Emma Watson reportedly retires from acting; ‘Harry Potter’ fans go into a meltdown – Times of India
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Emma has gone ‘dormant’, stated her agent who went on to claim that she’s ‘given up acting’.
The report further states that Emma, who has been an actress since she was 9, has decided to a step back from the limelight. She is reportedly looking forward to spending time with her rumoured fiancé, Leo Robinton, with who she has been romancing for about 18 months.
The actress is also not taking on any new projects.
With these swirling rumours, came a wave of reactions from fans on social media. Those following Emma’s work from her ‘Harry Potter’ days, right up to her 2019 film ‘Little Women’, expressed their shock over the news. While some wished her the best and respected her decision to leave behind show business, there were many others who were left in absolute shambles.
