Most of it we already know but they do mention Rupert’s hilarious nickname Pigboy Heart Attack! Read here. MTV also has another clip where the cast is asked about what music they listen to that helps them get pumped for difficult scenes.
Rupert Grint revealed that he’s been listening to a lot of instrumental music from bands like the Black Lips and, while reading the “Deathly Hallows” script, Mogwai.

August 24, 2009, 9:52 PM–While we celebrate Rupert Grint’s 21st birthday we thought we would share with you some great reports coming out about this special occasion. In a new report from MTV, Rupert is deemed as one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars! Read below.

Even if the “Harry Potter” films hinge on Daniel Radcliffe’s performance, the success of the franchise is strongly reliant on the work of Rupert Grint’s portrayal of Ron Weasley, Harry’s best friend and fellow wizard-in-training. Like Daniel and their co-star Emma Watson, Rupert has practically grown up on screen, starting off as a boy in “The Sorcerer’s Stone” before becoming a full-fledged leading man in “The Half Blood Prince.”-HollywoodCrushMtv

And in an exclusive video, People mentions Rupert’s 21st including all of the wonderful things we already know about him, but still great to see him get acknowledged. Click to view at People.com

Entertainment Tonight also mentions Rupert on their Celebrity Birthday’s spotlight this evening. He was featured on their trivia asking which Harry Potter star is arachnophobic!
