Emma Watson struck by ‘full circle’ moment
Online, Roberto is indeed the one sighted with the “Beauty and the Beast” movie actress.
Filming wrapped for the hotly-anticipated remake back on August 21st this year, but amid the cast celebrations the date had extra significance for 25 year old Watson, as she realised that she had been cast as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone all those years before.
While Emma starred as Hermione Granger in the fourth movie in the hit franchise, Roberto explained to JustJaredJr.com back in 2012 that he was working behind the scenes. The two kept close to one another as they walked down the street following their meal, as Watson clutched a to-go bag in her arm.
“We never really lost touch after that and now she’s one of my best friends”, he told Just Jared.
“It’s so insane. It’s more than half of my life”.
Roberto, an actor and director, is originally from Mexico, grew up mostly in Switzerland, and lived in Los Angeles.
This was actually her thought process behind her upcoming thriller film “Regression”, which also stars Ethan Hawke.
Emma has previously said of her “horrendous” break up with rugby player Matt Janney: “I felt really uncomfortable, even before my relationship ended, I went on a silent retreat, because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself”.
However, despite the demise of this relationship, Watson was still positive about her past experiences, insisting, “The boyfriends or partners I’ve had have generally made me feel really cherished”.
“I’m a massive, massive, massive yoga fan and person, and I’ve been trying to, for a couple of years now, finish my yoga certification so that I can teach, which is very exciting”, Watson said on Monday (October 5).
