On carrying the torch:
Rupert Grint: It was a very special moment. I don’t feel quite worthy enough to do it. It’s really overwhelming. It’s kind of a blur now when I think about it, but it’s really exciting.

News: And something very different from anything you’ve ever done…
Rupert: Yeah, it is actually. Running, in itself, is something I don’t really do often, unless I’m being chased. But it was just a really special moment I’ll never forget. I can’t wait until the games start.

How did you come to be chosen to carry the torch?
Rupert: I don’t really know. I was just asked through Lloyds; I got an invitation. I wasn’t expecting it. It was such a honor. It’s one of those moments you’ll never forget.

Are you looking forward to the games?
Rupert: Yep, I’m an Olympic fan. I’ve got some tickets to the swimming, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s so exciting that it’s in London. I can’t wait.

To carry the torch in London for the London games, that must be a really special feeling.
Rupert: It really is. It’s something I’m finding hard to really put into words. It’s just a really overwhelming blur of an experience that I hope I’m going to remember forever.
