It's a case of lost in translation. British import Emma Watson may have been in the US for quite some time but has not been fully assimilated in the American culture. The charming Brit has never even heard of the Italian restaurant chain, "The Olive Garden."

"The Olive Garden. I was very confused about the Olive Garden," Watson admitted during "MTV First: The Perks of Being a Wallflower." "I did not know. I had no idea if it was a restaurant or what."

Watson's cast mates, Ezra Miller and Logan Lerman, took pleasure in the comment and playfully teased her about her naivete.

"It was like a secret garden, full of olives!" said.

"It's the Olive Garden," Lerman quipped.

"Yeah, you must seek it, you must go to the center of the world," Miller added. "Oils of olives and all the olives we know, they come from there."

"All right, I'm going to stop you right there," Watson jumped in. "We very much had to ask these guys [Miller and Lerman], and they thought it was hilarious, because I'm so naive about these things. They still haven't told me," she joked, adding, "These guys had had their own personal experiences, they [grew up here], and I arrived in my panicky way, kind of stressed out, and these guys had to tell me, 'It's OK, Emma, it's going to be fine.' "

Watson is currently dating Will Adamowicz, the pair met at oxford and has since been photographed looking amorous in London and the Streets of NYC. She was previously romantically linked to her "The Perk of Being a Wallflower" co-star, Johnny Simmons.

When Watson is having boy trouble she tends to pick the brains of her "Harry Potter" co-stars, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. "I'll occasionally go and chat to Dan and Rupert and say, 'What is going on here? I don't understand,'" she revealed at a press conference in London.

She was quite smitten with fellow "Harry Potter" alum, Tom Felton (Draco Malfloy). "For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush," she said. "He totally knows. We talked about it. We still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that's cool."
