RupertNewsIconMay 9th, 2013, 2:56pm– We have an amazing treat for all Rupert Grint fans tonight. Thanks to Anonymous (we would love to know your name, so we can give proper credit…), we have this amazing picture to share with you guys:

Rupert-Grint

This amazing picture was taken by photographer Tim Booth and you can see a larger version of the image in our gallery here. We don’t know what the purpose of this photoshoot is, but we will investigate and update with further information and more pictures if they are unvcovered. How do you like the look of this new photoshoot? Let us know in the comments!

The official CBGB facebook page as also released yet another image of Rupert as Cheetah Chrome rocking out on stage. We’ve also added that image to our gallery here.

UPDATE: We now have more details about the Tim Booth picture, and it is extremely interesting. On May 1st, Tim updated his blog with the following quote:

Spent the day shooting stills on the set of Instruments of Darkness, which was a chapter for the film Enemy of Man directed by Vincent Regan. This one is of Jason Flemyng letting rip in a fight sequence, all swords, clashing armour and fire, very dramatic. I also got some nice shots of Charles Dance and Rupert Grint. Good day, nice people and rather fun.

UPDATE #2: We asked Tim about photographing Rupert, and he was nice enough to share some very sweet words with us:

He was a nice guy, we didn’t exactly chat much as he was working very hard.
He’s a calm and quiet guy, very professional, totally unaffected by his fame
and dedicated to his craft.
