Emma Watson

Emma Watson once opened up about a time where she was instructed to act angry, and why she had a meltdown trying to do so.

“My acting tutor said the hardest thing for me was to get angry,” she once told Harper’s Bazaar (via Belfast Telegraph). “I almost broke down in tears when they tried to get me to be angry. “For a while I kind of bought into the hype of, ‘Will they ever be able to play anything else?’ It gave me a sense of paralysis and stage fright for a while. “And then, I don’t know … it got so bad and people had put me in a box so much that it started pissing me off. “Essentially, I took five years out to study, doing only a few smaller projects, and, to a lot of people, it seemed like I was passing up a lot of opportunity. This was because the star felt taking a break was necessary to explore herself. To further expand her skills, the actor has since starred in a variety of roles that require all different ranges of emotion.
