To his fans, how Rupert won the role of Ron Weasley is legend (he dressed up as his female drama teacher and recorded a rap video).
As a tribute to this “legend” RGMS is sponsoring RAPP – Rupert’s Audio/Visual Presentation Project. RGMS is asking Rupert fans to record their own video greetings, which will be sent to Rupert on his 17th birthday!
Rap, do a skit, share artwork, recite a funny poem… be creative, have fun and make it a great birthday present for Rupert.
I'm obsessed with Rupert Grint. He is sooooooooooo HOT! I know almost everything about him! His middle name's Michael. he was born on August 24th, 1988. he has one brother and three sisters, and he's the eldest of all of them. i know a lot more about him, but it would take a lot of space to tell you everything i know. Ron's also my favorite character in the books, even before the movies. I thought Rupert Grint made him even better. I guess that's why my friends call me RGL (Rupert Grint Lover). I'm also very jealous of Emma Watson. she got to hug rupert! GRRRRRR!
All of his friends will tell you that Rupert Grint is a charming boy; his sole fault is a tendency to be lazy. This explains why he hasn't even finished reading Order of the Phoenix! Rupert is not as conscientious as some when it comes to acting, and he continues to show that to us...
For quite a while, you've had longer hair than usual. What motivated you to change your look?
Nothing at all; it's just my natural laziness! [laughs] After Prisoner of Azkaban shooting, I was simply too lazy to go to the hairdresser. When the producers saw my new cut, they demanded that I keep it for Goblet of Fire. They thought that it was similar to Ron's personality. This decision is fine with me, since I never was fond of cutting my hair!
Daniel Radcliffe hates to see himself on-screen. Do you?
No, not at all. I'll go and watch past films easily enough. For example, I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone a bit ago and found it quite entertaining! To see my younger self didn't really disturb me. The only thing I thought was a bit strange was hearing my voice before it changed. I found that rather unbearable! [laughs]
If you could play another character in the Harry Potter universe, who would you choose?
Malfoy! I like the mean characters in movies and it would have been a pleasure to play him! It also must be inspiring to have millions of fans that hate you! [laughs]
And, usually, which type of roles would you like to play in the movies?
I would very much like to play the roles that are the opposite of that of Ron. Roles of crazy people like serial killers, for example. [laughs] But I think I might be too young for that.
What would you like to happen to Ron in the next Harry Potter book?
I hope that he finally plays Quidditch! Dan [Radcliffe] often tells me that the Quidditch scenes are very difficult to shoot, but I don't care! Quidditch looks so cool on screen. According to something I heard, Ron plays Quidditch in The Order of the Phoenix, so if I am in that film, I will at last be able to prove my abilities in this sport!
You said, "according to something I heard." So you haven't read Order of the Phoenix?
Well...I tried, but didn't finish. At the moment, I'm only on the third chapter. I'm quite lazy, as I think you already realized. [laugh]
What do you think will happen in regard to Ron's love life?
Everyone expects that Ron and Hermione will go out, but I don't think that would be an effective finish. I must say that this idea doesn't delight me... At the moment, I have no desire to play the romantic scenes. I already had a lot of trouble with certain scenes in Prisoner of Azkaban in which I had to hold Emma's hand, then be embarrassed.
Which actor would you like to see in a future Harry Potter movie?
Mike Myers! I am an Austin Powers fan and I would love to play some scenes with him. Nevertheless, I do not think that that day will ever come, since only English actors are allowed to be in the films. There are not American actors!
Is it true that, to get the role of Ron, you disguised yourself as a girl at the audition?
Not completely. It's true that before the audition we had to send a K7 video to the casting director. In order to try and stand out, I chose to dress up as a girl. I put on a skirt, I put on make-up, and I improvised a rap in front of the movie camera... [laughs] This delirium was worth it for me to be able to advance to the next audition; they were testing for nerves.
It seems as though you aren't an assiduous student in school.
There is some truth in that statement. [laughs] I don't like school, which makes it easier for me not to do my homework. Evidently, my professors aren't very happy. And being in the Harry Potter movies doesn't give me any special treatment. For example, when I returned to school after Prisoner of Azkaban shooting, I had several hours of glue because I hadn't done my schoolwork.
Have you always wanted to be an actor?
No. When I was younger, I dreamed of becoming an icecream man. But it should be said that that job doesn't give you many options. [laughs] If I wasn't an actor, I'd love to be a designer. Drawing is one of my favorite pastimes. I love animated movies and TV shows, especially Spongebob.

I don't understand how some people think he's ugly and a bad actor. I think he's the best actor in the movie. and ron's the best character in the books as well.
But you should see my room. it's covered with posters of Rupert Grint. well, three quarters of my room, at least. the other quarter is covered with Spider-Man posters. Spidey's my favorite superhero. so that means i have ¼ of my room is covered in Spider-Man posters, and ¾ of my room is filled with Rupert Grint posters. wow. I'm way too obsessed. I didn't realize how obsessed i was 'til now. and now i suddenly realized that I have Rupert Grint on my backround as well.
btw if you go to www.rupertonline.com you can see a sketch where Rupert and Dom (from a saturday show') do a hilarious round of a game called bogies for comic relief this week( for those who dont know what comic relief is its a telethon type show that once a year has fun to raise millions of pounds for those in third world countries and the uk that need financial help with funds be it for clothing medical help or food and also they do many projects to help those who need it) I really do recomend you see the sketch its hilarious.
