| | |  Rupert Grint recovering from swine flu (UPDATED)
The BBC are reporting that Rupert Grint's publicist has confirmed that the actor is recovering from a mild bout of swine flu. Rupert reportedly took a few days off filming Deathly Hallows but is well enough to attend the Half-Blood Prince premiere on Tuesday. Quote:
"He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members," his publicist said.
Quote:
"Other scenes were shot in his absence which did not require his involvement and thus filming was not disrupted," she added.
UPDATE: At a press conference held today in London, Rupert commented on his illness; Quote:
"It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu," he said at a press conference with other Potter actors including Emma Watson in London.
"I thought 'Am I going to die?' But it was just like any other flu really."
"I had a sore throat and I went to bed for a few days."

I just thought... Is he the first famous/celebrity/world known person to have gotten swine flu? ...Hmmm.... it's enough to make him look SUPAH AMAZING!  They're doing press junkets this weekend.

I'm sort of shocked! I would never think that something like this would happen. I'm so glad he's better now and that it wasn't a big thing. Oh my gosh  Poor Rupert..

I'm glad it is just a mild case. It could have turned into something far worse. Thank goodness he's okay!

I hope he gets well soon but don't worry about it, swine flu is less dangerous than normal flu cos everyone is so paranoid about it. It's really nothing to panic about, the news just like to make people scared.
