While a star may have their breakthrough role from their breakthrough film, but they can only go sar riding on that wave of fame and achievement. This was especially true for Emma Watson, who will forever be Hermione Granger from the iconic Harry Potter franchise. Therefore, she decided to step out of her character’s shadow and pursue her career as a distinguished individual.
Therefore, after the end of the franchise, the star went on to find her footing in a new environment in the film industry to make a name for herself. And when she least expected it, a meeting for her then-upcoming film was so unusual, yet so pleasant that she cannot help but remember it fondly.
Emma Watson Had An Unusual Meeting With The Director OfThe Perks Of Being A Wallflower
For the better part of the decade, the industry as well as the entire world knew English actressEmma Watsonas Hermione Granger, something that was commendable. But deep down, she wanted to be known for other films and roles in the industry as well, which led her to look for opportunities. That opportunity came with her 2012 romance drama filmThe Perks of Being a Wallflower.But what makes this film special apart from being her first flick outsideof Harry Potterwas the conversation she had with the director of the film before.
In a past interview withEntertainment Weekly, theBeauty and The Beaststar talked about meeting Stephen Chbosky when she was chosen for the role of Sam in the film. She said that the first time she met him was an unusual meeting for her since he had some tall claims about her future. She remembered him saying that this film was going to be a very pleasant experience for her as she would make a lot of new friends and experiences. While she thought he was just trying to cheer her on, those claims were actually on the mark. She said:
“At our initial meeting, he said, ‘Okay, not only is this going to be one of the most important parts you play, you’re also going to have the summer of your life and meet some of your best friends.’ I thought, ‘That’s quite a claim. Who is this guy? Everything he said came true.”
And with the release of the film, she got exactly what she’d hoped for along with the things that the director claimed she would.
