Post Rupert Grint talks acting, Obamas & Quidditch to Times Online

In a new interview with the Times Online, Rupert Grint spoke about how much he has changed as an actor throughout the Harry Potter series, his Quidditch turn in Half-Blood Prince, and his future in acting, amongst many things. A new photo of Rupert was attached to the article, which can be seen here:



On being a part of the massive Harry Potter franchise, Rupert says that he is isolated from the rest of the world, in a sense.

Quote:
“Being in Harry Potter is like living in a bubble, and it slightly hinders your independence.”

“You have got a lot of people doing stuff for you,” he continues. “So I guess that doesn’t help.”

“I’ve never really had control over my hair. Warner Bros decide how my hair is going to be, and I can’t really change it.” Similarly, on his own adolescence, he muses: “To be honest I haven’t really noticed any changes, besides the physical. Being away from the real world means that I didn’t have many real complications.”
Rupert describes the day he met the Obamas, along with Dan, Emma, and J.K. Rowling:

Quote:
“It was quite an overwhelming day,” he says. “It was Sasha’s eighth birthday, so J. K. Rowling came down with them. They were really nice. We sat there, eating cake. Just me, Dan [Radcliffe], Emma [Watson] and the Obamas — who had about 30 people with them and 20 security and 10 police cars. It was quite surreal.”
Rupert once again explains how painful Quidditch was, despite his eagerness to play it:

Quote:
“I’ve a lot more to do in this one, and I’ve even got Quidditch!” boasts Grint, referring to the sporting sequence normally reserved for Harry but in which Ron this time is the hero of the team. He adds, however, that filming the sequence itself was “quite painful in, er [points shyly to groin], that area. You’re sitting on that broom for hours at a time — it does tend to chafe.”
He also explains how much better he has become as an actor:

Quote:
“Yes,” Grint confesses, “I’ve noticed that in the early days I was just reading my lines. I wasn’t really acting. But over the years, and especially with the different directors we’ve had, you try to give more.”
Finally, Rupert contends that he will be pleased to move on from the series:

Quote:
“I have loved doing it, and I’m sure I’ll miss it in a way,” says Grint, before adding gleefully: “But it will be nice to have a bit of freedom.” And what about acting? What if it all falls through and you have to leave the world of movies and stardom? Grint lets the words sink in and slowly begins to beam at the very prospect. “I think I’ll be all right,” he says, free from boyish hesitation, and sounding instead, and for the first time, like the 21-year-old man he’s about to become. “I’m quite happy really.”

You'd think they have absolutely no freedom the way these kids talk. I love Rupert. He's great.

I love that picture of him!! He's so hot! I love how laid back Rupert is...he never gets too overexcited, which I can appreciate because I'm the same way...unless it's Harry Potter.

But I love the part about him buying stickers for his ice cream van...seriously Rupert!! Buy a house or a car or something.
