From best friends to lovers? Emma Watson's rumored new boyfriend is reportedly one of his closest friends that she met during her "Harry Potter" days!
Unfortunately for the Hermione-Ron and Hermione-Harry shippers, it isn't Rupert Grint or Daniel Radcliffe. It's not even Tom Felton, whom she previously admitted that she had a crush on in the past.
According to a recent report, the "Beauty And The Beast" star is supposed dating a guy that actually worked behind the camera for "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire."
Roberto Aguirre revealed that he first met the 25-year-old actress as an intern on the Warner Brothers sequel. They "had a chance encounter that led to [them] 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," he reportedly said in a 2012 Just Jared interview.
She even supported Aguirre when he ventured into acting, accompanying him during the premiere for "Struck By Lightning." She appeared beside him on the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year as well.
However, it wasn't until they were spotted grabbing lunch in Los Feliz, California together that people started to suspect their real status.
But who is Emma Watson's rumored boyfriend?
According to The Inquisitr, Aguirre was born in Los Angeles to Mexican parents but was raised in Switzerland. He later went to New York to study in the prestigious New York University Tisch School for the Arts.
After interning in the fourth "Harry Potter" instalment, he went on to become an actor-slash-producer. He starred with "Glee" star Chris Colfer in "Struck By Lightning" in 2012. He also got to act alongside the late Robin Williams in his last film in 2014, "Boulevard."
On the other hand, Emma Watson's last boyfriend was Oxford rugby player, Matt Janney. She was also linked to Prince Harry earlier this year before promptly denying it on social media.
Could Roberto Aguirre be her new beau or could they still be firmly in the friend zone?
