EMMA WATSON’s manager has addressed rumours that the Harry Potter star has “retired” from acting for good, after disappearing off of the scene since 2019. And fans will be pleased to know that she has NOT!
Fans of Emma Watson, 30, are rejoicing after her manager confirmed she hasn’t packed in her acting career, despite the numerous reports claiming she has gone “dormant”. It was reported by several publications that she had taken a step back from the limelight to spend time with her boyfriend, Leo Robinton.
But now, her agent has made it clear that her career is very much alive and fans are over the moon.
“Emma’s social media accounts are dormant but her career isn’t,” Watson’s manager Jason Weinberg of Untitled Entertainment clarified in a statement to Entertainment Weekly on Thursday.
Her Instagram bio currently reads: “Emma’s official Instagram page is currently dormant and is not being updated”, with her last post dated back in June 2020.
She also hasn’t posted on her Twitter account since August 2020.
The Mail Online originally reported that a source claimed she had gone “underground” in Los Angeles, investing time in her relationship with Robinton.
“Emma has gone underground, she is settling down with Leo,” the insider told the publication.
“They’re laying low. Maybe she wants a family.”
The pair have dated for over a year and have been hauled up together in LA amid the coronavirus pandemic.
