The actor admitted that there were no hard feelings between them. However, he has clarified that in a Twitter statement. He wrote, “Emma Watson did not ‘storm off the set’ and it’s sh***y that the perception is that she did.” The actor further explained the incident as he shared that the scene wasn’t what was orginally scripted.

The actor further explained that the narrative that she was in some way “uncool or unprofessional” is not true. He admitted how he should have communicated the instance better. However, the actor said he did not do that because of which she was put in an uncomfortable situation.
