I've seen some interviews of actresses that I'm familiar with having seen their work. Phoebe Dynevor and Nicola Coughlin (Bridgerton) and Hannah Britland (Lovesick) come to mind. They all describe how difficult it is to go from audition to audition and face the inevitable rejection and to be looking for work. All three of those indicated they were close to leaving the business. And in fact Hannah Britland did quit acting (she now is in a Masters program in college and models). As hard as it is to conceive of a well know actress leaving the business perhaps Emma and others want to leave that rat race. And Emma likely has a large bank account so what does she have to prove?


Emma isn't exactly Meryl Streep, where she can do whatever she wants, but I doubt she's pounding on doors for auditions like those women might be. She's probably sifting through offers most of the time.

I wish I could retire at that age. It’s prolly different for child actors who make bank early. I imagine the life isn’t all what it’s cracked to be as a youth. Zero privacy. Lots of pressure. Limited contact with more normal friends.


Macaulay Culkin has said as much in interviews since he came back into the public eye. He pretty much got sick of it all and b/c he was lucky enough to to make enough money to live comfortably he now pretty much does what makes him happy.

Hot? You into boy bodies?

Put her side by side with someone like Hayley Atwell who is a smoke show and see how that comment holds up.

Oh I agree. But there are a lot of actresses and only a few who can choose like Meryl Streep or Emma Stone for that matter. To me it looks like a tough business that is not kind to but a few aging actresses. Many just fade away. Emma has the luxury of being an OK actress but having made her fortune young in life. And then she has that Ivy League education to fall back on.
