Actors Go ‘Potty’ Over The Pressure Of A Kiss

Harry Potter stars, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, have spoken about the pressures they felt when filming a kiss for the new Potter films.

The kiss will feature in one of the final two Potter films, which are based on the seventh and final book in the series.

Grint and Watson, who play characters Ron and Hermione in the films, spoke to NEW YORK (Reuters) about the tensions of the on screen embrace:

“Rupert and I were quite nervous that it might look ingenuous as we were so desperate to get it over with.

“Rupert and I felt the pressure of this kiss, there’s so much interest” said 19-year-old Watson.

She added: “This is 10 years worth of tension and hormones and chemistry and everything in one moment. We had to ace it. Kissing is awkward, kissing is always awkward.”

You would think most men would jump at the opportunity to kiss the beautiful Watson but Grint certainly didn’t seem to enjoy the moment:

“It’s not something we were really looking forward to. It was quite a strange thing to have to think about doing” Said Grint, 20.

The next film in the Harry Potter series, ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,’ will be out in the UK on 15th July 2009.
