Emma Watson left shaken after fan run-in

Emma Watson was left shaken after an overzealous fan broke through security on the set of her new film "Noah" in a bid to hand her a letter, according to a U.K. report.

The British actress is currently working on the biblical epic with Russell Crowe in Long Island, New York, and was filming in a wooded area when she spotted the man.

Security guards and stunt artists working on the film then chased the intruder and restrained him until police arrived.

A source tells Britain's The Sun, "The man managed to slip on to the set with some visitors and then approached her... He took off into the woods and was chased by security and a couple of the tough stunt guys who also happen to be martial arts fighters. "They caught up with him in the woods. Police were called and he was removed by security."

The publication reports the man was not arrested but was handed a warning about trespassing.

Point is, whether an actor, actress, or you; how would you like it if someone were to show up at your job, sneak in just to give you a letter? I would call that a little freaky. So before insulting her because she is an actress, put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself how you would react. then I wouldn't have to read all of this stupidity.

Not like they have anything worth while to write about in the first place.

The reason there's security in the first place is from events like the fan that 'just walked up to' John Lennon.  The word 'fan' comes from the root 'fanatic', and fans who obsess are considered viably dangerous.   Just the fact of the letter means he wanted more than an autograph, it probably professed his emotions to her.  Yes, it's serious.

i know it seems like an over reaction over a letter, but you never know. The fear with envelopes is anthrax and stalkers often kill the subject of their affection. Not saying he was a stalker or that there was anthrax, just that that is the reason they take these things so seriously

Get a grip people.  She was at work, she should not have to worry about being bothered or possably attacked while she is at her job any more than someone who works in an office or factory or any other place of employment.  Face it there are bad people in the world.  This guy may have been ok, but what if it was your daughter in her place?
