Francis Boulle claimed he didn't want to be known as Emma Watson's boyfriend.

Of all the things to break up with someone for, being highly successful isn't usually one of them.

But that's the case for Francis Boulle, who called it off with "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson because he reportedly "didn't want to be the boyfriend of some child actress."

Boulle, 22, an actor himself who was a reality star on British TV's "Made in Chelsea," claims he wants to be known on account of his own accomplishments.

He told Heat magazine this week, "We had a bit of a thing a while back, but I have always been an ambitious person and I want to achieve my own notoriety for what I've done."

Though the pair no longer has any connections, Boulle claims there's no bad blood between him and Watson, 21.

"We do share a lot of mutual friends and our paths cross from time to time. I actually really like Emma," says Boulle. "She's a really cool person. She's a very different person to who she is in the media. That's what I liked about her she's very interesting."

The "Made in Chelsea" series began its second season this September and follows the lives of a group of friends in London.
