Emma Watson, aged 30, is believed to have stopped acting, retiring from the industry to reportedly spend more time with her fiancé Leo Robinton.

 

The Harry Potter actress is said to have stopped taking on acting roles after living a life away from the spotlight with partner Leo for quite some time.

Why has Emma Watson quit acting?

Emma’s believed to have quit acting after starring in a string of hugely successful movies, including Harry Potter, Beauty and the Beast, The Perks of being a Wallflower, and Little Women, which was her most recent big-screen role.

Her publicist told the tabloids her career is “dormant” and she “is not taking on new commitments.”

The reason for Emma's retirement is likely due to her having a net worth of $80 million (£57 million), and who needs to work when you’ve got funds like that in the bank?

The Harry Potter film franchise is worth billions, so it’s no surprise starring in the movies has helped the actress build up a fortune enough to live off.

But after a long career in the spotlight, Emma is said to be planning on spending more time with her soon-to-be husband Leo, who reportedly made a hefty amount selling legal cannabis at a company in LA until 2019.

Emma’s Twitter and Instagram accounts have stayed inactive since summer 2020 and sources close to the star say she’s “gone underground.”

The actress is yet to speak out about her retirement.
