Emma Watson dating a 16-year-old rugby player?

17-year-old Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is reportedly dating a 16-year-old up-and-coming rugby player.

Watson was photographed enjoying a romantic break on the French Riviera with 16-year-old rugby player Tom Ducker.

And the staff at their hotel described the young couple as "delightful guests".

During their French break, the pair spent their time perusing Nice's swanky art shops, and Watson spotted a $30,000 painting, reading "Je suis incognito ici, faites le savoir" (I'm incognito here, tell everybody), which she offered to buy in cash on-the-spot.

Owner Ali Abdelhafidh says, "Emma fell in love with it and offered to buy it there and then. The words on the piece seemed to sum up her evening. But sadly it just wasn't for sale, so she posed for a photo next to the picture instead." Despite the reports, Ducker's parents have laughed off rumors of any romance between the pair, insisting they're "just good friends"

Tom's father said: "They are just friends - don't read anything more into it than that. My wife and I have met Emma once or twice. She is a lovely young lady."
