Gala: Eddie The Eagle Talks Rupert Grint In New Interview!
February 11th, 2010, 10:00 PM- A few news stories have surfaced again mentioning Rupert Grint and his involvement with the Eddie The Eagle Edwards biopic, but this new article from the Daily Mail has some slightly new information including a direct quote from Eddie and what he thinks about Rupert being cast to play him in the film!
Indeed, the Eddie The Eagle story could soon be brought to the big screen, starring Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films. ‘He can’t start filming until he is clear of his Harry Potter commitments, and with everything I won’t believe it until it actually happens, but I’m quite excited,’ says Eddie.
‘The script is about more than just laughing at me. It’s looking at what I did, and what it meant. It’s about life as well as the Olympics.
‘Is it all about winning? Of course not. Even today, I always say it was never about medals. I don’t even have my participation medal on display. My gold medal was the taking part, and that will never leave me.’
And it helps, presumably, that Rupert Grint is a genuine heartthrob, almost handsome, in a certain snow-bright light? ‘Oh yes,’ he laughs. ‘That is most excellent casting.’

Most excellent casting??!!! I will take it and run with it. Thanks Eddie.
February 11th, 2010
Eddie I love you! LOL Not that we didn’t know this, but it’s great to see Eddie be happy over this.
February 12th, 2010
This is soo cool to hear! Maybe there will be more stuff up about the Eddie project now when Olympics are starting!
February 12th, 2010
I can’t wait!
And yay for Eddie saying Rupert’s excellent casting! So good to hear that!
February 12th, 2010
Yay! ^^ I’m excited! Go, Eddie, go!!
February 12th, 2010
I don’t know, maybe Eddie lurks around the site…

My eyes fell straight on this line as soon as i opened the website today…
“And it helps, presumably, that Rupert Grint is a genuine heartthrob, almost handsome, in a certain snow-bright light?
‘Oh yes,’ he laughs. ‘That is most excellent casting.’ ”
and I am very very Happy…esp with the genuine hearthrob and excellent casting part…

Yeah its funny how they haven’t even started filming yet and again GRINT fans just have to know every little detail!!
Perhaps Eddie has found us. I am just glad he likes Rupert lol because I was worried since he was quick to say who he didn’t like. Phew, stamp of approval from Eddie. I can now breath a sigh of relief!
February 12th, 2010
“almost handsome”??? tsk, tsk, tsk. LoL Rupert is most definitely handsome. But I forgive the paper. “Genuine heartthrob” makes up for that slip.
And Eddie is such a sweetheart. “Excellent casting” indeed.
February 12th, 2010
I’m happy Eddie approves. This movie is about him and if he was displeased with the actor portraying him, then that would be awkward…. but in all honesty, who in their right mind wouldn’t like rupert?!
February 12th, 2010
Rose you are right about that. I was gonna say that. Who doesn’t like Rupert? Except for some of those mean male journalists we were discussing on the forum lol. They are just hating because they are jealous. Rupert can have any girl he wants. MA HAHA.

This article makes me very happy if it’s genuine, and I hate to be the one to even say this, but… it’s the Daily Mail, isn’t it? Are they reliable now or something?
