A man has been arrested after stalking Emma Watson as she studies at the University of Oxford.
Chad Michael Busto, an American man, flew over to the UK with only a sleeping bag, £800, and was sleeping in an Oxford church. He said he was visiting the English department to “gain information” about the Harry Potter actress.
The police were called after locals heard him asking questions about her.
He told The Sun: “I visited the English department and spoke to people. I went to the main admissions centre trying to gain information. I was trying to connect with Emma Watson. However, the claim was made about me because I was asking around. But it was not made by Emma herself.
He added: “I was arrested in a square close to a Starbucks. I would have tried to talk to her about the big case that I have won. They are illegally detaining me and I have no idea when I’ll be allowed to leave. Police have my possessions. I’m on the run, there’s a danger to my life.”
Police confirmed an American man, age 44, was arrested and held on suspicion of stalking and released under investigation. He is currently being held at Colnbrook Immigration Centre near Heathrow.
When asked what he would have done if he met Emma, he said: “I would have tried to talk to her about the big case that I have won.” The man claims to have won a 2021 Federal case declaring the US justice system illegal.
But this is not the first time the man has been arrested over Emma Watson. Last September, he was arrested for allegedly barging into a New York fashion show dressing room and shouting he wanted to marry Emma. But he said the “statements were taken out of context.” “I was shouting something and, yes, it was to get her attention. It kind of worked in the way I wanted,” he added.

Emma Watson is currently studying for a part-time Master’s degree in creative writing at Oxford. She was pictured at Oxford’s Matriculation ceremony (where students officially enrol at the university) and other students on Emma’s course say she attends a handful of lectures, alongside her security team, and does the rest online. The rest of her student life is kept fairly private.
She was however recently confirmed to be dating a fellow Oxford student. Kieran Brown is a fellow student at Oxford, currently studying for a PhD in 19th-century literature and economics. They went public a few weeks ago after being pictured kissing in Oxford. A source told The Sun: “Emma is studying creative writing and his thesis is all about literary theory — so they have a lot to talk about. She looks so loved up with Kieran.”

Emma Watson, who shot to international fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise, has had a specific reaction to her character’s appearance, upon looking back at her first film. Sharing a surprisingly candid regret about her early film appearance, Watson noted her opinion on her hair.

While fans of the billion-dollar franchise often look back fondly at the Harry Potter films, Emma Watson seemingly had a hint of regret with her hair. Finding it bushy and almost unkempt during the initial installments, Watson opened up about her disappointment over the element, which was surprisingly book-accurate.
Emma Watson Has One Regret About Her Initial Harry Potter Appearance
Appearing in eight Harry Potter films as Hermione Granger, and turning into a popular icon, Emma Watson sat for an interview with Vogue Italia, wherein she reflected on her experience from the sets of the billion-dollar franchise. Reminiscing about the time when she brought JK Rowling’s Hermione to life, Watson expressed her deep-rooted affection for her character.
However, despite appreciating the role that propelled her to success, and considering Hermione Granger as an icon, Emma Watson expressed one particular regret about her character. Expressing extreme distaste for her character’s hairdo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Watson confessed to failing to get over her character’s tangled mess of hair.

When I see the images of the first Harry Potter, I immediately think of how ugly my hair was.
Well, although Emma Watson claimed to be self-conscious about her initial hairstyle, her remarks raised eyebrows, given that Hermione’s bushy hair was a defining characteristic, accurately adapted from J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series.
Despite Emma Watson’s Regret, Hermione’s Hair was Simply Book Accurate
Hermione Granger’s hairstyle was, in fact, designed to be faithful to the description of the character in the books. In her seven-part novels, JK Rowling specifically described Hermione’s hair as “bushy” and “unruly,” which Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone seemingly replicated to Emma Watson’s dismay.
Despite Emma Watson’s regret over her hairdo, the decision to faithfully represent Hermione’s hair was a clear nod to JK Rowling’s vision for the character. However, as the series progressed, changes were made to Hermione’s look, with the character’s hair becoming more polished in later films.

In the end, Emma Watson’s regret is a small part of a much larger and incredibly successful career. With or without Hermione’s book-accurate bushy hair, the Harry Potter films became a success and remained a cornerstone of Watson’s acting journey. While she might look back on her hair with mixed feelings, the impact of her performance left an indelible mark on fans around the world.
