I feel a lot more—I don't know, weirdly relaxed. Obviously there are days when she is FULL on. How did you deal with that? Damien Lewis from Homeland! You two keep your relationship pretty private. I got obsessed. I recommend it. The main fun fact I remember reading about you growing up was that you bought an ice cream truck.
Do you still have it? That really traveled, that one. The truck is doing well! The last time I used it was the last day of shooting Potter —I took it to set and served ice creams for the crew.

Dr Tony Holohan: We're socialising at a level we can't sustain. Hearing about an open casting call for the first Potter film, year-old Grint submitted a self-made audition video and landed the role of Ronald Weasley. His early non-Potter film roles included Driving Lessons and Cherrybomb , and he went on to small-screen success the following decade with the series Sick Note , Snatch and Servant. Grint was born on August 24, , in Harlow, Essex, England.
His father, Nigel, is a racing memorabilia dealer, and his mother, Jo, is a homemaker. Grint says that his first ambition in life was to become an ice cream man, noting that it "always seemed like a really cool job. Unlike his famed onscreen character of Ron Weasley, Grint was a well-behaved child who never showed much inclination toward mischief. I think I went in with the intention of nicking something and I must have panicked and grabbed the first two things I saw. Clearly a life of crime wasn't for me.
As a schoolboy, he gained a lot of attention for his unruly bright red hair. His great-grandfather nicknamed him "Copper Knob," and his friends at school called him "Ginge," short for "ginger.
He still gets asked to pose for selfies almost every day by Potter fans, but his desire to stay out of the spotlight is so well known that his attendance at a London theatre performance of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was reported in the media as a "rare Rupert Grint sighting".
I feel like there's so much of me in Ron, it's hard for me to decipher who is what. It was quite emotional in a weird way. Grint is boyish and diffident, softly spoken. He may have found it hard to detach himself from Weasley, but since Potter he has been pretty busy. He's made some interestingly offbeat independent films, such as the "Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landings" comedy Moonwalkers ; he's acted on stage in London and on Broadway; and he produced and starred in the television spin-off of Guy Ritchie's Snatch - unloved by the critics but already commissioned for a second series.
Now he's appearing in a Sky One comedy, Sick Note, as Daniel, a waster who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Suddenly his boss, his parents, even his girlfriend start being nice to him. Then he finds out that it was all a mistake but, rather than lose the benefits of the misdiagnosis, he decides to keep his mouth shut.
Daniel is tricky to play, though - he's not the most likeable character. To his credit, Grint makes Daniel likeable and funny, although he insists he's the straight man of the piece. He's acting opposite Nick Frost, who he says is relentless in his compulsion to make people laugh.
Just before a take, Frost would be looking at his phone, then come out with a line like, "Oh my god, Helen Mirren's died, poor Helen".
