She is set to appear in the upcoming horror-comedy 'Forbidden Fruits,' a move that marks a major milestone in her career.
Emma Chamberlain on First Acting Debut
While chatting about her time on set, Emma admitted that the experience was even better than she expected. She explained to Jimmy that while her entire career has been built on being herself and sharing her own personal stories, she has no plans to stop that side of her life. However, she found acting in a movie to be a refreshing change of pace.

Emma Chamberlain described the process as both interesting and energising, noting that it felt similar to the storytelling she does in her vlogs and podcasts but with a helpful sense of distance.
Emma confessed that she enjoyed playing a character much more than she originally thought she would. In fact, she said that neither she nor anyone else expected her to love the process as much as she did. She also shared some details about her character, a girl named Pickle, calling the part the perfect size for her first time out.
She was honest about not wanting to jump straight into a lead role because the pressure would have been overwhelming. Instead, Emma Chamberlain preferred to start small and work her way up to bigger projects. To her, this role was the ideal introduction to the acting world, describing the entire experience as pure magic.
