Emma Watson has revealed that she learnt pole dancing for her upcoming Hollywood film The Bling Ring.

The 22-year-old actress told GQ magazine that she has a small pole dancing scene, but it’s not a performance for anyone, and that she is just messing around with her friends in the film.

She said that she took lessons for the dance while she was studying at Oxford, the Sun reported.

Watson asserted that she had this surreal experience where she was studying the modernists, writing about Virginia Woolf on Friday night, then driving to London for pole dancing classes on Saturday morning.

The star, who played Hermione Granger in Harry Potter films, said that she was incredibly ungraceful at first, as the upper-body strength and the core strength person needs to do it gracefully is crazy.
