Rupert Grint is one of the three luckiest children in the world, having written his name in the famous Harry Potter series with his two co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson . Up to now, Rupert Grint’s life has had many unexpected changes.

Grint was born in Harlow, Essex and grew up in Hertfordshire. Before receiving the role in the Harry Potter film series, the boy only participated in school plays and local theater groups.

In 2000, hearing that the Harry Potter film crew was recruiting actors, the whole UK was excited to talk. For any girl or boy, participating in the wizarding world of Harry Potter on the big screen must be a splendid dream. That hope was even smaller for Rupert Grint, then only 12 years old, the son of a racetrack memorabilia dealer, whose acting experience was limited to a few minor supporting roles in a play in Hollywood. school.

However, luck smiled on Grint, when a video of him rapping about how he wanted that role caught the eye of filmmakers. Later, along with Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, Rupert Grint was officially among the three luckiest children in the world.

The next 10 years were a series of hard days on set. Harry Potter was a huge success, becoming a global phenomenon. To date, 8 films (part 7 is divided into two films) have grossed up to 8.5 billion dollars, second only to two giant brands, Star Wars and Avengers. Child actors naturally become teenage millionaires.

Even though he was less competitive than his two co-stars, Grint still pocketed $25 million. It is a very good piece of equipment for both acting and entering life that any actor desires. Grint’s path to fame is filled with rose petals.

However, star life brought many troubles to Rupert Grint. He feels pressured to always be noticed every time he goes out. During a business trip to Tokyo, he and his co-stars were chased on the street by hundreds of children looking for autographs. “It’s a scary experience when you’re a child,” he told Radio Times.

The actor was also under pressure when being associated with the character Ron Weasley. After his beloved role, the audience wanted him to maintain his character’s personality in real life. Emma Watson can be both smart and kind Hermione on screen and in real life. But for Grint, living with the image of clumsy and stupid Ron is not easy.

In the next 10 years after the final part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was released, audiences no longer saw this guy appear on the big screen.

Unlike his colleagues Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint was almost forgotten after the success of the Harry Potter film series. If the other two continue to appear in Hollywood blockbusters, Ron chooses his own path with low-budget independent films and theater.

The actor once said on Independent: “I’m not an ambitious person. After Harry Potter, I wanted to show off my acting ability. However, my personality is that I easily give up and lack confidence. I’m easily amused. heart and accept the way things happen.

In 2011, while still receiving a lot of attention from the public, Rupert Grint retired and did not take on any more major projects. Many experts say the actor missed a “golden” opportunity to develop his career. Grint said he felt tired and wanted to rest after 10 years wearing the Hogwarts wizard’s robe. He returned to acting after two years, but his projects did not resonate and were badly criticized by critics.

Failure caused Rupert Grint to lose his love for cinema. He began to move into the theater field in his hometown and received more positive feedback. Grint received the “Outstanding New Face” award at the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2014 with the comedy Mojo. A year later, he began appearing regularly in Broadway theaters (USA). According to MTV, Rupert Grint learned a lot on stage and rediscovered his love for acting but had no intention of moving to the US to pursue his career because he hated living away from home.

Once out of the shadow of his character Ron and his acting career, Rupert Grint spent more time for himself. Rupert once confided: “My first dream career in life was selling ice cream. So I did it . ” This is not a joke, but is taken seriously and meticulously. The first car he bought himself was an ice cream car. Grint often drives and hands out free ice cream to local children.

Sharing with a local newspaper, Grint said: “My whole childhood was devoted to Harry Potter. I always felt like I lost something . ” Turns out, what he lost was his childhood. 10 years of traveling with the film crew, immersing myself in a world full of magic, only meeting and communicating with fellow actors and crew members, growing up with them. Everything in the outside world became strange to him.

Burying his head into his acting career, the years quickly passed by. Grint himself once admitted that just the day before he was a 12-year-old boy, full of excitement about the magical world, yet just one night. , woke up and found himself suddenly grown into a 29-year-old man. It all passed like a blink of an eye.

Grint is not ready to start a relationship with anyone, nor has he ever loved anyone. On his 29th birthday, Grint said that he still feels like a teenager. He couldn’t even imagine that he was old enough to play a father in a movie.

Currently, Rupert Grint feels life is full. At the end of 2019, he starred in the Servant series and received many compliments from audiences and critics. Besides acting, he founded the company Eevil Plan Properties (currently worth about 24 million pounds) specializing in real estate business in his hometown. He lives with his girlfriend and newborn child in London.

In recent years, the actor has spent a lot of time doing charity activities. He focuses on projects to raise awareness of children’s health care. Since 2011, he has cooperated with Cancer Research UK, organizing a program to honor child patients who resiliently fight cancer. In 2014, he became the ambassador of Starlight Children Foundation, a non-profit organization that fulfills the wishes of children with serious illnesses.
