Post New Rupert Grint photo shoot & interview in Live magazine (UPDATED)

Rupert Grint's full interview with the Sunday Mail's Live magazine has been released, which includes five new photos of the actor in a hotel room with an unknown model. The photos can be seen here:











Rupert describes how he went about buying his now famous ice cream van:

Quote:
'There was an advert in the local paper – an Italian man was selling an entire fleet of them and I couldn’t resist. It looked so beautiful: half pink, half cream with a blue roof, fibreglass body and wings at the back.

‘I remember the first time I took it out around my neighbourhood. I pulled in to the pub to do a U-turn and there were eight kids with their pocket money out, hoping to buy a choc-ice or whatever. But I had nothing to give them. I’ve learnt my lesson since then. These days I keep it well stocked. I probably spend more time driving around in that van than anything else, and if the acting suddenly comes to a halt, I can’t imagine a better job than being an ice-cream man. I love going on eBay and buying accessories for the van, things like light-up cones that I’ve stuck on the front. ’
Rupert also goes into detail over the many things he has bought with his fortune, including cars, sports equipment and video games:

Quote:
I’m into arcade machines – I’ve got a Sega Rally 2 Twin machine and one of those coin-operated fortune-telling machines you see at fairgrounds. I’m really into my vehicles too. When Harry Potter started, one of the first things I treated myself to was a quad bike.

'Then I went and bought a hovercraft a couple of years ago. I just thought it would be a fun thing to own. If I’m not driving it around the lake in my garden, I’m out in the fields with it. I love golf so I’ve got a Hummer-style cart to get me round the course. It doesn’t improve my golf, though – I’ve been stuck on a 12 handicap for too long now.

‘My first car was an Mk 1 Mini, which I bought as soon as I could drive. I turned it into something of a chav car with Lamborghini doors, spinner wheels and lights underneath. Next was a 1950 Chevy pick-up in maroon and black. Very cool. More recently I bought a bright orange Range Rover Sport, which I get a lot of stick for. People rib me that I only bought it because it matches my hair.

'I wouldn’t mind a collection of old Mustangs and a few classic hot rods.’
On whether or not he would become a bad boy or fall off the rails, Rupert said:

Quote:
‘That was never going to happen to me. Filming Potter is so intensive it doesn’t leave much time for going off the rails. It doesn’t mean that I can’t let my hair down from time to time. I never get completely out of my head but I can put away quite a few (drinks). But I’m aware, especially at premiere parties, that I can’t afford to be seen falling on pavements. I tend to do my drinking with old schoolfriends around the pubs where I live, rather than at glitzy showbiz places.

‘And I was never the kind of kid who was destined for trouble. Probably the worst thing I did was steal a hairbrush and a Billy Goats Gruff book from a local shop. I think I went in with the intention of nicking something and I must have panicked and grabbed the first two things I saw. Clearly a life of crime wasn’t for me.’
Rupert talks about co-star Robert Knox, the Half-Blood Prince Marcus Belby actor who lost his life last year:

Quote:
‘Rob didn’t have a big role in the film but I got to know him well,’ says Grint.

‘Everyone on the set liked him. He was a funny lad, a proper character. Going to his funeral... that was a sad day. Rob was the first young person I knew who’d died. The enormity of his death hasn’t really sunk in for me yet. But I’ve learnt something from it in terms of counting my blessings, realising how lucky I am and the importance of making the right decisions for the future.’
On meeting the Obama family earlier this year on the Deathly Hallows set, Rupert admitted he was a bit star-struck:

Quote:
‘I’m not easily impressed by famous people, but nothing’s matched this,’ he says. ‘I didn’t think I was going to be nervous, then this huge motorcade pulled up at the studio and Michelle stepped out of a black Range Rover and everybody was speechless. It’s hard to imagine Gordon Brown having that kind of effect.

‘We sat around, ate cake and chatted. She said that the President is a big fan of the films and loves the books, and that she’d met the Queen the day before – but visiting the Potter set was far more exciting, that we were a lot cooler. It was hard to take it all in. I kept thinking, “Here I am talking to the First Lady.”’
On his upcoming film Wild Target, Rupert learned a great deal about firearms:

Quote:
‘The best thing about that was learning how to handle guns,’ he says. ‘We were at a shooting range, and I thought it would be easy. Just aim and fire, right?

'But it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I wasn’t prepared for how powerful and loud a gun is. When you fire, it physically knocks you back. But I did learn to take a 9mm Glock handgun apart and put it back together again blindfolded.’
Rupert is strong on his belief that violence in the media does not affect real-life crimes:

Quote:
Next up is the gritty thriller Cherrybomb, in which Grint stars as a troubled youth dabbling in sex, drugs and violence. ‘I don’t have a problem with violence in movies,’ he says.

‘I don’t buy into the idea that violence in films is responsible for knife crime and things like that. Most people can tell the difference between a film and real life. I’m a huge Tarantino fan – I love Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, and if he came calling and offered me a role, I’d take it.
UPDATE: We now have scans from the magazine, which can be seen here:

I couldn't believe that he had that van. That's awesome!
I love classic cars, i want a black mk 1 mini. They're so british and elegant.
Just like Rupert's style.

Amazing Photos!

Awesome interview!! I love Rupert!! He's so Quirky and Handsome!! I love how he's holding the drink in the first picture! I always find it strange that Dan's photoshoots are always so eccentric, but Rupert's are always to GQ.

I feel like a cradle snatcher but he look HOT in those pictures! It's a great interview. I really hope that he goes far in his career, he was brilliant in Driving Lessons.

very smooth photos. but how many cars does one person need?

i always thought Rupert was lucky enough to find his dress style very early on. It's classic, but very very casual. It's a style he'll probably be wearing in about 30 years time and still look good. but GQ it is not! Dan can be slightly 'eccentric' because he's still trying to find his style, hence sometmes he gets it wrong, but not very often, or at least in his more formal moments. Thats what makes his appearences enjoyable. We all know what Rupert will wear, even in formal moments, his shirt tail is hanging out, his tie is never done up fully. Great, it suit who he is. But it's not GQ.

geez, from that first photo that lady on the bed looks like Bonnie. ewww bad connotations there

Rupert is now defo cooler than Dan. heck anybody who owns a hovercraft is cooler than anybody who has a garage full of hot rods but no hovercraft

is there a good picture of Rupe's Icecream van? i'd like to see how he modded that thing.

I love Rupert. Sometimes I feel he doesn't get as recognized as Dan and Emma, which is a shame. He's very talented.

Great interview!!! Learned more about him in that short interview than in all his interviews.
The ice cream truck thing is really cute Never would have expected the rest of the stuff!
I'm glad they asked him about Rob Knox. I think it's important for them to talk about it. It might help people be more aware of knife violence (and violence in general) to realize that someone from such a famous and beloved film franchise was killed by it.
Meeting the Obama's must have been AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha, he buys the most randomest stuff ! That's funny. But I think I'd cry if I randomly saw an ice-cream truck and wanted to buy some, and it pulls up, and there's Rupert.. (:

Rupert has a lot going for him. Seems like a really well grounded young man. His parents did a good job raising him. I'm sure they are very proud of him.

Seriously, he's the best acting wise of the three imo.
