Emma Watson reveals she was ‘terrified’ of fame at just 10 years old, sharing how sudden stardom after Harry Potter changed her childhood forever.
Emma Watson admits she was ‘terrified’ of fame at just 10 years old, opening up about the struggles of growing up in the spotlight after Harry Potter.
Actress Emma Watson has revealed that she was “terrified” when her life became a global concern when she was 10. Having become a global star since her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson has become a rising star and is now worth £33 million. She has also been trusted with many other challenging roles. Emma has everything a young girl dreams of: fame, beauty, and wealth. However, she revealed in a recent interview with Porter magazine that she was “terrified” when her life became a global concern when she was 10.
Emma said she envied her friends who could live a normal teenage life without worrying about how to appear on the red carpet or in front of so many paparazzi cameras. Not to mention, she was followed by paparazzi, and any action could easily be captured and made public in the media. The insecure life made Emma feel extremely pressured.
Moreover, her parents’ divorce when Emma was only 5 years old also greatly affected her personal relationships. This beauty shared that it taught her a big lesson that there are no rules in love.
“I’m 35 now and for the first time in my life I feel comfortable. I really do everything I want in the right way,” Emma said. She added that she understood her job clearly and did not want a big separation between the public and private. Despite being more mature, Emma said she still struggled to keep up with her friends, who seemed to understand themselves better than she understood her own.
