Emma Watson: 'I want to start taking more risks'

The 20-year-old, famous for playing Hermione Granger in the blockbuster series, said she wished she had “done more naughty things” and wants to make the most of being single.

However, she revealed that she rarely gets asked on dates by men and longs to fall in love. In an interview with The Sun ahead of next week’s London premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – the final film of the series – Watson said she felt she was leaving her life as a child star behind.

“Three months ago I cut my hair and at that moment I felt I became a woman,” she said.

“At the moment I’m just happy to be single. I want to live life to the full. But I’m more grown up and confident now. I’m ready to take more risks. I feel less girlish than ever.

“I’m very romantic and of course I want to be in love. But men don’t really ask me out.”

Watson, who has amassed an estimated fortune of £20 million since beginning her acting career aged nine, is currently studying for a history degree in the US at Brown University, Rhode Island.

She said she enjoys being able to avoid the limelight there, because she is not as well known in the US, but misses Britain. She claimed that one boyfriend had never heard of Harry Potter and had no idea she was a famous actress.

Watson added that she has further acting projects in the pipeline but also wants to write a book and learn to play the mandolin.

Eddie Cibrian`s scorned ex-wife opens up about LeAnn Rimes

Eddie Cibrian's scorned ex-wife Brandi Glanville has opened up about her nemesis LeAnn Rimes.

The former model broke her silence on The Talk over the affair that ended her 12-year marriage.

Asked whether their marriage was 'already broken', Glanville shook her head. 'No, it was not. It was a happy marriage. I didn't know he was unfaithful prior but once I found out it all came crumbling down.'

The brown-eyed stunner also admitted that she had botox injections and went blonde after the CSI: Miami actor, 37, left her for Can't Fight The Moonlight singer Rimes, 28.

'I went into this mode of completely picking myself apart - was I too old?' she said. 'Too skinny? Too whatever? I went into self-hate mode, I wanted answers. I lightened my hair, I went blonder, I went darker. I went and got botox.'

Asked how her two sons - Mason, seven, and three-year-old Jake - have coped with the sudden split, Glanville said: “Once we sold the house it hit them. They were like, 'What's happening, why are there no clothes in daddy's closet?' I panicked, so I told them 'Oh, you're really lucky, you'll have two houses and two dogs'.'

Glanville told how she used Twitter to offer an olive branch to Rimes, because she had no other way to contacting her.

'I reached out to her. I did get her to call me and we are going to sit down and we are gonna talk, just for my children's sake.'
