Johnny Simmons recently popped up on our radar when rumors surfaced that he’s dating his Perks of Being a Wallflower castmate Emma Watson. The two have denied their union, but we still have our suspicious that romance is blooming (like a flower… on the wall. Get it?). Anyway, here are five things to know about the 24-year-old actor:

1. He’s a good ‘ole Southern boy. Johnny was born in Montgomery, Alabama and raised in Dallas, Texas.

2. His first major role was the character Dylan Baxter in Evan Almighty, where he starred opposite Steve Carell and Lauren Graham. Not a bad first gig, we suppose.

3. Since then, he’s appeared in flicks like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Jennifer’s Body. We distinctly remember having a crush on his character in JB, the cute, nerdy boyfriend of Amanda Seyfried‘s character.

4. He starred in this video portrait from hotshot photog Tyler Shields. Check it out:

5. He was offered his Scott Pilgrim role via Facebook message form director Edgar Wright. Here’s how it went down:

“Uh huh. I read it about a year and a half ago, or two years or so. I was just leaving to New York to go film a movie called The Greatest, and I go on in at the last minute, and it’s like there’s no way in hell that I’m going to get this, like, I’ll just—but I just went in on a whim, and like a year and a half later, or maybe just like a year, Edgar—somebody was saying they were Edgar Wright], you know, on Facebook, and I was like yeah, whatever. And we had been waiting for feedback, you know, nothing had come of this. And for a while it was on hold or something. And I was focused on The Greatest and Jennifer’s Body, and then I kept asking about this film in particular. And uh, he friend requested me and I was like yeah, it’s Edgar, but it’s probably not. And we started, uh, messaging back and forth through the inbox and he sent me, like a month had gone by when we were just talking, and he said, I said well, you’re in LA, if you want to meet up for coffee or whatever. And he was also friends with Jason Reitman, who doesn’t have his real name set up, so I figured it could have been the real Edgar. He said yeah, let’s meet up for coffee. I’d also like to offer you the role of Young Neil.”

“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson has been spotted kissing Hollywood hunk Johnny Simmons.

Emma Watson, the British actress who plays Hermione Granger in the recently completed “Harry Potter” movie franchise, looks very much loved up with Johnny Simmons. He is her co-star in her upcoming movie “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.”

Watson is certainly no wallflower! The pair were snapped kissing passionately, out in public in Santa Monica over the weekend.

Wearing a patchwork maxi shirt and figure hugging black camisole under a casual summer cardigan, Watson got up close and personal with the actor. Then the two of them lunched together. Their tender kiss was shared right outside the restaurant.

Who started the kiss? Emma Watson did! Onlookers report that she reached up her face to kiss Johnny Simmons and he gazed at her in adoration, before pulling her in to a tender embrace, their hands on each others’ waists.

Emma Watson and Johnny Simmons were first identified as a couple in May, when they were seen walking through a park in Pittsburgh together. At the time they strongly denied that they were in a relationship together. Watson’s agent even dismissed speculation as “complete fiction.”

But either they were lying, or things have moved on a lot since May, because Emma and Johnny looked very much a couple in Santa Monica this weekend.

Simmons, who co-starred with Megan Fox in the 2009 flick “Jennifer’s Body,” is Watson’s first boyfriend since she split with “One Night Only” singer George Craig last year.

You will have to wait until next year to see Emma Watson and Johnny Simmons on screen together in “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” The movie, based on the novel by Stephen Chbosky, about freshman Charlie’s introduction to sex and drugs, is scheduled for release in 2012.

But for now, we have the kiss!
