What Daniel Radcliffe Really Thought About Kissing Emma Watson: 'She's a Bit Of an Animal'
Filming eight Harry Potter movies together turned three random kids into best friends for life, but have you ever wondered what it felt for them to shoot those passionate kissing scenes with each other?
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint quite literally grew up together on the set of Harry Potter.
Their relationship has overcome one too many obstacles: constant fights with each other, grievances, and the ultimate test — young-age fame and money. They've passed all the tests and remain close friends to this day.
Enough has been said by all of them about how weird it was to kiss each other in the last two movies.
Emma Watson, who had to kiss both Daniel and Rupert in separate scenes, even admitted that there was something incestuous about it since they were all feeling like siblings at that point.
Dan and Rupert generally agree with her on this.
But Daniel also has quite a bit to tell us about Emma's kissing skills — and let's just say, he was shocked back in the day.
In The Deathly Hallows — Part I, when Ron Weasley is trying to destroy one of the Horcruxes, it shows him a vivid vision: Harry and Hermione are in love with each other, happy to have finally been left without him.
In this vision, the two friends turn out to be lovers. They mock Ron and passionately make out to scare him away.
In the movie, this was a vision that made Ron suffer; in reality, Dan and Emma were suffering because of having to shoot this scene, and Rupert was laughing so hard that he had to leave the set since he became a massive distraction.
The stress of the upcoming kissing scene with her best friend terrified Watson, and she decided to dive head-on, catching Dan completely off guard.
He later recalled how it felt — and how shocked he was when the scene started. Daniel was expecting a soft and sensual kiss, and what he got was, quote, "vigorous kissing."
"She is a bit of an animal — but then, I'm not complaining. There are tens of thousands of men that would cut off limbs to be in that position," Radcliffe confessed in the interview.
Well, that's one way of describing a kissing scene with your almost-sister who also just so happened to be one of the bigger sex symbols at the time.
