Why Emma Watson Says She Can’t Rewatch Her ‘Uncomfortable’ Stripping Scene In ’10/10′ Film

Emma Watson has opened up about a scene in one of her most beloved films that she still finds too uncomfortable to watch — even years later.

Emma Watson once explained why she still can’t bring herself to rewatch an “uncomfortable” stripping scene from one of her most well-known films — a movie that has just been added to Netflix and continues to be a fan favorite.

The actor, who has recently been in the spotlight again amid her ongoing feud with author J.K. Rowling, has always made it clear that she’s not interested in doing nude or drug-related scenes just to move away from her image as Hermione Granger.

That said, Watson has appeared in several films with more mature themes compared to the Harry Potter series. One of those is a film that’s widely considered a “10/10” classic by fans — and it just hit Netflix on November 4.

In the movie, Watson stars alongside Logan Lerman and several other big names in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, a heartfelt adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s popular novel of the same name.

The story, written and directed by Chbosky himself, follows a shy high school student named Charlie as he struggles with mental health challenges while forming deep friendships that change his life. It’s a touching coming-of-age tale that continues to resonate with audiences more than a decade after its release.

The film holds an 85 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.9 on IMDb, but its loyal fanbase and cult following suggest that its impact goes far beyond the numbers.

One IMDb reviewer summed up the audience sentiment perfectly, calling it a “10/10 movie” and writing: “This movie is absolutely haunting, a brilliant cast of well known stars and smaller stars come together to deliver something truly unique in a world full of teen dramas… Truly a 10/10 movie.”

Empire’s Dan Jolin praised the film as well, giving it four stars and noting: “An honest, affection-hooking, coming-of-age drama which proves that there is life beyond Hogwarts for Emma Watson.”

Although Watson received glowing reviews for her performance, fans often teased her for her American accent in the movie. Still, she admitted there was one scene that left her feeling completely mortified every time she thought about it.

In one memorable moment, Watson’s character Sam joins her friends in a local stage performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The scene involves the characters wearing revealing costumes, which Watson later admitted made her nervous during filming. Reflecting on the experience, she said: “It doesn’t show but I was absolutely terrified.”

She explained in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that she still can’t watch that scene — or even the kissing scene she shares with co-star Logan Lerman. As she put it: “It’s really funny because when I watch the film back, there are a few things I can’t watch.”

“I can’t watch the Rocky Horror dancing scene, and I can’t watch the kissing scenes.”

Despite feeling awkward about those moments, Watson has often spoken about how deeply she values the message of the film and what it represents. In her view, it’s not just a movie about teenage struggles — it’s a story about empathy, kindness, and self-acceptance.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she shared: “I’m just so proud to have been a part of it, and I honestly think that the world would be a better place if there were more people like [the film’s protagonist] Charlie.”

“If I make one person feel a little bit less alone for a second, then it was all worth it — all worth it — for sure.”

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is now streaming on Netflix.
