align with your viewpoint?โโ the Harry Potter star detailed of her past experiences. โIt was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didnโt get to be involved in the process.โ

โI was held accountable in a way that I began to find really frustrating, because I didnโt have a voice, I didnโt have a say,โ The Perks of Being a Wallflower actress noted, while staying hopeful that future roles will provide her with more of a chance to provide input and match her beliefs and views.
โI started to realize that I only wanted to stand in front of things where if someone was going to give me flak about it, I could say, in a way that didnโt make me hate myself, โYes, I screwed up, it was my decision, I should have done better,'โ Watson concluded.
