Actress Emma Watson fears her fame has crippled her love life because she is wrongly romantically linked to every man she is photographed with.

The Harry Potter star is currently rumoured to be involved with American student Will Adamovicz, who she reportedly met while studying at Oxford University, but she admits her high profile often puts off potential suitors.

She tells Glamour magazine, "It's difficult on my dating life because anyone I get photographed with is automatically my boyfriend. So it just makes it look like I've had like, 6,000 boyfriends."

However, the actress insists she doesn't let a fear of being photographed stop her going out, adding, "What am I going to say? 'No, I am not going to go because I don't want to be photographed?'"
