Rupert Grint: Exclusive New Interview With The Daily Mail!

June 27, 2009, 6:01 pm-We just reported that Rupert Grint conducted a new interview with the Telegraph where he opens up quite a bit about his career and the infamous kiss scene with his Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson. Well now the entire interview has been published online exclusively with the DailyMail where he opens up for the very first time describing personal fears about the acting business, his goals for the future and how fame has still not affected him. It’s one of the most telling and heartfelt interviews Rupert has ever done and we are so very proud of him.
Excerpt:
From here on, I don’t want to play it safe. I need to take on roles that are as far away from Harry Potter as it’s possible to get. If I’m to continue as an actor, I need to play characters that are nothing like me at all.’
This interview is also accompanied by some new amazing photos that will surely leave the fans breathless. Click here to view them in our gallery.
UPDATE :We apologize in advance but with this incredible interview just coming out we won’t be posting any of the latest Harry Potter news till a little later. We feel this deserves all of the focus.
Please feel free to also join us in the forums to discuss this article and please leave your comments on the article at the DailyMail to show your support for Rupert!!!
UPDATE 2: We decided to post the latest Harry Potter news as an update.
The French TV show “50 Minutes Inside” has aired an exclusive clip from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince starring Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson showing many new scenes from the film with Ron Weasley! The clips reveal more Ron/Lavender action, Ron’s Quidditch tryout and a even a new interview with Rupert and his Harry Potter co-stars. In addition, there is a cute shot of Rupert jumping on a trapeze with a broom! (Perhaps, that’s where Rupert discovered he’d like to know how to perform gymnastics…)
You can upload the footage here via MEGAUPLOAD and on youtube here!
More upload options will be made available when provided.

I’m in awe. Amazing just focking amazing.
June 27th, 2009
He is sooo amazingly georgous in those piks … Great Interview too
June 27th, 2009
Speechless.
June 27th, 2009
I cannot comment. Must stop being dead from hotness. Thank you. High-res ASAP too… photo agencies, where are you?! Rupert fans want them like yesterday!
June 27th, 2009
HOTTIE!!! My man in a suit! Finally!
Rupert, I’m sending you tons of kisses from Belfast! What an end to my time here
June 27th, 2009
WOW! I am just.. WOW… this is Blag all over again! Only more NC-17!
June 27th, 2009
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. I am at a loss for words. *sigh*
June 27th, 2009
Guess who’s happy?
June 27th, 2009
*i’mnotpostingthis,I’mnotpostingthis,I’mnot*
Fuck me, Rupert!!!
June 27th, 2009
And the interview is great as well.. wow… I just love the man…
June 27th, 2009
OMG THAT INTERVIEW.
And I’m completey turned on about this bit.
I did learn to take a 9mm Glock handgun apart and put it back together again blindfolded.’
omfg.
June 27th, 2009
Still speechless. Just when I thought I couldn’t love him any more. Geez US Christ!
June 27th, 2009
Same here Jo… I said today that I couldnt possibly love him more.. Well he proved me wrong!!!
I also could not go without leaving a comment on the site.. need to wait while it shows though..
June 27th, 2009
There is just something to knowing that Rupert can disassemble a glock blindfolded!!!
June 27th, 2009
What else can he do blindfol… *rushesofftoasecureplace*
June 27th, 2009
Are you FREAKING kidding me? Tell me this man couldn’t play James Bond! He is STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS! Rupert, are you reading this? STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!!! And that girl in those pics is one lucky broad. He is so deep and intelligent. I just love getting to know him more through these interviews. I love that he’s opening up more. I love hearing what he’s got to say. I love that he can hold his liquor.
Oh…God help me. How he was with the First Lady, that’ll be me with him. All nerves. He is just the coolest bloke EVER! And he is continuing with acting, oh yes he is! He’s not going anywhere.
June 27th, 2009
OH, he looks like he could be the killer in American Psycho or something. The mirror shot is my favorite.
June 27th, 2009
I love how you can see Marilyn Monroe’s face in the mirror in the shot of him and the model’s leg.
June 27th, 2009
Wow…just wow!
Best.Rupert Interview.EVER!
He was so open in this. I hope this is a sign of more to come from hime. Girls, yall better get us some good info at the premiere. He seems like he’s ready to share these days!
June 27th, 2009
Amazing.
June 27th, 2009
Oh God. I just got finished the interview. Anyone who says Rupert isn’t interesting needs to read this and Blag. I’ve learned more about him in these two interviews than I have in all the years I’ve been following, and I learned a lot over the years! He’s really coming into his own… and that quote about people wanting him in films and all… does it not seem as bad to you guys? It seems less sad than it did when The Telegraph quoted it.
June 27th, 2009
And if these pictures don’t scream “I deserve another magazine cover”, I don’t know what does. Year of the Grint Baby!
June 27th, 2009
Yeah the skies look a little bluer, Tao. Maybe that was a teaser to bring us all in .
June 27th, 2009
Tao I agree not as bad but still bothers me because he still feels not so confident. I mean just look at those photos. They are so fucking intense. He can get any role! And learning this about Wild Target now. He has all of these cool details to share and nobody is interviewing him about it. WHY??????????????! These media people can kiss my ass man.
June 27th, 2009
Things I just adored: Learning about his vehicles (or more about), learning about him having one of those coin operated fortune telling machines (LOL), and that he’s gotten really serious about his acting. I think we’ll see a LOT more grown up stuff… more challenging then Cherrybomb for sure!
June 27th, 2009
I think I am loving the “fringe out of the face” look on him. CB introduced us to it, but these pictures of his heart shaped face sans quiff=STUNNING!
June 27th, 2009
Aquarian, I couldn’t agree more. I love his face, so damnyou, WB for always covering it up!!!
June 27th, 2009
Oh, it still saddens me, but it’s not as sad because the context makes more sense.
I agree about learning Wild Target stuff. I love that! He can put a 9mm together blind folded. LOL I also love his deep comments about violence in movies and what role it plays in culture (I agree with you Rupert!) and his candid comments about Rob Knox.
I also love that he gets all serious and then just comes off about the Ice Cream Truck tunes. (Which makes me wonder if that guy ever gave *our* CD to Rupert…)
June 27th, 2009
I laughed my ass off at his story about driving his ice cream van out for the first time. HAHAHAH.
June 27th, 2009
I love that the writer includes that he’s generally regarded as the most naturally talented of the HP trio ’cause it’s TRUE and never gets said.
June 27th, 2009
oh. my. god.
SOMEBODY IS GIVING JAMES BOND A RUN FORHIS MONEY.
i forgot to breathe for a second. i’m good. i swear.
June 27th, 2009
Um…
…I think I’m cheered up about the interview now.
*faints*
June 27th, 2009
lol Soph!
I’m tempted to go back to the sex house here…
June 27th, 2009
errr. the one where they filmed the CB love scenes.
June 27th, 2009
Down my street! Down the street from the guesthouse Rupert and I stayed at.
Not together…
I WISH!!!
June 27th, 2009
LOL Karo, I was like “what the heck?!” when I read your “sex house” post
June 27th, 2009
The interview and the pictures are amazing!! Rupert is handsome!
June 27th, 2009
That…. that was the BEST INTERVIEW, EVER!!!!!! Ahhh!!! 9mm!!! YES! Kill Bill?! YES!!!!
Rupert, fucking just marry me already. Shit.
June 27th, 2009
YUMMMY
GAGAGAGAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIOING!!!
EYES BULGE OUT !!!!!
he looks so james bond 007
June 27th, 2009
Ahhhhh, great interview. I love to read it. And the pictures….. amazing !!!!
June 27th, 2009
Yes FugitiveStar,
THE SEX HOUSE!!!
Thanks girl for yesterday, I might have to PM you again and see what it yields tomorrow….
June 27th, 2009
Wow. People must be speechless because I thought it would have been more than a hundred comments by now. Haha
June 27th, 2009
KC I am one of them.
June 27th, 2009
I actually went to the kitchen and grabbed myself a nice cold beer. I need to let this soak in for some times first. Omfg.
June 27th, 2009
Was anybody expecting this? I wasn’t expecting this at all. lol
June 27th, 2009
Rupert has a lake and a garden. WOW! How romantic!
June 27th, 2009
^^^ And a cool hovercraft to drive around it!
June 27th, 2009
HOTT pictures!i’m glad i posted them on here while i did!
June 27th, 2009
Wow…WOW!!! Beautiful, just beautiful inside and out. What a handsome, sweet, adorable man. I feel so stupid getting so up in arms from the earlier reports.
And let’s face it, no guy EVER grows up.
June 27th, 2009
WTF <<in a good way whoa is what i can only say!!
love the pics!!
Lookin good rupert!!!
June 27th, 2009
little bit of topic but the staff is aware of the new 11 minute long french bts of HBP right?
June 27th, 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9vV2nWdnYk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffeltbeats%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded
its this one but they had to cut off a bit of it!!
June 27th, 2009
i love how rupert in the begining says his name in french and im pretty sure its his voice
June 27th, 2009
*breathing literally stops* Holy crap!!!!!! How is it that this man gets sexier every time I see him?!?!?!?!?!!! I mean, the look in his eyes as he’s combing his hair and looking in the mirror is enough to kill a girl! *fans self*
June 27th, 2009
Whoever sent him the ice cream tunes CD or whatever it was is so lucky, being that that was, according to him, the best thing that’s happened to him lately.
June 27th, 2009
These pictures made me fall out of my chair! And then my husband wants the computer! How am I supposed to celebrate Rupert’s talent and those pictures when hubby hogs the computer?!?
June 27th, 2009
Wel, I just have to say that this interview looks thousand ways more better than the phrases we got from it previously.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTEN TO US, RUPERT AND FOR USED SOME OF YOUR FREE TIME FOR PHOTOSHOOTS!
WE DON’T MIND IF YOU KEEP DOING THEM!
I just felt so touched by this phrase :
“I’ve certainly never been in love.”
This in a certain way makes me feel a little sad for him.
He’s almost 21 and certainly is not like Ron Weasley in this case.
June 27th, 2009
I love, loved the interview, he is an adorable person…God bless him!
June 27th, 2009
Bless him indeed. Such a beautiful person.
June 27th, 2009
HOLY MERLIN!!
Why didn’t I see this sooner??
OMG!! My heart nearly stopped when I saw the first pic of him sitting on the sofa with the bare-backed girl laying on the bed behind him. That suggests something… *nudge nudge wink wink* XD
June 27th, 2009
Oh my god. I just want to take all his Chevy pick-up and hide somwhere in africa so no one can find me, i love those stupid cars!!
I have nothing more to say, ‘cuz im speechless. I love the mirror picture though, But its so weird seing him like that! Jeans, T-shirts and the messed up hair suits him the best
June 27th, 2009
Is this on ONTD/LJ?
June 27th, 2009
The shot with him (hands in jacket pocket), woman’s leg in forefront: this is a
direct take off of The Graduate poster. Heehee. I really like the tuxedo shirt, but the side=part –not so much.
June 27th, 2009
I totally loved this interview!!! he was so open at it!! God, I love him more and more every day… The photos are OMG!!!! I’m so excited to see him in a suit like that!!! and his hair!! aaaah! everything!! he is so gorgeous!!! Thanks a lot for sharing this girls!
June 27th, 2009
Someone should post this on ontd, spread it around lol
June 27th, 2009
I did submit it to ontd, it’s just taking the mods ages to approve all the posts.
June 27th, 2009
cool. lol what did you submit the thread title as?
June 27th, 2009
OH. MY. GOD. ,i just can’t stop laghing,i’m officially dead,why he does that to me???! My poor heart!
June 27th, 2009
When is my comment going to show up?! I posted it ages ago on that site
June 27th, 2009
Probably tomorrow. Moderators approve the comments and it’s 4:30 am uk time.
June 27th, 2009
Is that the movie this is from? I read on Twitter someone said this was a take on their favorite movie… but now that The Graduate is mentioned, I think that might be it!
June 28th, 2009
It does resemble it but in the movie she’s rolling her stockings down her legs.
June 28th, 2009
Tao it’s very simailar..
http://flicks.stanford.edu/image.php?id=75
June 28th, 2009
They probably couldn’t do it exactly, so I’m going with that. I can’t really think of any other movie it could be about… but I could be wrong.
June 28th, 2009
Well, I’m really happy. How about you guys?
June 28th, 2009
wow… just wow… the best interview ever and amazing photoshoot.
but why the most interesting things happen when here is night?! oh,well…
June 28th, 2009
Thanks for clarifyingk Karo. LoL
I knew it. I knewt it. I KNEW IT. *makes a smug face*
This is all due to HBP promotion heating up and Rupert will rock this movie. And now the WB have finally given Ron the attention he deserves and Rupert the chance to really show even more of his incredible acting skills (not to mention his sexy good looks), the media finally FINALLY pays attention.
This is the best interview besides the Blag one I’ve ever read from him. He shows how deep, sensitive and smart he is. He also shows how endearingly quirky and funny he is. This interview is touching and enlighting. Of course it’s still sad that he second guesses his acting skills so much, but as others have already said, in this context it sounds a bit better. And we’ll continue to show him how awesome he is.
And the pics… when I clicked on the link to read the interview, I didn’t even expect (so many) pics. My jaw hasn’t dropped as far down since I first saw the Tony pics. For how long have we been saying he needs to do photoshoots in a suit. How beautiful, cool and sexy he looks. The next James Bond indeed. He’s prepared for it. He already can put together a 9mm gun blindfolded (I wonder what other miracles he could achieve blind folded
)
June 28th, 2009
omg, the interview and pics are amazing. it’s so good see him opening up.
as for rupert not being mentioned as the most naturally talented out of all three, actually that’s all i’ve been hearing whenever hp is mentioned during promos in australia. in fact, this point is emphasised.
June 28th, 2009
You’re certainly right, guys. Oh my God, what an interview. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an interview with Rupert that was this in-depth (I haven’t read the Blag interview yet as it hasn’t come out where I live). I never figured out Rupes was this deep and that he had so much to say.
And the pictures…what can I say that hasn’t already been said. Incredible and so adult, he really is a man now.
He’s changed so much from the cute boy I admired so much in PS/SS.
June 28th, 2009
breathless. really.
June 28th, 2009
The Interview is very cool , Rupert is soo000 cute
June 28th, 2009
WOW WOW WOW!!! i absolutely loved this interview! it feels like i know him sooo much more from just reading this interview. he is such an amazing person. i kept on smiling during this interview especially when he was talking about his cars. hhehee i truely believe that he will be the most successful out of the three. he shouldnt worry about not getting any roles. he’s a natural at acting!
the pics were absolutely stunning! he is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my mouth dropped when i saw them. im still drooling over them!
btw love this site. ive been a lurker for quite some time. =P
June 28th, 2009
HI Julia nice to meet you.
June 28th, 2009
I adore everything he said in this interview. Full of emotion! But I think I love the part he talked about ice cream van the most
June 28th, 2009
Hi Jo! =]
June 29th, 2009
OH MY GOD!! fuck me rupert!! the pics are amazing and so so gorgeous! i love love the interview and how rupert describes girls like he doesnt want to fall for really pretty girls like all they care about are themselves but strange girls like pretty but strange like the same things he likes. this interview is amazing!!!!!! I’m on a trip home and when i get home I’m printing everything out that i missed for 4 days i love this interview and I can’t stop staring at his pics and smiling!! rupert looks so much like James Bond and I love every shot especially where he’s on the couch and he’s holding a drink and theres a girl on the bed, AMAZING!!!
