According to the British outlet The Sun on 11 July (local time), Emma Watson was captured by exceeding the speed limit on Banbury Road in Oxford, in the United Kingdom, on July 31, 2024
The sun also reported that Watson should appear in court on July 16, where he could try to reduce the severity of the accusations by explaining any special circumstances that surround the accident.
What made the news most controversial is Watson’s previous involvement in environmental causes. The actress was a prominent figure at the Cop26 and had even written a book on sustainability. Critics are underlining the irony of the fact that it is surprised in a £ 30,000 audi, a car that does not scream exactly eco-Consciousness.
It wasn’t the first time that Watson’s Audi put it in trouble. In February 2024, his car was seized for illegal parking outside a Pub in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Born in 1990, Watson became famous as a child actress in Harry Potter franchise, playing Hermione from 2001 to 2011. Since then he has built an impressive filmography with roles in The bling ring, This is the end, Noah, Beauty and the beast AND Little women.
In addition to the acting, Watson is also known for his intellect and activism, being graduated from Brown University, one of the best schools of the Ivy League in the United States, his traffic violations, however, presents a clear contrast with his image of “model student” and has aroused discussions on public figures who balance the progress of personal actions.
