London - Emma Watson was "soaked with a vat of water" prior to her Harry Potter kiss.
The 21-year-old actress - who has played Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise since she was just 10 - smooches co-star Rupert Grint in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and admitted the pair were worried about the hotly-anticipated moment "living up to all the hype".
She said: "We knew that we'd been building the anticipation of this moment for 10 years. It'd been going on for so long. Rupert and I really wanted to make sure it lived up to all the hype. We were nervous, it was awkward, but I think we did the moment justice.
"The funny thing about it is the moment before we kissed, we get soaked with a vat of water so we had that going on as well."
Emma - who broke down in tears as she addressed fans at the premiere of the final movie in the franchise at London's Trafalgar Square - explained she will "really miss" living in the wizardly world of her alter-ego.
Addressing co-stars, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe - who play Ron Weasley and Harry Potter respectively - she added "I will really miss those boys. I will really miss Rupert and Dan. I will really miss being Hermione and living in her world."
Stacy Keibler was born in Baltimore on 14th October 1979, Stacy Anne-Marie Keibler grew up wanting to be a star. Her parents, Gary & Patricia, nourished their only child’s dream by taking her to ballet, tap and gymnastics lessons. By age five, Keibler had even earned her SAG card.
She joined the Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders in 1998, where she graced a Ravens trading card. A year later, Keibler’s life changed forever when she entered a dance contest for a spot in the WWE Nitro Girls lineup. After winning the contest and $10,000, Keibler joined the crazy world of wrestle-mania by dancing with her fellow Nitro Girls during commercial breaks of “WCW Monday Nitro” (1995-2001).
After only a month, she was promoted from sideline dancer to wrestler in the ring – using the stage name Miss Hancock on TV’s popular “WCW: Saturday Night” (1991-2000). Keibler learned the ropes and soon became a fan favorite – especially when administering her trademark moves like the spinning karate kick and the foot choke.
The less talented dancer but beloved former football great Jerry Rice bested Keibler with viewer votes, providing the only shock of the night. The "Dancing with the Stars" champion -- once Keibler lost her shot -- went, not suprisingly, to former 98 Degrees singer and brother of Nick, Drew Lachey.
