Yoga, Painting, Boyfriends And Theatre: Emma Watson Looks To The Future Now Hermione’s Not Holding Her Back
Emma Watson has been doing a lot of pondering on the next stage of her life. The Noah actress is now on the brink of graduating in English Literature from Brown University and is looking forward to life as a graduate and devoting more time to her passions rather than starring in blockbusters and studying.
Emma Watson Says She's Looking Forward To Yoga, Art & Theatre After Graduating.
She said: ''When I finish my degree, I will have a lot more time to pursue other passions, and I want to figure out what those will be. I love having something completely unrelated to the film industry. I want to find something that will let me use my brain in another way. I like connecting people who aren't part of that industry," via Wonderland Magazine.
The 23 year-old actress elaborated ''I love painting. So maybe I hone in on that and do more art classes? Or maybe something different. I'm a board two certified qualified yoga instructor.'' Having risen to fame on the back on the immensely popular Harry Potter franchise, fame became both a blessing and a curse for the star looking to establish her name as a serious actress.

However, with a growing roster of movies under her belt, Emma is far away from Hermione Granger, which is great according to the Confessions of a Wallflower star. She said: ''I feel like I have so much more to accomplish as an actress. I'd love to try theatre, and that's a whole other thing, and I love to sing.'' She said that she believes her studies will help broaden her career as an actress too.

She explained: ''I've read just about every important classic in English history, which has been extremely handy. It's helped me think in an analytical way. [...] Diving into these stories and characters has given richness in my own life," adding "When I read scripts or look at stories, I have these references for a larger understanding of humanity, I'm sure it will make my job as an actress more interesting."

The Pitfalls Of Fame
So does this mean Emma's about to step away from the limelight for a little while after her Noah promo work? At least for her boyfriend's sake, Emma has indicated she'd like a break from the public eye. She recently started dating 21 year-old Oxford student and rugby star Matt Janney and has said that she dislikes it when her lovers are thrust into the spotlight.

"I don't date people who are famous, and I don't think it's fair that, all of a sudden, intimate details of their personal life are public as a direct result of me. I wish I could protect them," she told Elle Australia.
She shared the lessons she has learned from her career so far, saying that she cares less about what people think of her these days: "I can take criticism on the chin a lot more. As a younger woman, that pressure got me down but I've made my peace with it. With airbrushing and digital manipulation, fashion can project an unobtainable image that's dangerously unhealthy."
Watson stars alongside Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman and Douglas Booth in Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic, which has opened in the US and UK. Based on the Genesis tale of the ark builder who saves his animals after receiving a message from God, Noah has stirred up a lot of controversy amongst religious figures yet had a storming opening weekend at the top of the box office.
Noah is released in cinemas now.
