Harry Potter star Emma Watson took a break at 29, after 4 pm, transformed her into `a crazy person ” who could not hold a conversation

“I sacrificed myself completely for everything I was trying to achieve,” said Watson in an episode of “On purpose” by Jay Shetty yesterday.

“Make movies, the hours on this subject are so demanding, to have your own life alongside, to have this balance is almost impossible”, the star with a net value estimated at $ 85 million has been added.

“You go through this work six days a week, 14 to 16 hours a day – and then you are just deposited at the end, and maybe you will have a difference of two or three months, and then there is nothing.”

The podcast is one of the first long interviews that Watson made in about 5 years, where it expressed the personal record to be one of the biggest Hollywood stars. She says that it happened to the point where the “sensory overload” which comes with the famous made it difficult to carry out simple daily activities.

“Trying to have a normal conversation with anyone is fundamentally impossible because you feel like a crazy person,” she said. “These are not environments in which you really like to chat with someone.”

Even his own generation, the millennials, adopted their career at a snail rate after having cracked under the pressure of the “boss girl” in the last decade.

“I think the fame gives you the impression that you cannot do things by yourself in a way that can really designate you and remove your confidence and your autonomy as a human being that is really disabling,” said Watson.

“I just got to this place where if it costs me part of my peace, it’s just too expensive,” she added.
