Rupert Grint Attends Rally of Great Britain!

» October 25 by Tao in Rupert News with 43 Comments

28km3yo1October 25, 2009, 3:38pm–As we told you a few days ago, Rupert Grint would be attending the Rally of Great Britain today as a spectator. While pictures seem to be scarce, we have finally found one of Rupert being interviewed! You may view the photo in our gallery here thanks very much to Generate Sponsorship! Here is what they had to say about Rupert on their twitter:

We’ve spent the day in Wales at the WRC with Harry Potter star Rupert Grint – top bloke!

We are still searching for pictures and hope to have video of any interviews Rupert may have conducted there!

UPDATE: We now have some great HQ pictures thanks again to Generate Sponsorship! You can view them in our galleries here! We also have a quote coming up from Rupert in a moment. Stay tuned!

UPDATE 2: We now have a long quote from Rupert, and more information about the reasons for his attendance. Check it out here, and we will certainly be cheering for James… ;) And there is also a video of Rupert from Dave TV via youtube. Edit: There is also a clip of Rupert from this event showing his expression up-close to the speeding cars from WRC and available on our youtube here.

EDIT 2: More rally clips thanks to staffer Karo. Check out Rupert and his brother James standing side by side at the Rally event on our youtube here. and also another short clip of Rupert and James here……
Translation From This Clip:
The speaker says this: Rupert Grint, the actor you might know from the Harry Potter films, is also at the course with his brother James; James Grint, an enthusiastic rally driver; and they’re enjoying a bit of the action.


With things being so busy on ICM we have forgotten to mention that our dear friend Lilly has recently completed another amazing drawing, titled “A Second Chance”. Check it out in our gallery here, and if you would like to read the story that inspired it, visit Lilly’s LiveJournal!

  1. *squee* HQ I love it! Thanks a million to the good people at Generate Sponsorship! :)

  2. i’ve seen the interview already! Half of it is in car-language xD

  3. OOoooohh, GREAT!!
    I freakin’ love that leather jacket. He looks so… *cozy* in those pics!!
    I’ll be waiting for the interview and the quote.
    Yeah, we know— he’s a top bloke!

  4. Oh Rupert. You need to see a Nascar race! I think he’d be even more excited. LOL

  5. No offense Tao, but Rally is the bomb. lol They race in all weather. Rain, sleet and snow. lol

    But yeah, I’m for him checking out Nascar. I think he would enjoy it.

  6. Haha Yeah, I think Nascar is faster which is why they have a harder time racing in all weather. I know they have tires for rain, but I think the speeds scare them to be doing that. But man, he’d be amazed to see them at say Talladega or even Martsinville which they’re doing right now. :)

  7. Yeah, I’m watching Martinsville right now. Lots of cautions happening but that’s expected at Martinsville. lol

  8. yeah… Rally pics… much news this week…

  9. Okay, the pic I just uploaded is a smaller version of the HQ pic we have. No biggie. :)

  10. It looks fun, and it’s cool Rupert was able to attend. Nice interview as well!

  11. Rupert + races = Tao in Heaven :D

  12. That is completely true! LOL Now if he could come to Nascar and root for JR, I’d be in 7th heaven. :D

  13. I love his outfit and when I was younger I wore buttons all over my jackets too. *pretends I’m closer to him for that* ;)

  14. Haha Is that a trend that’s coming back? When I was a kid I did the whole pins thing on my jacket. :D That’s what the 80s were famous for!

  15. Thanks Ivana for the picture gallery update! I’m glad that you’re finally back!

    Now I’m really sad and bothered with that message on Twitter of someone that saw him smoking. I really hope it’s not true!

    Please Rupert, don’t this to you!

  16. Twitter is full of sh*t Lilly, remember all those stories about Emma arriving to Brown in a private helicopter? :P

  17. It was cold there. Perhaps they saw smoke coming out of Rupert’s mouth because of the cold and decided he was smoking. :P

  18. Love our baby! Just wanted to let everybody know that Ace Of Cakes was at the HBP Premiere and the show will be on this Thursday on the Food Network. It’s on at 10:00 PM for me, but everyone probably needs to check their local listings.

  19. Wow, that’s true Tao!! Maybe you got what this girl saw!!
    Oh, I really hope you’re right!
    I still believe he wouldn’t do such a bad thing to himself since we are so well alerted today of how bad to smoke is. ;)

  20. I thought Liam was a male name……

  21. Rupert, I love you.

  22. Thanks for uploading those extra clips, suzeeq and Karo!

    He looks great!

  23. If my connection is nice, we have two more clips coming up. But I’ve already been kicked offline 8 times within the past 2 hours, so I can’t promise. And it’s 2am, so I’m dead tired.

  24. Fingers crossed, Karo!

  25. You can do it Karo! Yes you can! lol

  26. [img]http://i35.tinypic.com/mhabkm.gif[/img]

  27. *swoons*
    that’s… that’s a nice clip you have in that gif, Laura…
    He’s so bloody sexy!

  28. Rupert bundled up in that coat is hot. I don’t know why. LOL

  29. That rally stuff is crazy, those folks standing next to the track are some brave souls.

    I love Rupert’s reactions, he’s visually astounded. It’s completely adorable. lol

    And him bundled up like that is all warm and super tasty. ;) Just like hot chocolate with the tiny multi-colored marshmallows. Which appears he could have used.

    And again, James looks like a giant next to Rupes. Is he exhaling, Tao? He always seems to be doing that. lol ;)

  30. Rally stuff! Yay!
    *sigh* Gosh, Rupert and James are the hottest brothers ever!

  31. Ha, Michelle, I was just going to say I always thought James was taller than Rupert, but in the two German clips Karo provided it does look like they are the same height. James is a bit bulkier though.

    So, I should’ve watched Eurosport yesterday for a change? I normally don’t watch it. I’m not much into watching sport on tv (anymore. I used to when I was younger), except maybe when the Olympic Games are on. So, while I knew the rallye was yesterday, it never occured to me Eurosport could show it. Thank God we have Karo. :D

  32. damn he looks great, I love the clips and pics – he has such a boyins smile in the second HQ pic, adorable :) lovely to see the Grint brothers together as always.

    Tao: “Rupert bundled up in that coat is hot. I don’t know why. LOL”
    because it’s Rupert? lol he’s just always hot no matter what ;)

  33. oh I wanted to add I’ve been so busy and so haven’t been around so much but I was just checking out the filmography and I have to say what an amazing job you girls did, as always. I found it such an enjoyable experience to go through all his works, looking at the early trailers and reading the trivia stuff was so much fun. plus I love the layout! Congrats ICM once again

  34. lol Sabine, I usually don’t watch it that often. But I was hoping for a Grint-glimpse, and got one :)

  35. He looks so good in natural lighting! He needs to portray some type of outdoors guy/ backwoods man/ gardener/ poolboy/ wild scottish highlander…… ;)

  36. I did a post but I lost it due to high volume something or other. Anyway, I originally asked where this second video of the two are but now looking at the post I see it, but to be honest (i’m old guys so that may be a factor) it was slightly confusing. Update, edit, youtube, here all in red. I got lost and not see that there were two vids. Not complaining just pointing out.

    Love cuddly looking Rupert with his hoodie and scarf.

  37. Is beutiful Rupert!!great!yeahh..i love you boy!!

  38. It’s not a scarf, that thing around his neck is a part of his sweater! ;)

  39. Yes, indeed Talley. Rupert is really cuddly looking. :D

  40. I use to listen to this early morning sports show on the radio; mondays are Golf specials (I love the show talks about every sport).
    Because it’s Golf, I always pay close attention– it reminds me of Rupert.
    But today it was Rupe-relatedx2! They also talked about the Rally, which was pretty cool :D

    It was a nice start for the day ^.^

  41. Can you say late for the party. I was MASSIVELY late…

    Oh My Gosh, he is soooo cute….

  42. Oh, so much to catch up on, I love your picture Lilly…

  43. Karo! You’re simply the best! The idea with Eurosport was genious (the turning-round of the two is like a study of brothers) and the Filmography Site became superb. How do you manage while your exam work? Georg
