For those a bit curious about the relationship between Dan and his two Harry Potter costars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, the actor shed a bit of light on how close - or not - they actually are, in a new interview.

Dan said: “There’s this idea that Emma, Rupert and myself are the best of friends who always hang out together.

“I’m just going to put out there, Emma and I text all the time but Rupert and I never text each other, we never see each other.

“If I see him every six months or so, it’s a friendly, ‘Hello, how’s things with you’ but that’s about it.”

The star also told me the three of them were once offered roles in a Wizard of Oz remake.

“I had a lot of offers post-Potter but I just try and stay away from any of the next big fantasy franchises ... or anything crap, really.”

i always had a feeling that outside potter rupert and dan really dont talk

I am totally not surprised that Rupert doesn't keep up with people. Luv ya, Rup! :lol:

Well, Rupert doesn't seem to be the social type of person, so I'm not surprised. (Although it would be nice to see both of them together again.) :(

I don't watch Jay Leno much, but I'll definitely keep that in mind...and Craig Ferguson too, if it's confirmed. (Please appear on Conan, too, Dan!) :x3:

Wow.....New York on 31 Jan and LA 1 Feb! Dan sure is racking up the frequent flier miles! Sure wish I still lived in San Diego - a short hop up to see Dan in LA!!!!

I always thought that Dan and Rupert weren't talking that much. He was always the quiet bunch I think.

Maybe they don't like eachother, or are they still friends?

Isn't the source of this news with Dan and his relationships with Rupert and Emma from a tabloid? I don't know how much stock I put into it.
Even if it is true though with Rupert and Dan...this happens with alot of people after spending a great deal of time together. Anybody who has graduated from school can attest to this. I'm sure they like each other and consider the other a lifelong friend due to all they have experienced together but their lives are going in different directions right now.

I am sure they are still friends, Rupert always appears to be the quiet one of the trio. When Dan talked about Rupert on the JR show, there was a lot of affection in the story he told. The problem the trio face is we all exoect a replication of the onscreen relationship, nothing less will do. But if you relate it to your classroom/work place relationships. There are people within those environments you get on great with, but never see them in a social enviroment. In fact you know nothing about them outside of school/work. yet i'm sure you and they would still class yourselves as friends. Also remember this quote is 'cold' you have to hear and see it in context of the interview. I remember Matt saying Rupert is so laid back that they might not text for ages, yet when they meet it's still cordial.

nice.

I wouldn't always believe what some things say. I think all of them would keep in touch. Rupert is the quiet one of the trio, and he might not talk as much as Dan and Emma.

Hmmm interesting. I do believe though that him and Emma stay in touch. Not too sure about anything else though...still it doesn't matter really :D

I think rupert just likes to be private and not get sucked into the Media crap that follows epic franchises.

can I just say that i can't believe people are falling over that quote without stopping and think for two seconds?

I mean, for one the date of this so called "quote" is dated February- when we still on January.

#2 it didn't quite registered till i clicked on the "source" link that it was THE mirror. one of the two WORST newspapers in all of Britain. I mean both mirror and the daily mail (or daily FAIL as some people call it) are notorious for misconstructing quotes and creating Drama when there is none.

in fact the whole "Emma and I text all the time.." been taken from another interview, from mtv about emma and dan texting each other for advice, and if recall rupert got mentioned there too:

I mean another thing in fact, it was The mirror one of those trashy newspapers which broke the news about dan and his girlfriend and got the facts all wrong.

So why is snitchseeker quoting that piece of rubbish as if it was gospel's truth, without a second or third source corraborating that quote? cause let me tell you I went google hunting and the only news source who says that is the mirror- the others are just repeating the mirror stuff.

i mean honestly, before I laid eyes on that ridiculous "quote" I watched the Jonathan Ross interview and Rupert got mentioned quite a lot by dan in feeling grateful for the gift rupert gave him and making jokes about the trumpet that only a friend who knows the other could make, and just said a lot of lovely things about rupert like "Rupert gave me a trumpet which he himself had engraved. because rupert he is slightly mad he engraves gifts for me an emma of random instruments and yeah it's lovely.... he writes cards to us.... when this japanese girl met rupert she was obsessed.... and if you know rupert he cannot cope with that kind of thing' struggling to keep it together and still be the polite nice person he is "

you know that's quite a few nice thing he said about rupert' and that interview is from this month.

and oh look An ACTUAL quote, by Dan on an Actual interview, where he says the Exact opposite:

"And certainly he and the other young cast, in particular Rupert Grint and Emma Watson who played Ron and Hermione, are close to his thoughts as are other cast members such as Tom Felton, who played Draco.

He said: “We are all just very supportive of each other, as you would expect I suppose.

“They all come and see me and I’m excited. Rupe has just been finishing a film, Tom has got loads of films coming out as well as Planet of the Apes, Emma has just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower. We all keep in touch.”

and even if it's true that Rupert and Dan dont text as much as Rupert and Emma or Dan and Emma- how in the world is that supposed to mean they're not just as good friends?
I mean for one thing Dan HAS gone with Rupert to stuff in the past- like say Oh look This: (which was two years ago- three if you count january 2012):
http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-po...updated-67759/

or the fact Rupert took time off his schedule to go see Dan at HTSIBWRT:
http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-po...musical-82596/

and dont they say actions speak louder than words? so what if rupert is a bit more quiet and reserved? that doesn't make him any less of a good friend material. if anything everyone praises him for being able to make people laugh.

and alright, maybe dan and rupert haven't seen much of each other last year, but that's because Rupert was filming Comrade in NORWAY and dan well been a theater all year round performance. maybe the Reason why Dan and Emma been able to text each other more or seen each other more this last year was because they were both in the states, while again rupert was filming in norway.

plus it would be just typical of the mirror to try to put a spin to it that hints at emma and dan being closer because of the usual they used to fancy each other drama thing.

and lastly, they all been apart for what now- 5-6 month? when they known each other for 10 or so years? i bet that once things calm down and they are each settled in their respective individual career they'll get in contact more. a few years do not break a true friendship (and i'm talking from experience- I wasn't able to talk to my best friend for 2 years- and when we got back in contact it was if no time has passed. and it's not like they lack the technology (skype,etc)

oh By The way! Jessie Cave mentioned Rupert was going to be on one of her skits for pindypy (if he hasnt already been on one):
http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-po...e-eagle-86325/

So if Rupert can keep in touch enough with Jessie Cave, who he only know since she got introduced as lavender in the sixth film, he more than likely can keep in touch with Dan and emma, whom he had known longer.

so all in all I call that quote a shady piece of shady scandal rag, we should have more trust in what we already seen from the trio in showing that they are good friends- instead of listening to an usually unreliable piece of rag like the mirror.

and that's all i'm going to say.

????

How is keeping in contact with someone you worked with for 10 years is
"get sucked into the Media crap that follows epic franchises"?

keeping in touch, wether little or a lot, is what most normal people do!

if he doesn't talk to the media, because it's not really any of the media darn business, about it that's a completely different thing.

You are on a roll!!!! :woot:
I agree, most definitely. This seems like rubbish. I could NEVER see Dan talking about his personal relationships with the cast like this so bluntly. I bet him and Rupert dont talk a lot yeah, but this exaggerated? No. I also don't think he wouldn't call ANY franchise crap. That's definitely not Dan.
I agree with everything you said. They are very busy and for them to throw it out of context like this is wrong. They all love one another and try to see each other as much as possible. They're all doing their own thing now and I am sure they all keep in contact.

Well it's the least I can do when some of my favorite actors are being slandered by such a deporable excuse of journalism. not to mention i like making people in fandom stop and think instead of taking stuff at face value.

I mean I took journalism for two years, and even though i have no interest in the career, at least i learned the basics.

and that quote is just such a sorry excuse of journalism- or the fact that it's been taken at face value with no double checking is insane.

Leno? Ferguson?(he's good, but I want more) No! No Dan!
Do CONAN! Do CONAN! Remember how much fun you used to have on his show when he was in New York?!

In other words, Dan & Rupert are typical guys.
Still don't give this article must credence. Dan is more articulate than that.

Hmm, goldenGryffingirl has made a very good case for taking this Mirror story with a grain of salt. Her sources and back up seem much more reliable than the original source. Good job. (and p.s. - even if they haven't texted for awhile, it means nothing. My best friend and I have separate, very busy lives now. Sometimes we don't see each other for over a year, and may talk only every 6 mths. But when we do, it's as if the last time we hung out was the day before. That's what close friendship is - it can always withstand extended separation).

No, I'm not buying the Mirror Story. I think they probably keep in touch more than this states. And if they don't, that doesn't mean they aren't close. They are both busy guys and yes they may start drifting farther apart, but doesn't mean they aren't friends. Rupert for Pete's sake wore Dan's HTSIBWORT shirt and one of Dan at one of the Potter premiere's. I think they are fine.

The general wording doesn't sound like Dan at all, really.

Honestly, who cares? Fans WANT them to be BFFs, like in the books and movies...and real life may or may not be that way. Whether the quote is out of context, a direct lie, or the God's honest truth, it doesn't matter!!!

Exactly. Daniel said already he isn't texting with Rupert that much, because they are both lazy. But Daniel was one Time really angry at the Press already, because they wrote is as if Rupert and he are not Friends, what is not true. Now it happens again. Daniel didn't say for sure these exactly Words the Mirror posted. I'm a bit shocked to see Snitchseeker posted it. I don't know who gave Snitchseeker the Link of the Mirror Article, but it must be someone who is really believing it and this is just sad.

They aren't obligated to be best mates, they are not Ron and Harry i know, But there's something in Daniel words (IF they're his), that seems a bit harsh... Almost like if he didn't like Rupert, which i don't think by the way.
On the last 3 interviews i've seen (cos they were videos) of Daniel, he always talks about Rupert, even if the interviewer don't mention him, and always using nice words, and with a smile in his face, the way you do when you remember someone you really care about. So i get they don't see each other often (specially cos last year they lived in different continents) but saying that when they see each other they only say "Hello, how's things with you. bye" Sounds like the polite relationship you have with the neighbor you hate.

I agree with many on this board. Seems like a "cut & paste" job was done with the quotes from Daniel. You know that this is going to be addressed in the Jay Leno show. Ratings people. I am sure that he is going to do some damage control. typical PR stuff.

right
but one of the main reasons why a lot (NOT all' some last till people die) is that they lose the things they have in common.

I would definitely think rupert, dan and emma have enough common experiences to stay friends for a lifetime, even if At Times it's hard to keep in contact because of their work. and even if they loose contact that doesn't mean that years down the line they cant meet up again and make their friendship stronger.

It's not because of what the fans want or not (personally I usually facepalm really hard at that whole real life vs fiction obsession some fans have- such as for example some fans being obsessed with erroneously thinking that emma and rupert are going to get married down the line- which i find ludicrous, worrisome and relatively disrespectful)

HOWEVER, that's not the issue here. the issue here, and the one that DOES MATTER is that it has been show time and time again in interviews or behind the scenes that Dan, Emma and Rupert do care for each other very, very much.

and, as none of them seem the kind to fake or be false in front of cameras- quite the opposite, based on evidence given by them directly it is a fact they get along pretty well. maybe not Bestest friends ever, but they are close.

now, against All actual evidence given by the actor themselves on the 10 years they known each other, here comes this random article of a well known as TABLOID newspaper- claiming the exact opposite.

What BOTHERS the people complaining about the article is not wether or not is true (and as I have shown it is most likely the article to be completely false) is that A. the mirror would sink so low as to try to stir drama with something so vile. and B. that Some people are putting More stock on a single article of a piece of crap newspaper than on the actor's actual opinions shown in the past.

THAT'S WHAT'S ANNOYING.

of course they are not obliged to be friends. the same way rupert and emma, or david thewlis and natalia tena are not obliged to date just because their characters get together in books-movies.

BUT the actors themselves have demostrated that they esteem each other very much and consider the other a very important person to have in their lives. (go no further than the speech dan gave on the last day- or the fact the people he went to hug were in fact rupert and emma.)

and what's bad is that, wether or not the actors are BFF or not, that's their business and it's rather vile and disgusting for a well known tabloid for claiming otherwise for the sake of readership and stirring non-existing drama.

Daniel cleared up Rumours Daniel Radcliffe to perform with Florence and the Machine? - Features | MSN Movies UK Would be nice if someone could post it to get the rude Mirror Article out of People's Mind

Clearing up the rumour, Radcliffe said: "We haven't fallen out! That's been blown so far out of proportion.

"It's not that we've fallen out. It's just that we're both extremely bad at texting people back and meeting up!" the Woman in Black actor added.

"We have been like it for ten years!" Radcliffe said.

What exactly is to post or change? Dan didn't deny the comment he made, and we never EVER said anywhere in this story that Dan and Rupert weren't friends. That was implied by readers, not by us. We just noted what Dan said about his relationship to Rupert and Emma, and the comment from MSN (which we did see earlier in the day), hardly contradicts the initial comment in the Mirror. How is it nasty if it was Dan who said it in the first place? The outrage over how the comment was exaggerated and misinterpreted was ridiculous, but we did not imply it, at all.

Dan's comments speak for themselves. What he told MSN is something he said years ago, about the pair of them never texting. What he told the Mirror, once again, doesn't contradict that. He told the Mirror that he and Rupert don't speak or hang out, which is true. He never said anything about how that affected their friendship. Admittedly the Mirror took its own spin on it, but Dan's words/quotes speak for themselves.

So please, enough. We as news moderators don't enjoy being lambasted by readers and whatever about something we never said.
