EmmaWatson was stopped by airport officials during a visit to New York when they
mistook her for an unaccompanied minor.
The
incident happened when Watson flew into New York’s John F. Kennedy
International Airport over the Christmas holiday, the New York Daily News
reported. There agents at passport control stopped her, thinking she was a
child traveling by herself.
Most
airports consider unaccompanied minors anyone 12 and under, though teens under
age 18 can sometimes use unaccompanied minor service, The Huffing ton Post
noted. It wasn’t clear how old the officials at JFK Airport thought Emma Watson
was.
It
appears that Emma Watson is still coping with the attention that mega-fame has
brought her. The Harry Potter star talked to Glamor magazine earlier this fall
about the sudden attention she’s seen, which included being caught kissing a
male companion at the Rochella music festival.
“It
was a huge crowd, and I thought there was no way anyone could get pictures of
me, but somehow they found me,” Emma Watson said.
“It’s
difficult on my dating life, because anyone I get photographed with is
automatically my boyfriend. So it just makes it look as if I’ve had, like,
6,000 boyfriends!”
Emma
Watson's tweet about being stopped prompted more than 18,000 responses, with
many fans consoling her for the unfortunate incident. Others pointed out that
when she’s 40 she’ll enjoy being mistaken for a younger age.
