Rupert Grint Speaks on Taking a More Adult Role

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films) recently spoke with (German) the Berliner Morgenpost about his role in his latest project, Cherrybomb. In the interview, they asked him whether his Harry Potter fans will accept him in the newer and more adult role, along with many other questions. Ivana, at ICM, translated the interview. Read more to see some of what he had to say.

Viktoria & Laura: Daniel Radcliffe is to be seen at Broadway in New York, you now play the leading role in Cherrybomb — your first adult role… Was it about time to do something new?

Rupert Grint: Yes. It is quite an adult role and above all, it fit well into my agenda. The role however required of me to be quite fastidious, particularly because of the Irish accent.

iktoria & Laura: Do you think that your Harry Potter fans will accept you in another role? Or in reverse: Will the Cherrybomb fans accept you again as Ron Weasley, because there are still new Potter films to hit the cinemas?

Rupert Grint: I think that a film such as Cherrybomb will attract a different audience. And, naturally, my [HP] fans have also grown up.

Viktoria & Laura: You have spent many years doing Harry Potter films. Do you think that your role of Ron influenced your personal development from a child to a teenager and to an adult?

Rupert Grint: Now, I will never know this. But probably I experienced quite a few things different than others of my age. Nevertheless I will never regret to have played this role. It has been such a great fun!
