Emma Watson watched reality shows to prepare for movie

Los Angeles: Actress Emma Watson says she watched “Keeping Up with The Kardashians” and "The Hills" to prepare herself for “The Bling Ring”.

The 23-year-old, who plays Nicki in the film, watched the reality shows to understand the psychology of her character, reports femalefirst.co.uk. “I watched a lot of `Keeping Up with the Kardashians` and `The Hills`, and I tried to understand the psychology of this kind of girl as much as possible. I didn`t want her to be just a parody. The accent was hard as it was a particular kind of dialect. I also thought a lot about what her parents must have been like,” she said at the Cannes Film Festival. “The Bling Ring” is a film based on a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who use internet to track celebrities` whereabouts in order to rob their homes including Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom, but Watson insists the film is not just another heist movie. She explained: “This really isn`t a heist movie. It was about how these kids wanted to pretend for just two hours or so that they were actually Paris Hilton and living that life.” IANS
