Los Angeles, Sep 26 (NationPress) Actress Emma Watson, renowned for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series, shares that her fame and success come with significant personal sacrifices.
"It seems like my persona enters the room unexpectedly, and suddenly I find myself navigating a different conversation if someone hasn't realized it's me yet," she disclosed on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast.
The actress continued, "That can feel incredibly dehumanizing and witnessing someone's behavior shift drastically can be quite a disconcerting experience."
Watson humorously remarked that the dating scene is "essentially a chaotic free-for-all."
She expressed, "I feel fortunate to be in good company regarding this. It's amusing when people occasionally apologize for not having seen my films. I respond, 'No need to apologize. That sounds like bliss to me.' It's music to my ears that I won't be constantly navigating that aspect."
"And for me, interacting with you without the projection of this Emma Watson avatar means I won’t be just a ghost in the room."
In addition, the actress has previously commented on Hollywood's beauty standards, calling them 'wild and insane'.
She stated, "I often feel envious of my male co-stars who can simply throw on a T-shirt and appear without the entire charade of needing to look camera-ready."
"Hats off to Pamela Anderson for her recent boldness because the level of courage it requires is beyond what I can articulate."
Watson even compared the beauty standards of Hollywood to being on a game show, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
She remarked, "It’s outrageous. The expectations are absurd. It’s nearly impossible to meet those beauty standards, and they keep escalating, making it feel like I’m constantly on a survivor island game show of beauty challenges."
