Julia Roberts is Emma Watson's hero

'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson considers Hollywood superstar Julia Roberts her "hero" and has been in awe of the Academy winner since childhood.
The 19-year-old who shot to fame at the age of 12 playing the young witch Hermione Granger in the superhit fantasy series wanted to grow up to be like the 'Pretty Woman' actress, reported Mirror online.
"When I was little, I wanted to be a fairy after being a princess.Then I realised it was impossible so I decided to be an actress. My hero is Julia Roberts. As a child I always wanted to be like her. She has a magnetic personality and smile," said the actress.
Watson who has been dating 26-year-old banker, Jay Barrymore, for the past one year also said that guys are easily intimidated by her.
"I have a boyfriend now, but I've been linked to so many guys I sound like a wanton woman. It's really not easy. I suppose guys are either intimidated by me and have their defences up," said the actress who is going to attend university in the US later this year.
