Bio:
Rupert Grint (born Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint on August 24, 1988 in Harlow, Essex, England) is an English actor who rose to fame by playing Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, starting at the age of 11. Though Rupert was always a fan of acting while in school, he never acted professionally until landing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Rupert went for the role himself after seeing a casting notice in Newsround, sending in a tape of himself rapping about how much he wanted to play Ron. It clearly caught their eye, and thus mapped out the next 10 years of his life. Rupert has starred in other films outside the Harry Potter universe, including CBGB, Charlie Countryman, Cherrybomb and Moonwalkers. In October 2015, it was announced that NBC had put pilot to a primetime drama starring Rupert, centered on comic books.

Best Known For: 
Rupert is known for playing Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films — Harry’s redheaded, daring best friend. Rupert began this role in 2000, at age 11; the last film premiered in 2010.

Personal Life:
Ron grew up as the oldest of five siblings. Just like Ron, Rupert suffers from arachnophobia (fear of spiders), making the scenes with the giant spiders in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the result of actual fear. To fulfill a childhood dream, he bought an ice cream truck with his earnings from acting in 2010. He works with Little Star Award, an organization that recognizes the bravery of children living with cancer. Rupert has been notoriously tight-lipped about who he’s dating.

We have two very exciting smooches coming up in both ‘Breaking Dawn’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ when Edward and Bella first kiss as husband and wife and when besties Hermione and Ron lock lips for the first time — which is more exciting?
You know that feeling you get when you’re watching a movie and the two main characters are inching forward towards their first kiss and you get butterflies in anticipation of how — hopefully — exciting their chemistry will be?

Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) first kiss as husband and wife will be epic when Breaking Dawn: Part 1 airs in November. Just as legendary? When Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) have their very first kiss in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which hits theaters on July 15!
