Emma Watson denies rumours that she is dating Johnny Borrell

Washington, Feb 16 : English actress Emma Watson has slammed reports that she is dating rocker Johnny Borrell.

The rumours started when the 17-year-old Harry Potter star and the British rocker posed for photographers outside the Vanity Fair and Burberry Portraits party at the National Gallery in London on Feb 11.

The buzz escalated after the two were later spotted sharing a cab to another fashion party thrown by designers PPQ.

However, Watson is shocked by the assumptions, and jokes she should generate new romance rumours by getting photographed with other famous men - specifically Orlando Bloom.

"I met Johnny Borrell who is modelling for Burberry at the moment and went on to PPQ in the same cab," Contactmusic quoted her, as stating on her official website's blog.

"I'd never met him before so that was great as I'm a big Razorlight fan. But goodness, I am really going to have to watch who I stand next to from now on!"

"Maybe I should stand next to Orlando Bloom and then we can be said to be dating," she added.
