1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: You might have noticed Emma Watson has kept a low

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: profile since twenty eighteen's Little Women, not starring in a

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: single film or show since then, and as her acting

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: hiatus approaches the five year marks, she's explained her reasons

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: for stepping away from acting, telling the Financial Times, I

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: felt a bit cage. The one thing I found really

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: hard was that I had to go out and sell

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: something that I really didn't have much control over. To

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: stand in front of a film and have every journalists say,

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: how does this align with your viewpoint? Isn't easy when

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't. It was very difficult to be face to

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: face and a spokesperson for things where I didn't get

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: involved in the process. Emma and she definitely will act

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: again because she loves it, but she's happy to wait

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: for the right thing to come along.

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: That's Direct from Hollywood.
