David Letterman Worried He Was Going To Offend Taylor Swift By Revealing What She Smelled Like During Their Interview
David Letterman’s reveal of what Taylor Swift smelled like wasn’t what the artist and the fans were expecting.
Watson wasn’t too bothered by the moment as she had been a regular on the show over the years. However, she had other disturbing photos go public in the past. One of the photos took place after she had just turned 18.
It was supposed to be a moment of celebration for the actress, but that all changed because of one foul act.
Emma Watson Had To Deal With Other Awful Photos Taken By The Paparazzi
Back in 2016, Watson opened up about a disturbing event that took place when she was 18. Emma was speaking for the United Nations initiative, HeForShe. The actress recalled a moment that was all over the headlines due to the paparazzi crossing the line.
“I remember on my 18th birthday I came out of my birthday party and photographers laid down on the pavement and took photographs up my skirt, which were then published on the front of the English tabloid [newspapers] the next morning,” she said.
Watson continues, “If they had published the photographs 24 hours earlier they would have been illegal, but because I had just turned 18, they were legal.”
Led Zeppelin Let A Detail Slip About Their Encounter With Elvis Presley During Their Interview With David Letterman
Led Zeppelin kept things brief discussing Elvis alongside David Letterman, but they let quite the detail slip about his entourage.
A tough reality for Watson dealing with such photos going viral. She had other malfunctions throughout the years that were also leaked online. All of this pressure in dealing with fame, mixed in with feeling like she was ‘caged’ in by Hollywood, would lead to Watson leaving the industry nowadays and taking a break.
Emma Watson Stepped Away From Acting Feeling ‘Caged’
Doing PR work is part of the game. However, when it came to do the press tour for Watson’s film at the time, The Little Women, the actress refused and did not attend. Following her time in the film, Watson decided to take a break from Hollywood, and she hasn’t returned since.
Creatively, the actress felt like it was time to step aside. It turned out to be the one film she did not want to promote.
“I wasn’t very happy, if I’m being honest. I think I felt a bit 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.”
Watson continues, “To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’ 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.”
For Watson, it came to a point that she only wanted to be involved in projects she truly believed in.
“And I started to realize that I only wanted to stand in front of things where if someone was going to give me flak about it, I could say, in a way that didn’t make me hate myself, ‘Yes, I screwed up, it was my decision, I should have done better,’” she said.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Watson, but clearly, at the moment, she is content with her circumstances.
