Emma Watson and Sophie Trudeau have formed one of the most inspirational friendships. So much so, that Emma welcomed her to Instagram on Wednesday with a heartfelt message along with a photo from her recent visit to Canada in September.
"Definitely a highlight of my year was meeting this person. Who picks you up on a Vespa before your meeting to personally show you why she loves her city and her country? It was one of the most free and inspiring mornings I have had all year- not what I expected from someone who is as busy as she must be," the 26-year-old actress captioned the photo of her and Sophie riding around Ottawa.

I'm looking forward to being abel to see your adventures and especially witness the work you do on behalf of women and girls. P.s she did the driving and we both wore helmets!"

Why everyone is talking about Canada's Prime Minister
Sophie's husband also had some adoring words for the actress. Prime Minister Trudeau took some time away from Prince William and Kate Middleton's visit to meet with Emma to discuss gender equality and women's rights. “It’s great to be able to welcome Emma Watson to Parliament to talk about the important advocacy work she’s been doing for a number of years now,” he said. “The He For She campaign has had an extraordinary impact around the world making men champions of women’s issues that are everyone’s issues. Her voice is extremely important in making people realize how important this is.”
