The former "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson is one of the most talked about stars in the franchise and has been constantly in the limelight even after the movie series has ended. However, this makes her an easy target for paparazzi who was recently caught spending time with her new beau Matthew Janney. The pair was walking down the streets of London when they both leaned in for a kiss that was caught on camera.

They were reportedly out on a leisurely walk before heading out for lunch. Watson and Janney have only been dating for six months but they were not shy in expressing their love even in public view. The couple has been spotted in several places besides London and they seem to be spending lots of their free time together.

Her boyfriend towered over her with his 6'1 height but this didn't stop them from sharing a quick kiss. They pair then went to The Place at Regents Park for lunch, the Daily Mail reports. Emma was wearing a block bare-back top paired with polka dots trousers with black flat sandals. She topped her look with black sunglasses and had her hair in a bun. Janney, on the other hand, also had a casual look with blue denim button up shirt and dark blue shorts. See photos.

According to a report from the Mirror, Janney is considered as "Oxford's most eligible bachelor," nothing less for the beautiful "Noah" star. He was even hailed as the star player in the match between their rival Cambridge University.

Although two years her junior, the hunky University rugby player is already fluent in various languages and will come back to Oriel College to finish his chosen degree. He is currently studying medical and modern languages but has already travelled in different countries including Argentina and Russia.

Emma Watson is now busy with her new film "Regression" that is set to be released in 2015. She is starring alongside Ethan Hawke, Aaron Ashmore and Devon Bostick in this American-Spanish thriller. Although the rumoured movie adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" was reportedly cancelled, there may be new movie projects in the horizon as she is now free from school engagements after graduating this year in Brown University.
