Photo Credit: Splash NewsJuly 04, 2009, (Sawf News) - Nineteen-year-old Emma Watson, who has worked with co-star Rupert Grint since she was 9-year-old, says kissing him on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows "felt like incest."
Emma Watson plays Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint, Ron Weasley, both starring roles, in the Harry Potter film series.
Speaking on BBC’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Emma said kissing Rupert in the final film of the series was just about the most uncomfortable filming experience of her career so far.
“We did the kiss two weeks ago and it was the most horrible thing I’ve ever had to do,” Emma said. “There are millions of girls out there who would probably chop their left arm off to kiss [Rupert], but it just felt like incest. That’s the only way I can describe it.”
“It was fine that I was actually kissing him because I had my eyes closed so I could not think about the fact that it was him. The worst bit is when we had to open our eyes and look at each other because then I was just like, [laughter] and then we couldn’t keep going. But we did it in the end. Six takes — not bad. It could be worse.”
Rupert, echoed similar sentiments last week.
"We've known each other for 10 years so it was a bit like kissing my sister," he said.
Rupert, who has become a millionaire acting in Harry Potter films, says he has never had a girlfriend.
Watson, who has spent over half her life acting and made a fortune doing so, recently told Teen Vogue that she may never act again because she isn't sure acting excites her to the same extent any more.
Watson was cast for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1999, as a nine year old.
She is now poised to enter college to study English Literature and art.
