Emma Watson Dating Aussie Student

British actress Emma Watson is reportedly dating an Australian student.

The 18-year-old, best known for her portrayal of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is said to have “struck up a relationship” with 19-year-old West Australian Angus Willoughby while studying at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Willoughby, the son of the late Olympic rower Tim Willoughby, is planning on taking his famous girlfriend on a tour of his home state this summer, including the beaches of Perth and the Margaret River wineries in the south-west.

Watson was last rumoured to be dating Razorlight star Johnny Borell. [Source]

Former Girlfriend Says, “Priestley Was My Soul Mate”

The former girlfriend of late Australian actor Mark Priestley has come out of seclusion to release a statement, describing the All Saints star as her “soul mate”.

Actress and playwright Kate Mulvany, who had broken up with the 32-year-old a few weeks earlier, has been in seclusion since Priestley’s body was found on a building ledge above Market Street in Sydney’s CBD at lunchtime on Wednesday.

A deeply upset Mulvany said:

“Mark was my partner, my best friend, my soulmate and brought great joy to all who knew him.

“Thank you to everyone for your kind words. I request that you let us grieve for him and please remember him with love.”

Mulvany’s statement comes as filming resumes on All Saints, the show in which Priestley played the much-loved nurse Dan Goldman. His character married on-screen love Erica Templeton (Jolene Anderson) only a day before he jumped to his death from the 23rd floor of the Swissotel hotel.

Priestley’s parents, based in Perth, are still struggling to come to terms with their son’s shock death, but acknowledged the support he was given during his fight with depression.

“We are greatly strengthened and helped in this very difficult time by the expressions of sympathy and the kind comments about Mark’s life and career,” they said in a joint statement.

The funeral will be held in Western Australia next Thursday.
