Los Angeles: Harry Potter star Emma Watson says she is scared of relocating to the US. Watson, 21, who is originally from Britain, admits she could never see herself settling in the Golden state because of the country’s fast lifestyle.

“LA scares me. I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad. I will absolutely lose it,” said Watson.

The Brit, who moved to the US in 2009 to begin her freshman year at Brown University, insists being excited initially. “I felt suddenly very claustrophobic.

I thought, ‘I can’t stay (in England). I won’t be able to concentrate. I won’t be left alone,” added Watson. The highest paid actress also elaborated on maintaining her “good girl” reputation. “I couldn’t imagine giving my family any more trouble — it’s already been complicated enough. My dad is one of the top international-communications lawyers in the country, and trying to argue with him was a nightmare, so I learnt quite quickly to be good with words.

“My mom is an incredible woman. She moved back from Paris with my brother and me after the divorce, and worked full-time, supporting both of us. But I felt I wanted to take care of her — I didn’t want to give her a hard time,” said Watson. (PTI)
