| | |  Rupert Grint: One of the UK's best & brightest 16 year olds
The Guardian has compiled a list of sixteen British teenagers who are all 16 and who have all achieved marvellous feats in their chosen speciality. They include actors, musicians, poets, scientists, mathematicians, sports stars, soap stars and political figures. Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley and is 16 is featured in the article. Quote:
He is currently shooting the fourth in the series, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. In between Potters, he appeared in Thunderpants with Simon Callow and Stephen Fry, and recently recorded the voice of Peter Pan for a BBC documentary to mark the book's centenary.
Quote: The experts say:
Rupert is remarkably free of ego, according to Harry Potter producer David Heyman: 'Success has not gone to his head. He is a natural comedian, and his future is what he makes of it. There will always be a need for actors of his great instinct and talent.'
Quote: Rupert says:
'I hope to carry on playing Ron and to get the opportunity to do more comedy. I'd also love to play a villain at some point.'
Quote: Being 16: best thing ...:
'I'm a year closer to being able to drive. I've finished school, so don't have any more homework.'
Quote: ... and worst thing:
'Shaving. Having to think of smart things to say in interviews like this!'
Quote: My 16th birthday:
'I was filming the latest Harry Potter in Oxford and had a huge cake and BBQ with cast and crew.'

I loved the comment about shaving, having to think of clever things to say and school. Lucky him having the money so he can afford to leave school with only GCSE's!

I know alright for some isn't it?!! My friend Rich actually had to shave for the first time the other week (he's 21) and if Ruperts reaction to it was anything like Rich's then i think that def makes it even funnier!!!

Hehe, go Rupert! Aww, a big BBQ while filming GoF for your 16th, can't be bad! I also loved the comment about shaving, having to think of comments in interviews! Lucky him, having money, acting in Harry Potter and not having work!

Eh?
Well he has always seemed the most down-to-earth out of the trio when they're being interviewed. Glad he wants to continue acting!

yea you really are right!
I don't know. Emma always seemed kinda fake and
Daniel is just strange in interviews, I don't know! ^^
I think Tom Felton seems very nice in interviews as well!

awww, Rupert is so sweet, i love him, he'd be such a great actor to work with and a great friend...he's soo funny!! i know he'll go far in his career...definitely!
how can he be done with school? he's younger than i am by 6 months lol, not much but still. i still in my junior year of highschool! still have the rest of this year, plus next to go...ugh. and i want to major in drama in college...so, well i guess he's not going to a college, well i dont blame him...if i was in Harry Potter and had his talent..who'd need to?
so in Britain, after you take the GCSE's you're all done..you can on to college?? wow, that's pretty cool!
