June 27, 2009, 3:30 am–In a new interview with the Telegraph actor Rupert Grint talks about the long awaited kiss between he and his Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson, and even opens up a little bit about his personal relationships with girls.

“I’ve never been seriously involved with anyone. I’ve certainly never been in love. I’ve always preferred to keep things casual,” he said. It’s not that I find it hard to meet girls – they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I’m interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types.”

As for Ron and Hermione, recently Emma Watson announced that the two had indeed filmed the scene but kept her comment very vague saying it took about six takes and they were done. Rupert calling the experience uncomfortable because Emma is like a sister to him still manages to give us a bit more details on what it was like for the two!

“We were determined to get it right the first time, but our first try was a disaster because we both felt so self-conscious and we couldn’t stop laughing.”

Note: There’s a bit of a heartbreaking confession toward the end of this article, rest assured that we here at ICM will do whatever we can to make sure this isn’t a lingering feeling.

Thank you Soph.

  1. Come on Rupert! You are just an amazing actor!! There is a lot of people that know that already. Believe in yourself! You are just great! And super hot!!! Cant you see?

    I like it that he give us more details about the kiss! And I hope we can get more in the next days.

  2. I submitted this as news.

    I can’t believe he doesn’t realize how good he is.

    I think I need to sit him down and have a talk with him.

  3. I love Rupert’s modest nature, but it’s just too much!
    Someone should tell him how much we love his acting!

    And I love more information on the Kiss)))

  4. Sit him down and talk to him. Hug him. Show him what his fandom is made of…that we’re here to stay and it has little to do with sheer fame. It’s more than that!

    I honestly feel like I’ve sort of failed him as a fan a little.

  5. Man Rupert don’t do this. :(

  6. Number 1: Okay. I don’t think I’ve ever loved him as much as I do right this second.

    Number 2: RUPERT, REALLY!? Ugh! Jo, next time you see him, smack him. Then kiss him, and tell him he’s a crazy person if he doesn’t think he’s good.

    Rupert baby, you’re good. Real, real good. You’re great in fact. Ugh…… If he stops doing movies…. I’ll pay someone to punt me off a building. What will I have to live for? (yes, my life really sucks that much)

  7. I can’t believe…
    He doesn’t know how talented he is.
    He should know that we love him for his talent, his acting, for his modesty, his sweetness… and many more. Not just because he plays Ron.

    Maybe we should speak louder :P

    Man, he just makes me love him more and want to stand in front of his face and yell that he’s great at acting :D and then hug him :P (and then maybe run away :D )

  8. “I honestly feel like I’ve sort of failed him as a fan a little.”
    Me too. Oh Rupes……..

  9. “It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career,” he said.

    “I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”

    I just got very teary and upset reading that the second time. The first time, I had to make a circle around my room, re-iron my hair, and then read again.

    Darling Rupert.

  10. I’m really steaming over here. I just wanna smack him in the mouth! (no I don’t)

  11. Yeah, we’re all getting a little emotional about this. ICM girls are going to bring it though, don’t you worry!

  12. Oh, Rupert, Rupert, Rupert…

    *shakes head*

    And then to top it all off, he’s never had a girlfriend. What is going on in the world?

  13. Well, Prof. Trelawney knows her sh*t…. the natal chart analysis is 100% correct. ;)

  14. Ivana!!!!!!!!!

  15. Seriously, seducing a Virgo/Capricorn type may be the most difficult task in the world… but it’s worth it.

  16. “It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career,” he said.

    “I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”

    *has no words* How can he not know? this makes me so sad…If I knew him I’d tell him everyday how amazing he is. God I can realte to him so much now, I know what it’s like to have low self esteem :( I feel your pain Rupert! But you have no reason at all to have low self esteem, you’re so talented!
    It’s cool that he doesn’t seem to care much about the girl’s looks…
    this is one of my favorite interviews with him now, but it makes me so sad

  17. LMAO, Ivana!

    I don’t know whether if I wanna slap him because that’s nonsense or kiss him because he’s just so damn humble/modest/absolutely perfect!

    Then again, I couldn’t slap him because I just don’t have the heart to. I love him too much!

  18. He needs someone who’s job it is to tell him the truth, and every morning that someone tells him he’s awesome and he’ll do great things.

    I’m still a little speechless.

  19. Cookie:

    And we love him for so many more reasons than most fans love the object of their…ummm…fanning…

    It’s more than a pretty face and a blockbuster film!

  20. He needs to stop letting things get to him. He doesn’t realize how many people believe in him. He’s gotten this far because he has the talent. Lord have mercy.

  21. I volunteer for the job!

    I’ll tell him every morning! I’ll roll right over, wake him up, and tell him.

  22. Sam and Jo: Exactly!

  23. There is a possibility that the journalist has pulled this out of context a bit, or reworked Rupert’s words. Wouldn’t be the first time.
    Jo, I gotta go run some errands now, but I’ll be back online in a few hours, so you can have some sleep. Man, you didn’t sleep last night because of Michael Jackson, and you’re not gonna sleep tonight because of this interview… :( Just take it with a grain of salt please!

  24. Seriously Rupert, you’re breaking our hearts! Stop it this instant! I dont ever want to hear such nonsense again. You WILL have a long career because you ARE extremely talented! What do we have to do to show you how adored you are? Send me a plane ticket to England, I’ll convince you!!

    *sigh*

  25. Well Ivana let’s hope you are 100% right and that these comments are false. Then I will go to sleep mate. ;)

  26. Gosh! I don’t know if I can sleep after reading this interview! Even if he didn’t say it, just the thought of him saying it bothers me. It sounds like something he’d say. Remember the Unscripted interview with Jeremy Brock when he said he wasn’t all that confident? *sighs in frustration* Then again, I do find it endearing that he doesn’t have an ego. You just don’t find too many people like people like that nowadays. Even if they’re not celebrities.

  27. Oh man… emotions… I dont know what to think.. Rupert, honey! You are so great!!!! I think I love him even more now if that is possible…

  28. My emotional pregnant ass is all over the place right now! I need to sleep, but I don’t know if I can. *looks at hubby, looks at tummy, re reads article*

    Damn emotional gingers!

  29. Remember the Unscripted interview with Jeremy Brock when he said he wasn’t all that confident? *

    Right, that is why I feared it might be true. He’s always wore his heart on his sleeve. No fear, we are still asking for a confirmation on this. I mean if he didn’t say it we can just take a big sigh of relief and put it behind us.

  30. Someone needs to sing this to him! (The lyrics are in the description box)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnMc4OFqXPg

  31. My heart can’t take it. I must go to bed and deal with it tomorrow. I will dream of Rupert hugs :)

  32. Me too! I need to take my insomniac ass to bed. G’night all!

    Love you Rupert!!! ;)

  33. I need some rest too. Rupert’s got us all in an uproar so early in the damn morning. my god!

  34. Most good actors are insecure about their abilities. They never say they are the best thing out there. They have a tendency to be shy and they don’t do well in social settings (unless it’s with friends) and they admit eventually at some time in their career, that’s why they act, it helps them ease some of those insecurities.

  35. Hmm maybe Suz but it still bothers me….

  36. *huggles Rupert*

    First of all, thanks Rupert for finally giving us a bit more details on THE KISS.

    We all know Rupert is humble, a bit shy and he has already admitted to being not the most confident person. I think that’s what draws us to him. Although we’ve all felt that he has gained more confidence over the last two years, this year especially (Year of the Grint!!)
    Maybe we shouldn’t be too worried about this. Rupert, from what we see of him in public, is a generally positive, cheerful and happy person who is loved by his family and friends (and his fans of course, but I was talking about people he interacts with regularly). He might have self-doubts, but he is strong and clever and won’t let himself put down by that. And he has us fans, fans who really care for his art. And through our support we will make him see that he is a good actor.

    It’s a normal and very healthy reaction to worry about the future, especially in such a volatile business. It just shows how smart Rupert is that he doesn’t take it for granted that he’ll have a huge career just because of his HP fame. And, in a way, it’s better he doubts himself a bit than being arrogant. That makes him a better actor, because he’ll always strive to learn and give the best out of him. He’ll never be self-sufficient.

  37. Eye opening interview. *sigh* Interesting tidbits about his love life. I always thought he’d go for the quirky type. As far as the acting, Rupert has got to start believing in himself. He’s so awesome and it’s sad that we all see it and dhe doesn’t :(

  38. Sorry, I’ve just come back, went to the forum and saw a new thread about this but it had been closed cause there’s already had another one. However I can’t find it in the forum. Is it in the restricted one?

    His words keep playing in my mind this whole morning…

  39. He is very sweet and modest but a little too modest..

    He’s acting is completely amazing .. alot better than most celebs !! and any girl would be lucky to have him :)

  40. Yep Andrea it’s in the RS. ;)

  41. “It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career,” he said.

    “I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”

    He was on drug that day or what!!???????

  42. well, IVANA, then I follow your thoughts here :P

    PFFFF, I think he needs more cookies :P

    I don’t know if I should be happy cause he keeps his head straight and never considers himself higher than the other. Or should I be sad (and a little angry) cause he is still lack of confidence sometimes (which may affect his career) . He should know by now a lot of people love him for his talents. Or we haven’t shown him enough support??? No I doubt it.
    Well, I don’t know what to think. I should stop before saying nonsense things

  43. “PFFFF, I think he needs more cookies :P

    Yes! That’s a great idea! Cookies always make everything better!

  44. Pffft, I had to delete your comment. Calm down, please!

  45. Thanks for deleting Ivana, I was about to have a throwdown. lol Too early in the morning for me.

  46. Oh my God!! I’ve never loved him more than I love him now ^^ He’s SO modest!! Too much modest, in my opinion… At least for his own good!!

    Oh, come on, Rupert, you don’t have to have that low self-esteem, come here and realize how we see you!! :D

    I can’t believe he’s been so open about his love life :o I loved the part about girls ‘chatting him up’ XD Lol!! I hope they don’t go to him just because he plays Ron Weasley in HP, if so, I going to hunt them and take revenge!! :x He’s so sweet, gentle and humble that he needs someone special like him :)

    It’s so sweet that he said he doesn’t go for the prettier girls. I don’t know why but I don’t find it surprising that he likes the quirky ones XD Quirky in the good sense of the word :) He’s a peculiar guy and he should be matched with an equally peculiar girl ;)

  47. PFFFF, did I say something I offend you? If so, I’m sorry.
    I just remember when Jessie talked about Ron and cookie and I just want to make a joke, no offensive meaning though.

  48. Oh Didn’t know it was forbbiden to speak his mind over here…….. Ups to you, doesn’t change my mind.

  49. Wow!! Vanessa!! My comment is so similar to yours!! :o But I hadn’t read yours before writing mine. We have parallel thinking XD

  50. Oh no at all Andrea, no no no. I’m just shock of what he’s saying!! How on earth he can think that about his acting!?! He’s just perfect, never took a single acting courses and look what he did!?!?. No way he can think that of himself!! I’m just in “schock”. I swear I’m not on drug!! lol

  51. wow, you made me worried :) I saw IVANA say she deleted your comment and I’m afraid that I said something that offended you :)

    Yeah, I understand. After reading the articles I’m just like : What? Why? How come? What’s wrong?

  52. Pffft, it’s not forbidden to speak your mind here, no, but we don’t tolerate that kind of language. This comments thread is open for everyone to see, and we must not be rude. This applies to everyone, not just to you.
    Peace.

  53. Ivana, I don’t think the comment got deleted all the way. I still see it.

  54. I’m sorry Andrea. That is my big fault,Speak my mind. But That’s outrageous he dare to say that of himself!!!!! lol just Unbelievable….

    Didn’t know the “bull****t” word was rude. Sorry Ivana.

  55. Ivana, all I can say is your chart is so spot on, it’s scary. I’m sensing the frustation you mentioned in the chart.

  56. It’s okay Pffft, I know you’re not a native speaker; it may be a casual thing to say in another language, but in English, it’s rude.
    Anyway, whenever you feel like venting your frustration, always remember that Rupert or some of his friends/family might be reading our comments. :)

  57. Ok! Thanks for letting me know that. I have no clue it was as bad. Sorry!!! So what the good word instead of that one!?! lol. But you know after all the F*** word, Motherf**” word I’ve read through the forum the bull*** word was kind of “gentle” for me.

    Anyway I will remember that anybody can read my comments but for my defense ;) ))) I will say for me the bull*** word is faaarrrrr less rude than what Rupert is saying about himself after all the support he has from all the ppl here. it’s a shame, he must be proud of him and his work.

  58. “I will say for me the bull*** word is faaarrrrr less rude than what Rupert is saying about himself after all the support he has from all the ppl here. it’s a shame, he must be proud of him and his work.”
    huh? you’re saying bull*** it less rude then what rupert said? he didn’t say anything rude! … wth?

  59. We’re all different Pffft. Some people naturally cocky and flashy, some are not.

  60. “It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career,” he said.
    Yes, you are! More than enough too!

    “I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”
    Poor him *.*! But…he’s like Ron about the inferiority complex, isn’t he?
    ♥.♥

  61. not sure if you girls have seen this or not, part two of the making of the game, rupert is in it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLc4Fid_E7E&feature=related

  62. ^he looks so young for some reason lol

  63. lol nvm I see it has been posted ages ago, I missed it somehow

  64. Yes your right Lalla Rosie, i think the same, he´s really like Ron.

    He is such a good actor. He has no reason to worry about his career. I´m sure he´ll get many good roles after HP.

  65. I know wicked jo he didn’t say a rude word. How explain myself!?!? It’s the meaning of what he said its “rude”. We support him because he is a tremendous actor, not just because he’s cute. We believe in his acting. We believe he will have a long career because of his abilities and work not because of his face, arms. In one hand i think what is saying it’s not fair for all of his fans but on the other hand he speak his mind, he speak his heart. Don’t know if it make sense what I’m saying. He must know we support him, so what’s the meaning of all the Cherrybomb campaign!?! You see what I mean?!?!

  66. Well, I don’t even know what to say about all of this. I wish I could have a nice long talk with him, too. All I can say is, a woman my age would not be interested in a young man his age if he wasn’t talented or if he wasn’t a good person. He’s one of the most wonderful and talented people I have laid eyes on. He needs to know that. People genuinely love him. I know I do.

  67. Thanks Carolyn, you save me once again…..

  68. After reading it i really feel happy and sad at the same time
    Happy because he is so humble
    Sad because whatever he said is not true , he definately has talent and not only i
    but everyone have said that he is the most natural actor in the trio and he will have a
    a long carrer .
    Why don t you realise Rupert you are a good actor and i am sure your
    carrer will not end after HP .

    [ Maybe the article can also be a fake one ... really , i don t know ]

  69. It’s understandable. The one constant guarantee in his life is about to be over. Ten years of HP and the big money machine backing it will be over. Of course he’s feeling insecure about it all. Who wouldn’t. He’s got a great film sitting on the shelf (so to speak) and he’s second guessing his career choice. Nothing wrong with that. Hell, my husband second guesses his career choice every year. lol If it’s true, I don’t begrudge him this moment. All actors have these moments of doubt. You hear it all the time. The “finding out I’m a fraud” or “People will realize I’m a lousy actor”. When it’s all said and done, Rupert Grint will continue making movies and we’ll all be there for him. :)

  70. ^^^^ *round of applause*
    My thoughts exactly.

  71. I can’t believe what he has said :O :O

  72. Awww, he’s just too darling.
    And seriously you guys, have ANY of you ever had low self-esteem?
    I know i do, and he does too!
    So i understand him!
    Even though we are good in some things, we are humble about it!
    :-D

  73. As someone who Ivana has said is pretty much a Rupert clone in the natal chart area, I understand him.

    I love to write. I’ve had people just be amazed by what I write. However, I think just like Rupert. I doubt so much that I’m any good though I continue to write and let people read it. It’s odd.

    Rupert, I hope you know that you’re tremendously good and that you’ll continue with your acting career. :)

  74. He’s a bit confused and we know he’s not that confident, sooner or later he has to realize how great he is at acting.

    I find strange this “confession” because in other interviews he always says he want to continue acting because that’s what he likes….

    We love you Rupert!!! You are an amaziing actor!

  75. I’m a little sad about this interview, how can he say those words? Rupert you are an AMAZING actor, the best of your generation and please don’t say that, we need you to stay in the business for a long long time, we will always be there for you supporting you in every movie or whatever you decide to do.
    Go for it. We love you :)

  76. Well, that interview ruined my day. I know what it’s like to live with self-esteem issues…wish he didn’t have to go through it.

    Rupert, you are amazing! Simply the best – just not utilized enough (but don’t get me started there). I believe with all my heart that you are far more talented than any of your peers. Please believe in yourself.

  77. God if he doesn’t have talent as an actor, what kind of future have the other actors? I bet 100% of actors of his age wish they have a tiny 10% of his talent!!!!
    GET A GRIP MR GRINT! U ARE A SUPERB ACTOR!
    STOP BEING A DAMN VIRGO! DON’T CRITICIZE YOURSELF!
    We should send him a letter, with lots of adjectives that describe the awesome actor and person he is!

  78. i just can’t understand how in the world he got to that conclusion about his way of acting! he’s amazing, one of the brightest actors of this new generation. he’s insane!

  79. Sorry Rupert’s come too far and he’s got tooo much talent to second guess what he is supposed to do. Plus he isn’t second guessing because he wants to stop and do something else. He loves acting and he wants to continue it. It’s the self esteem issues that’s getting in his way here.

  80. Gush.. I just love the SUPPORT and LOVE here for him! Rupert has to read this! :)

  81. hey girls from ICM, you could start a project where the fans can write stuff or make videos or take photos of themselves holding a paper saying something, whatever, telling him how much he’s good and how much we want him to continue acting. it’d be awesome!

  82. I agree with Suzeeq and Ivana. There are many actors who face this each time a project ends. They get jumpy that another project won’t come along soon enough. He has had a constant job with HP, and that’s about to end. He’s had plenty of opportunity while on hiatus (CB and WT) — but perhaps he’s feeling frustration over those projects just like we are. Gees, even Meryl Streep has said she’s always afraid of when her next project will come (Oprah interview for the film “The Hours”)
    On top of all that, he’s 20 years old! Don’t you guys remember that stage of
    development and maturity? One goes through a stage of choosing a career/meaning/identity over and over. His is a little delayed because HP always made his near future a certain one : actor. It’s natural to question.It’s natural to doubt.

  83. Is this interview on ontd?

  84. Here’s the Streep interview: http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/omag_200301_ocut

  85. I just adore him. I just effen ADORE him.

  86. He needs to remember Berlin. That was for HIM, not Harry Potter. Plus, the TONS of people and posts waiting for the scoop every five minutes on the forum the night of the Premiere. All that isn’t for nothing. That’s just an example of the love people have for Rupert.

  87. hey Carol! that’s a great idea!! I think I’m going to start today writing a letter =P

  88. Remember when Jo told him in Berlin that our CB Spoilers forum thread had over 20000 hits in an hour? He couldn’t quite believe it. Well Rupert it’s true!

  89. Well Jessica before you send anything to Rupert you should know we are gonna work on something to do as a fanbase perhaps to send to him. If you guys want to send him our comments or can think of something else please let us know. We are open to ideas!

    And no he didn’t believe me in Berlin. He looked at me like eer okay wow.

    ~Bilius

    I agree with this Bilus. It was kinda how I felt leaving college. Kinda how I feel sometimes even now.

    It’s kinda how I feel this got darn second……I hate driving long distances.

    *must get in the car*

  91. OH SHIT!! 90 comments!
    anyways rupert’s so humble and too modest cause like were all pretty sure he’s going to have a long career :D

  92. I wish there wasn’t so much rupert haters out there. Then maybe he would realize how good he is.Hell he’s my favorite actor.I talk about him everyday and it drives my mom nuts.lol

  93. That is so sad. I think he is a wonderful actor, and I think he will have a substantial career. I know I will do my best to support him.

  94. Rupert plase ,stop that, please don’t say that again ,NO more self-
    esteem issues ,That made us sad

    Everybody konw that your a very good actor
    and with GoD willing, I am sure your career will not end after HP, becouse You’re simply an amazing .

  95. Though I’m a bit sad that he kind of has a low self-esteem when it comes to his career, I think it’s a good sign that he has some doubts. That means that he takes his job seriously and wants to do it as good as he can, so he’ll try to get better and better with time :D That’s professionalism. And the fact that an actress like Meryl Streep has the same thoughts just confirms it. I know for sure that GOOD actors really worry about their job and are constantly doubting their talent. They are their worst critics.

    As a matter of fact, I hate it when actors say that their job is a piece of cake. That’s completely arrogant and plainly false. Acting is being millions of different people. Just looking at the street and checking people makes you realize how hard of a job acting is… I remember Emma once said: ‘Acting is sooooo easy!!’ in an interview she did in CoS era, I think. Normal, her idea of acting is putting faces and voices, but she doesn’t impersonate her characters (no offense to Emma fans, I just don’t like her artificial acting). If you do that, of course it’s easy!! That’s a piece of cake. But the real acting is another thing… I kind of like the idea that Rupert is so worried about his future career because that means he realizes that what he does is very difficult and requieres talent, that is, that he respects his job :)

  96. “Seriously, seducing a Virgo/Capricorn type may be the most difficult task in the world… but it’s worth it.”

    Oh Ivana,i loved that you said that,it’s so true…I’m a capricornian,so i know what you mean… ;)

    Well,i think he’s insecure in pretty much every aspects of his life,insecure people usually are like that,unfortunelly… :(
    I got so emotional with this,i really really hope from the bottom of my heart that he changes his mind :( And i hope the RA helps on that ;) I’m still very emotional but i loved to read that he doesn’t go for the prettier types. :) And after all was good to finally know a bit of his love life (though i thing he has the right of taking care of his privace) :)

  97. OMG, are you kidding me? How could he not know how talented he is! He can be an idiot sometimes.

  98. Rupert, you got amazing talent! Just Don’t forget that some girls are out there for just your fame and not money. Hope to see you more often on the big screens ! (:

  99. Er I mean personality, shh (:
