The actress Emma Watson has confessed she was so desperate to complete her kissing scene with her Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint that she "pounced" on him.
The 19-year-old who plays Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of JK Rowling's novels, has worked with Grint, who plays Ron Weasely, since she was 11.
In the final film, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, the two characters share a kiss.
Watson admits on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross that she hated kissing Grint because there was so much public scrutiny in the scene, adding: "I pounced on him, I was so desperate to get it over with."
The young actress also confesses she is scared of Harry Potter fans and was surprised to get the part of Hermione.
She said: "By the time I got to audition, I was in pieces, I didn't know I had the part."
Watson, who has recently been confirmed as the new face of Burberry label, insists starting acting at such a young age did not mean missing out on her childhood.
She said: "I never felt like I was missing out... we were able to be kids because we were together, whatever weird thing we were doing."
In an interview with FMH magazine this week, Grint refused to say whether he or co-star Daniel Radcliffe had the "worst crush" on Watson.
"Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, she's quite popular with the cast," he said. "As for who has the worst crush on her - me or Radcliffe - I'd rather not say."
Friday Night With Jonathan Ross airs on BBC One at 10.35pm on Friday July 3.
