I’ve never heard of this British actor/ “entrepreneur”/ reality star Francis Boulle, but he gave some fabulously bitchy comments about his supposed ex girlfriend, Emma Watson, to Heat Magazine. Just to be clear, these comments make this douchey guy look bad, not Emma at all. (Although if she did actually date this guy it makes me seriously question her taste in men.) I did google “Francis Boulle Emma Watson” and it’s almost impossible to find any evidence that these two were dating. All the top results are for this story where Francis trashes Emma, and the only other tidbit I could find was this story where she was photographed in 2008 talking to Boulle at a party – along with two other guys. She later went out with a different guy she was seen with at that party and started dating some other rich guy a couple months later. So if she had anything going with Boulle beyond some flirtation at a party, there’s not much evidence of it and it doesn’t seem to be serious. According to Boulle he dumped Emma though, and it was because he didn’t want to be known just for being her boyfriend. As if he was ever known as that.
Emma Watson is probably glad she’s not dating actor Frances Boulle anymore after his thoughtless comments about their relationship.
Harry Potter star Emma Watson is at the top of everyone’s hot list right now — she’s in-demand as an actress and model, and we’re pretty sure every twenty-something guy out there wants to date her. Well, every guy except her ex-boyfriend.
“We had a bit of a thing a while back, but I have always been an ambitious person and I want to achieve my own notoriety for what I’ve done,” Made in Chelsea actor Francis Boulle told Heat magazine in their new issue. “That’s why I chose not to pursue it any longer, because I didn’t want to be the boyfriend of some child actress.”
Watson’s hardly “just a child actress.” Perhaps Boulle just came down with a case of the Foot-in-Mouth Disease going around Hollywood these days. However, he does have kind words for his one-time gal pal.
“We do share a lot of mutual friends and our paths cross from time to time. I actually really like Emma. She’s a really cool person,” he said. “She’s a very different person to who she is in the media. That’s what I liked about her — she’s very interesting.”
Watson is now dating actor Johnny Simmons – they met on the set of their new film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower — and she reportedly asked him to move in with her while she studies at Oxford University this year.

All the press for this guy’s “Made in Chelsea” reality show mentioned that he was “linked to Emma Watson.” He probably just called her a bunch of times and got shot down. I love how he calls her “some child actress” and then tries to backtrack by claiming she’s a “really cool person” and “interesting.” Emma really dodged a bullet with this one. Is he like the smarmy British version of The Situation? Or is a Spencer Pratt comparison more apt?
Emma is shown at the GQ Men of the Year Awards on 9/7/11. Francis is shown in July and August of this year. Credit: WENN.com
