    Emma Watson Instagram
    Emma Watson: Recently the actress opened up about why she took an acting break. The star, who rose to fame starring in the Harry Potter franchise as Hermione Granger, said "I think I felt a bit caged," Watson told Financial Times in a recent interview. "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. 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." The star announced in 2016 that she was taking a break after filming ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘The Circle’. Image Credit: Instagram/emmawatson

    Aamir Khan
    Aamir Khan, who is often called Mr Perfectionist decided to take a break from facing the camera after his 'Laal Singh Chaddha' debacle to focus on his family. Khan hasn’t done so in the last 35 years. "When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It's a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it's a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break, be with my family, with my mom, my kids,” said Khan to Indian media. Image Credit: insta/ amirkhanactor_

    190827 Eddie Murphy
    Eddie Murphy: When you are given the worst actor award, you tend to take stock of your career. Eddie Murphy did that in 2010 when he was given the Razzie award for being bad at his job. In a 2021 podcast, he said: “I was only gonna take a break for a year, then all of a sudden six years go by, and I’m sitting on the couch and I could sit on the couch and not get off it, but I don’t want the last bunch of [expletive] they see me do [to be] [expeletive],” Eddie said on the “WTF With Marc Maron” podcast in March 2021. But he was back in 2019 with Dolemite Is My Name after starring in Mr. Church three years prior. Image Credit: AP
