    Emma Watson took up the 'liberating' exercise regime of pole dancing while filming The Bling Ring

    Emma Watson is making a decent attempt to wave goodbye to her good girl image, by learning how to pole dance.

    The actress took up the racy fitness regime while working on the set of her new film The Bling Ring - a Sofia Coppola directed flick about a group of American teenagers who rob celebrities homes - in LA.

    Emma was recommended to try the exercise, which is the fitness secret favoured by many celebrities in Hollywood, by a friend, and was reportedly 'amazed with the results.'

    A source told The Sun: 'Like on all film sets, there’s often so much time spent doing nothing. One of the other actresses on the set has been pole-dancing as a sport for a while and Emma decided to give it a go as well.

    'She’s amazed with the results because it has toned up her body so well.'
