Is Emma Watson the next box office bad girl female lead? The answer is yes in her new film "The Bling Ring."

British actress Emma Watson successfully steeled away herself on the stereotypical role as the geeky muggle Hermione Granger. However, after moving away from her sweet, innocent image, she now portrays a troubled teen doing drugs and crime.

 After causing trouble in Perks of Being a Wallflower, Emma Watson is continuing her bad-girl streak with her next movie: Bling Ring, a Sofia Coppola-directed story of teens who burglarize celeb homes.

Emma told E! Online that she raises more hell in Bling than Perks.

"I do cause a reasonable amount of trouble in [Perks]. I do Rocky Horror, I ride around on the back of trucks, I don't take any drugs in this one, so that's good. But she's a free spirit, for sure!" the actress said.

The 22-year-old British actress is now opening her doors to more grown-up roles. Reports said that the young actress is willing to take the controversial role of Anastacia Steele in the film adaptation of the erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" if Ryan Gosling will play the role of Christian Grey.

Emma Watson literally rose to stardom after her small part in last year's critically acclaimed "My Week With Marilyn," Emma will star in the upcoming The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which premieres at the recently concluded Toronto International Film Festival.

Emma shared that she was a bit emotional when she first saw the film and she cried when she first saw it.

"Sam's real. She has insecurities and a past. She's very human, and that's what drew me to play her. There are just so many teenage roles that don't have very much to do with what it's actually like to be a teenager," the British actress said.

There is no stopping this young Brit in taking over Hollywood as she will be seen in few other films, "Bling Ring" and "Noah."
