Emma Watson Not the Target of Kidnapping Plot

Emma Watson is safe and sound. On Sunday The Sun reported that hat sometime last week, two studio workers had discussed plans to abduct the 25-year-old actress from the set of Walt Disney Pictures' live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. According to the British newspaper, a taxi driver overheard discussions between the employees and reported the conversation to his management, who in turn alerted studio staff. "There was concern about her safety," a source told The Sun. However, it appears Watson was never in real danger. "The story was looked into by production and found to be unsubstantiated and untrue," a spokesperson told Vogue U.K. in a statement Monday.
