Actress Emma Watson "wanted to be" Spice Girl Emma Bunton growing up

Talented young actress Emma Watson, who rose to fame as Hermione Granger in the 'Harry Potter' movies, has revealed that as a child she adored Baby Spice and wanted to be her.

During an interview with ITV's 'Daybreak' to promote her new movie, 'The Bling Ring' (pictured below), Watson deviated from the world of film to discuss her love of the Spice Girls and revealed that Emma Bunton was always her favourite member:

"It was when I was 7 or 8. I wanted to be Emma Bunton. She was so, so cute. I had a friend called Ellie and we would fight because she had blonde hair."

"So she thought she could get to be Emma and I said my name was Emma. This went on for months."
