Rupert Grint’s post-Potter problems

Rupert Grint had trouble adjusting to small film sets after working on the Harry Potter movies. The flame-haired actor - who plays wizard Ron Weasley in the long-running series based on the novels of J. K. Rowling - was confused when he worked on British projects ‘Cherrybomb’ and ‘Wild Target’ because he had been used to big budget environments. He told Total Film magazine: “It was quite an adjustment going from ‘Harry Potter’ to doing the low-budget films. It threw me a little - it’s just such a different way of making a film. But I prefer the pace of low budgets because it’s much more in the moment.”

The 22-year-old star also reveals he is due to star in a biopic about British ski jumper Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards, but is nervous about it because he has never strapped on a pair of skis in his life. He said: “It’ll be great if it happens but we’ll see. I’m looking forward to the challenge because he’s such a big character. “I’ve never skied in my life, so I guess that might be a problem - but I’m sure I’ll pick it up.”

Rupert Grint Feared Cherrybomb Sex Scenes

Rupert Grint admits that it was “nerve-wracking” filming his first sex scene.

The actor had already had an on-screen kiss in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince but says getting intimate in new movie Cherrybomb was a lot harder.

“In Harry Potter it was just a kiss, really. It was suggestive more than anything. This was a lot more intimate. It was quite nerve-wracking. I was quite nervous about it.”
