You may think of Emma Watson as an English actor — frankly, she was even named one of the best British actors around by Heart, along with Kate Winslet, Colin Firth, and fellow "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe. However, it turns out that Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was actually born on April 15, 1990, in Paris and lived in France until she was five years old, according to IMDb. Granted, she was born to British parents, which is why when they split up, her mother, Jacqueline Luesby, returned to the U.K. with her daughter.
While Watson may have originally left France behind as a child, she apparently "always feels at home whenever she returns to" Paris, telling Eurostar's Metropolitan Magazine (via Hollywood.com), "I always get this wave of nostalgia that washes over me whenever I arrive at the Gare du Nord (train station). I feel like I'm in sync here with the culture, the art, the music. And what I wouldn't do for a warm baguette!"
Granted, while the Mirror claimed that Watson "speaks fluent French," she still says she has some work to do in that area. At the time, Watson was still struggling with the language somewhat. She admitted to Metropolitan Magazine in 2017, "I always make the same New Year's resolution: to speak French fluently as soon as possible." While Watson may not be completely fluent, she definitely puts what French she knows to good use when she gets the chance.
