Update2: Rupert Grint at London Apple Store Monday

Posted by Dijares On August - 23 - 2010

Rupert GrintRupert Grint, who portrays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, will make an appearance this Monday, August 23, at the London Apple store to help promote his film, Cherrybomb.  The appearance is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. GMT.  August 23rd is the day the film will be released on DVD in the UK and is the day before Rupert’s birthday.

UPDATE: We now have a few photos of Rupert at the event.  You can see them in our gallery here (thanks to SS).

UPDATE 2:  Thanks again to Snitchseeker, we are able to post videos from Rupert’s Meet The Actor panel discussion during his appearance at the London Apple Store.  One fan from New Jersey wished him a happy birthday.  Rupert mentioned the DVD release of Cherrybomb and the future of Harry Potter and Leavesden Studios.  Also, he confirmed that Leavesden Studios is currently being renovated for the Harry Potter attraction and museum that will open in 2012.  And of course, he had a few words about his relationship between him, Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson.

Sometimes, it was hard to understand what was being said due to the acoustics of the place so here is an excerpt:

Are you working on anything currently?
Rupert: Not actually right now. I’m enjoying some time off. I might be doing some things maybe next year.

Any singing? Musicals?
Rupert: When we were in Florida I did karaoke. “I Got You Babe” … It was quite nice until I found it on youtube.

On the last two reincarnations of The Doctor, it sounded like he wanted to be ginger. If offered the role, would you take it in Doctor Who?
Rupert: I would do that, yeah. I haven’t seen much of the new ones.

Did you take some memorabilia from the set?
Rupert: Yeah, I did. They’re really quite strict with what you take. You have to be quiet, obviously. I got from Privet Drive the Number 4.

Have you ever thought about going to any acting school? Not that you need it.
Rupert: Yeah, I have thought about it. When I started it was a bit of a fluke really. I just sent a video of me doing a rap to Newsrounds … I can’t actually remember all the words. It was basically just a lot of information of me that rhymes. Yeah, I sent it in to the casting people. Being on set has been a real education really. It’s been incredible being on set.

One of your Japanese fans touched your eyelash. What did you feel?
Rupert:She won a competition to come and meet the cast. And she was quite excited about my eyelashes. She touched them … It was quite strange.

If you were a type of cake, Rupert, what cake would you be?
Rupert:I’d be a Victoria sponge.

Would you consider doing a series of films like the Harry Potter ones again, or would you want to stick to single ones like Cherrybomb?
Rupert: Yeah, I would probably consider it, if it wasn’t a wizard one.

Fan Fundraiser In Honor Of Rupert Grint’s Birthday

Posted by Lilysowl On August - 14 - 2010

Rupert GrintRupert Grint, who portrays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, will be 22 on August 24.  In honor of his birthday, our friends at RupertGrint.net are planning all kinds of projects.  But the closest one to their hearts, as well as the hearts of the Grint Family, is raising funds for a charity organization called BeatBullying.  It is an organization that mentors victims of intense bullying and works to prevent further bullying in schools through education.

RupertGrint.net has already donated £150 (approximately $230 USD) to the cause!  Here are their suggestions as to why fans may want to consider donating to this worthy cause:

- This charity is specifically recommended to us by the Grint family, so you know it’s something that Rupert will support your donation toward!
- Every £1/$1 donation will go toward helping children who have suffered the traumatic effects of bullying and making sure that the vicious cycle of bullying is broken.
- You can get creative! If you haven’t got much cash of your own to donate, start a mini-fundraiser of your own! We’re partial to bake sales, but there’s also walks, yard sales and the like! Take your pick and get going!
- Our campaign is running through JustGiving.com, a totally secure website which will automatically convert your donation to British pounds if you’re donating from outside the UK. They accept donations via credit/debit card or PayPal.

Fans who donate before August 18 can send a photo and a short message to Kait [at] rupertgrint dot net.  These photos and messages will be included in the birthday scrapbook our friends at RupertGrint.net will give to Rupert in person.

Rupert Grint To Appear On BBC’s Top Gear

Posted by Lilysowl On June - 29 - 2010

Rupert GrintHollywoodNews.com reported that Rupert Grint, known for his role as “Ron Weasley” in the Harry Potter films, will appear on the BBC television show Top Gear on July 11.  The popular UK program is a “must-see for car fanatics”.  Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May (who are the hosts of the show) discuss everything related to cars as well as the different types, such as the luxury ones to the sporty ones, and even the more unusual one.  And we definitely know who has unusual one–Mr. Grint and his Mr. Whippy Ice Cream truck.  Click here to see a photo of the truck in our photo gallery.

But Top Gear is still entertaining for viewers who are not car fanatics.  For celebrities appear on the show to compete for the chance to drive around the BBC track in one of the vehicles featured on that particular episode.  The challenges and the shared information about vehicles also make the show entertaining.

The article mentions that the episode with Grint should be fun to watch due to “his affinity for unusual vehicles”, his personality, and “his natural flair for comedy” and “his love for acting silly on television” (referring to his appearance on Comedy Relief 2009).

:) I can’t wait until that Top Gear episode comes to BBC America!

Video: Trailer For Wild Target With Grint & Nighy

Posted by Lilysowl On May - 1 - 2010

Rupert GrintThe official trailer for Rupert Grint’s film Wild Target has been released online.  The actor who portrays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films starred in this story about a “hitman with a heart” with Bill Nighy prior to Nighy receiving the role as “Rufus Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic” in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Although we previously reported that Wild Target would be released in UK cinemas on April 8, the date has been extended to June 18.  Unfortunately, there is no word on whether or not it will be released in the US. 

According to the film’s official YouTube page, the synopsis is:

Bill Nighy is Victor Maynard, a middle-aged, solitary assassin, who lives to please his formidable mother, Louisa (Eileen Atkins), despite his own peerless reputation for lethal efficiency. His professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself drawn to one of his intended victims, Rose (Emily Blunt). He spares her life, unexpectedly acquiring a young apprentice in the process, Tony (Rupert Grint). Believing Victor to be a private detective, his two new companions tag along, while he attempts to thwart the murderous attentions of his unhappy client (Rupert Everett).

Perhaps it is due to the lateness of the hour and I get too busy with Harry Potter news to go out much, but this is the funniest trailer I’ve seen in awhile.  Grint really has some funny moments.
