Emma Watson tells fans what she's been doing for 'past four or five years' in new interview

Emma Watson may have appeared in her most recent film back in 2019, but she has been quite busy since then.

The Harry Potter star was last seen on the big screen in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women released four years ago and starring Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen and Timothée Chalamet.

While acting doesn't seem to be part of Watson's plans at the moment, the actor and activist is going through an 'exciting' phase, as she revealed in a recent interview.

During a Vogue 'What's in my bag' video segment, Watson admitted she carries a tarot deck with her when she travels for a quick daily reading. Gifted to her by a friend, the classic tarot deck allowed Watson to do a live reading on camera, learning about what the future has in store for her.

The star pulled the world card, reading its meaning on her phone.

"The world represents an ending to a cycle of life, a pause in life before the next big cycle beginning," she read aloud.

"It is an indicator of a major and inexorable change of tectonic breadth so it stands for achievement, fulfilment, possibilities and potentially successful conclusions."

Reflecting on the card, Watson explained: "I have been sowing a lot of seeds over the last four or five years.

"You can’t always be in the reaping stage or the harvest stage in life. Life has seasons.

"For me, the card speaks about a kind of ripeness, things coming to fruition. Exciting."

This month, Watson looked back on her acting career, saying she felt 'caged'.

"The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn't have very much control over," she told Financial Times.

"It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process."

Speaking about returning to acting, Watson reassured fans, saying it is definitely a possibility, but she wants to wait for the right project.

"But I'm happy to sit and wait for the next right thing. I love what I do," she explained.

"It's finding a way to do it where I don’t have to fracture myself into different faces and people. And I just don’t want to switch into robot mode anymore. Does that make sense?"

In the meantime, Watson has launched a wine-inspired gin with her brother Alex, called Renais.

She also stepped behind the camera to direct a short movie to promote a new Prada fragrance, teasing that wasn't the last time we'll see her direct.
