It's been a few months since Emma Watson broke up with boyfriend Matt Janney. Is it finally time to turn her attention to other men?
Watson previously shared to Vogue that she had to go through a silent retreat towards the end of her relationship with the Oxford rugby player.
She later busied herself with filming, campaigning for gender equality and impressing dignitaries at the UN.
With her packed schedule, it looks like she doesn't have time to meet new guys that could sweep her off her feet. According to Mirror, however, that might not be the case anymore. Could she be getting cosy with a former "Harry Potter" intern?
The "Beauty And The Beast" star was spotted hanging out with Roberto Aguirre in Los Angeles, sparking dating rumors for the pair. The rumored couple were in casual clothes and "looked pretty cute together" as they grabbed lunch at Los Feliz last week.
The Inquisitr, on the other hand, noted that he might not be Emma Watson's boyfriend. The pair could just be really close friends, with the site quoting Aguirre's 2012 Just Jared interview about how he met Watson on the set of "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire" and how she became "one of [his] best friends."
"I was doing an internship in the special effects department at the time," he told the site.
"And one day we had a chance encounter that led to us spending half a day together exchanging stories and dance moves. We never really lost touch after that and now she's one of my best friends."
Now, the 25-year-old has turned into an actor-slash-producer. His past film projects include "Sand Sharks" and "Struck by Lightning." He also starred in "Boulevard" which premiered in the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year.
Rumors that he was Emma Watson's new boyfriend became even more pronounced because he appeared on the festival's red carpet with Watson by his side. She also accompanied him at the "Struck By Lightning" premiere in 2012.
Is it time for the British star to find love once again? After all, her career - both in film and philanthropy - has already taken off and it doesn't look like it'll be coming down anytime soon.
