Despite Emma Watson’s “horrible” breakup a few months back with rugby star Matt Janney the “Harry Potter” star seems to have found a new love interest. Roberto Aguirre is his name, and although they haven’t quite confirmed the relationship, the two have been spotted around Los Angeles looking pretty close. Aguirre spoke about their close friendship to JustJared.com back in 2012: “I was doing an internship in the special effects department at the time, and one day we had a chance encounter that lead to us spending half a day together exchanging stories and dance moves. We never really lost touch after that and now she's one of my best friends.” So just in case they take it to the next level in the future (wink, wink), here are 8 things to know about Roberto:

1. He is 27 years old and remains very close to his family. We know that because he is constantly tweeting sweet things about his mom, dad and little sister.

2. He’s multicultural! Roberto says he was born in Mexico, grew up in Switzerland and has lived in L.A. for a while, so basically he says he can “fit in anywhere.”

3. He met Emma while doing a special effects internship on the set of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”

4. He’s also worked as a producer and told JustJared.com (back in 2012 as well) that he loved being able to see the “ins and outs of the puzzle.” “There are so many elements involved in every aspect of a film's development that I don't think the average person is aware of, which is I guess why the whole process is referred to as movie magic,” Aguirre explained.

5. Roberto went from working behind the camera to being an actor and starred opposite Robin Williams in his last film, “Boulevard.”

6. Aguirre is hoping to stick to acting and build a successful career. He recently told Huffington Post he hopes his role in “Boulevard” opens many doors for him.

7. He has a way with words. Aguirre tweeted at Watson on her last birthday saying, “Happy Bday to one of the most amazing, kindest, and beautiful people I know. You mean the world to me.”

8. He’s a huge Disney fan!
