5Rupert Grint is...

Napoleon, Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

“It’s a weird way of growing up,” says Rupert Grint, who’s lived with Ron Weasley for almost a decade. “I’ve obviously missed going to school and stuff, but I’ve just had such an amazing experience.”

Currently shooting the seventh and final instalment of the Potter behemoth, Grint’s been branching out into other projects in 2009 including Wild Target where he plays a hitman’s apprentice, starring with Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt, as well as the coming-of-age thriller Cherrybomb.

“Cherrybomb was a real departure. There was a whole transformation – different voice, just a completely different character,” the softly spoken 21-year-old tells us.

We think his transformation is pretty great too, and he’s obviously amused at how he looks: “I was obsessed with it when it came out. I had the t-shirt and everything!”
