Emma Watson just stepped out with her new boyfriend Brandon Green on the streets of Venice, and fans can’t help but wonder why he looks so familiar! The stylish Harry Potter alum, 32, was spotted with her new beau last week on an Italian getaway, and she donned a stunning, light blue floral sundress and black sandals. Green, 29, (who is the son of controversial business mogul Sir Philip), went for a more casual look as he was seen holding hands with Watson while wearing a bright pink t-shirt and black pants.

In the coastal European city, the couple strolled through the Fondazione Prada before riding in a taxi boat, and were all smiles around each other while embracing in PDA. According to anonymous sources who reportedly spoke to The Daily Mail, Green does not share the same career goals as his father, as the young businessman instead is interested in the environment and activism, quite like Watson. A source also allegedly told the outlet that Green became “invested in saving the planet after his father’s Arcadia Group empire – which included Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Burton – crumbled.”

On Twitter, as fans began retweeting and posting these paparazzi-snapped pics of the couple, many noticed that Green shares a “striking resemblance,” as one wrote, to Watson’s ex, Leo Robinton, a fellow businessman. Watson dated Robinton, (who also has the same long brown hair color and style as Green) from August 2019 until their break-up two years ago.

“Omg he looks like her ex,” one fan wrote amid the pics of Watson and Green while another joked that the Perks of Being a Wallflower star “clearly has a type.” Other than working in the worlds of business and sharing hair long enough to tie it up into a man bun, it doesn’t seem that the two have anything else in common (apart from liking Watson of course, and who wouldn’t?) While we aren’t sure exactly how long Watson and Green have been seeing each other, The Daily Mail notes that the duo were first photographed together in September of 2021 when exiting from a helicopter in Battersea, London.
