"Harry Potter" star Emma Watson learnt pole dancing for her upcoming film "The Bling Ring".
The 22-year-old has a small pole dancing sequence in the Sofia Coppola directed film, reported Sun online
"I did learn to pole dance for the film, and I have a small pole dancing scene. But it's not a performance for anyone else, it's just me messing around with my friends.
"I took lessons. When I was preparing for the role I was studying at Oxford. So I had this surreal experience where I was studying the modernists, writing about Virginia Woolf on Friday night, then driving to London for pole dancing classes on Saturday morning," she said.
Watson also said that she is highly inspired by the women who perform it regularly.
"I was incredibly ungraceful at first. The upper-body strength and the core strength you need to do it gracefully is crazy. I take my hat off to the women who can do it. You have to be incredibly strong," she added.
