I thought she did that halfway through the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Ha ha, funny, but mostly true.

Despite huge fame and 'profile' she hasn't done much in the last 10 years since the Harry Potter films ended other than being a bit of a dick in interviews. The only film she's been in that made any sort of money was another Kids film (Beauty and the Beast), the rest is mostly supporting roles in 5/10 films.

Doubt she'll starve though.

Yeah, I can imagine it now, £40 a month to have a fully clothed Watson sternly lecture us poor Muggles about Feminism, Climate Change and Poverty from one of the multi million pound homes in London, Paris, LA,o r perhaps from the Ski Lodge in the Alps? Owned by Falling Leaves Ltd, her Umbrella Company based in the Virgin Islands. Or perhaps from a private jet as she flies around the world using her Beauty to be a human clotheshorse for Burberry and their sweatshop made garments.

Saying that, I know some people love that ha ha.

I think that's a harsh overview. Had a release most years since Potter and in some big movies like Noah ($500+ million), and stuff like The Perk of being a Wallflower and Little Women were critically and commercially successful.

Even the dross has other big names in most of the time so probably paid well, and can't blame anyone for making a living.

As you say with $80 million in the bank if acting isn't her thing right now it is not like she will be stacking shelves in Tesco any time soon.

Few too many weasel words in that opening post link for it to be confirmed as true. I am guessing the film industry is pretty dead at the moment anyway

I think it would reasonable to assume Cage has earned a lot more than $80m and spent it.

Steaks cost more than lentil salads.

A luvvie Champagne socialist who’s a raving hypocrite?

Imagine my surprise !

$80 Mill ? Holy smoke ! I’ve really wasted the last 35 years of my life. I should have tossed it off at acting school and lectured plebs instead of working 60-80 hour weeks.

So, she’s giving up acting and her hubby to be is a former drug pusher.

I predict a Whitney Houston-style meltdown and ending in a few years time...

Child star, Loads of money when young. Roles drying up, possible bad influences in early adult life.

It’s got a lot of the ingredients of something potentially going wrong.

No idea who that is but you see it loads with young celebrities and other people who achieve high points in their careers (and loads of money) at an early age.

Really?

Whitney is probably one of the top five best female voices of the 20th century.. and you’re comparing her to a (very successful child actor) that you had many an angry sock wk to?

Hermione can do whatever she wants, that privilege comes with success
