Emma Watson's Elaborate Tactics to Avoid Paparazzi with Jay Shetty
In a scene reminiscent of her Harry Potter days, actress Emma Watson might have wished for an invisibility cloak during a recent dinner outing in Los Angeles. The star, known for her role as Hermione Granger, appeared to go to extreme lengths to avoid being photographed with Jay Shetty, a former monk turned lifestyle guru, after they enjoyed a meal together last week.
Stealthy Exits and Car Swaps
According to an eagle-eyed onlooker, Watson and Shetty employed clever tactics to bamboozle photographers waiting outside the trendy Hollywood restaurant. The pair reportedly used different exits upon leaving the expensive venue, and even swapped cars in an effort to evade the paparazzi. This elaborate manoeuvre suggests a deliberate attempt to keep their meeting out of the public eye.
Adding to the intrigue, Jay Shetty was seen looking after Emma's dog, Sofia, displaying a gesture of chivalry. However, the question remains: why all the smoke and mirrors? It appears that Watson, 35, who is currently a PhD student at Oxford University, has developed a close friendship with the celebrity life coach. Shetty, author of Think Like A Monk, boasts an impressive 18.5 million Instagram followers where he shares self-help advice.
A Growing Friendship
This is not the first time Watson and Shetty have been spotted together. Sources indicate they were seen arriving at Beyoncé and Jay Z's Oscar party earlier this year. Furthermore, in September, Emma appeared as a guest on Jay's popular podcast, On Purpose With Jay Shetty, where the pair discussed her love-life in a candid conversation.
Jay Shetty has been married to influencer Radhi Devlukia since 2016, who hosts a podcast called A Really Good Cry. Meanwhile, Emma Watson was recently photographed kissing Mexican billionaire Gonzalo Hevia Bailleres in March at his hometown airport, adding another layer to her personal life narrative.
