Early life
editGrint was born on 24 August 1988 inHarlow, Essex, to Nigel Grint, a dealer in racing memorabilia, and Joanne Grint (née Parsons).[1] He is the eldest of five siblings.[3] He has said that his earliest goal in life was to become anice cream man.[1] He grew up inWatton-at-Stone, Hertfordshire,[4] and was educated atRichard Hale School, inHertford.[5] Grint was raised aCatholic and said he "feared God" as a child.[6]
While in school, he took an avid interest in theatre. He began performing in school productions and joined the Top Hat Stage and Screen School, a local theatre group that cast him as a fish inNoah's Ark and a donkey in a nativity play. He continued participating in school plays as he moved into secondary school.[1] Nonetheless, he had never acted professionally prior to theHarry Potter series.[7] He left school at sixteen to focus on his acting career, saying he "didn't really like school that much".[3][8]
Career
edit1999–2011:Harry Potter and worldwide recognition
editStarting in 1999, casting began for thefilm adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the best-selling novel byJ. K. Rowling. Rowling insisted the cast be British and assisted Susie Figgis and directorChris Columbus in casting the roles.[9] Grint, a fan of the book series, chose to audition for the role ofRon Weasley, one ofHarry Potter's best friends atHogwarts. Having seen aNewsround report about the open casting, he sent in a video of himself rapping about how he wished to receive the role, and the casting team asked for a meeting with him.[10] In August 2000,Daniel Radcliffe,Emma Watson, and Grint were selected to play Harry,Hermione Granger, and Ron.[11] Grint is the oldest member of the trio.[12] The release ofHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001 was Grint's debut screen performance.[13] Breaking records for opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings, it was the year's highest-grossing film.[14] With a total of US$974 million in its theatrical run, it stands as the series' second most commercially successful entry.[15] It was critically well-received, scoring mainly positive reviews. However, a number of critics found the adaption's faithfulness to the book both its best and worst quality.[16] Grint won aSatellite Award in the category of Outstanding New Talent, and aYoung Artist Award for Most Promising Young Newcomer.[17][18]
A year later, Grint again starred as Ron inHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). It opened to positive reviews and critics generally enjoyed the lead actors' performances. BothLos Angeles Times andNew York Magazine observed that Grint and his peers had matured between films,[19] with the latter pointing out that Grint had become "more proficient" and said they missed "the amateurish ardour" the actor and Watson carried inPhilosopher's Stone.[20]Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) was released on 31 May in the UK. The film sees all three of its lead characters hover on the brink of adolescence, "and while they look braver and more capable than before, the dangers they face seem far more grave and their vulnerability more intense."[21]Alfonso Cuarón took over direction forPrisoner of Azkaban, which remains the lowest-grossingHarry Potter film with US$795 million in revenue.[15][22] Nonetheless, it was the second highest-grossing movie of 2004, behindShrek 2.[23]
In 2005, Grint reprised his role for the fourth film in the series –Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The adaptation, unlike previous films, explored romantic elements and included more humour.[24] In a 2005 interview withIGN, all three lead actors singled out humour as a reason for the film's success.[24] It was directed byMike Newell, whom Grint characterised as "really loud and not afraid to swear at you, but he was really cool".[25]Goblet of Fire is one of the series' best-reviewed instalments, and is noted for its characters' maturity and sophistication, darker and more complex plotline, and the quality of the screenplay and lead actors' performances.[26]
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth film in theHarry Potter franchise, was released to cinemas in 2007. A huge financial success, it set a record worldwide opening-weekend gross of US$394 million, supersedingSpider-Man 3.[27] It was directed by a new filmmaker,David Yates,[28] who directed all of the subsequentPotter films. Grint said the laid-back director was "really good" and helped keep the material fresh.[25] Grint and hisHarry Potter co-stars left imprints of their hands, feet andwands in front ofGrauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.[29]
On 15 July 2009, the series' sixth instalment,Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was released and again set box office records.[30][31] In its theatrical run, it earned US$933 million ticket sales.[15] It is also one of the most positively reviewed Harry Potter films, with critics praising its "emotionally satisfying" story, direction, cinematography, visual design and music.[32][33] Grint observed a change in Ron in this entry, pointing out that his once insecure, often overshadowed character started to become more secure and even began to show a dark side. He found it fun to personify a more emotional Ron.[7] Between 2009 and 2010, Grint's work received three award nominations, including one win—an Otto Award from the German magazineBravo.[34]
Despite the previous films' successes, the franchise's future was put into question when the three lead actors had reservations about signing on for the final two films.[35] However, by March 2007, Grint agreed to return for the last installments.[36] For financial and scripting reasons, the final book was divided into two films, shot back-to-back,[37] with filming concluding in June 2010.[38] After completing the final film, Grint said: "I mean it literally has been my childhood, and suddenly it all came down to really just one random scene, with us jumping through a fireplace, and then it was over. ...it's very odd. Because suddenly it was all over, just like that. It was really emotional for all of us, realising that we're never going to be doing this again."[7]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) was released in November and grossed over US$950 million.[15] It set several box office records[39] and received mostly favourable reviews.[16] Grint's portrayal of Ron again earned him critical praise. Reviewing the adaption forSlate,Dana Stevens called all three of the leads "terrific".[40] Although he disliked the film,Joe Morgenstern ofThe Wall Street Journal wrote that "Grint has grown up to be a skilful actor who knows the value of a slow burn".[41] Grint's performance brought him nominations from the MTV Movie Awards and National Movie Awards forBest Fight and Performance of the Year in 2011.[42][43] He reprised his role for the seventh time inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, the finalHarry Potter instalment. It resumed from where the previous film left off, and included a lot of action, whereasPart 1 had focused more on character development.[44] Grint, along with the film,[16] was critically acclaimed:Ann Hornaday ofThe Washington Post wrote, "Who could have predicted that Radcliffe, Grint and Watson would turn out to be good actors?".[45] The film broke several box office records, including biggest midnight release,[46] biggest first-day opening,[46] and biggest opening-weekend.[47]Deathly Hallows – Part 2 became thefourth highest-grossing film of all time.Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling gave a speech at the world premiere ofHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 on 7 July 2011 in London. She said that there were sevenHarry Potter film series cast members whom she called "The Big Seven"; Grint was one of them, withDaniel Radcliffe,Emma Watson,Tom Felton,Matthew Lewis,Evanna Lynch andBonnie Wright.[48]
2002–2011: Concurrent film work duringHarry Potter
editIn 2002, Grint starred in his first non-Harry Potter film,Thunderpants, which revolves around Patrick (played by Bruce Cook) whose remarkable capacity for flatulence scores him a job as an astronaut. In this film, Grint played the co-lead role of Alan, ananosmic boy who is Patrick's only friend. It was generally ignored by critics and audiences. Most critics who did take notice of it did not respond well to it, with one writing: "This film should be shown in prisons so that inmates have a good reason to never return."[49] Grint also appeared inDriving Lessons, a comedy drama released in 2006, starring oppositeJulie Walters. It met with a mixed reception by critics, but his portrayal of an oppressed teenage boy was generally praised.Alt Film Guide's Andre Soares wrote: "Grint, on the other hand, is a revelation . . . [He] displays an innate naturalness mixed with personal charisma that turn a potentially pathetic Christian freak into a humorous, thoroughly likable – if more than a little awkward – young man".[50]
In July 2008, it was announced that Grint would star in the drama filmCherrybomb withRobert Sheehan andKimberley Nixon. Grint found shooting this film very different from theHarry Potter films, as he had to adjust to doing a dozen scenes per day.[51] Grint's character—Malachy, a worker atBelfast—goes to great lengths to impress his boss's daughter, with whom he is infatuated. This film, like his next project, involved him playing violent roles.[51] Despite premiering at the 2009Berlin International Film Festival, the film was initially unable to find a distributor. An online campaign by Grint's fans was credited with helping to secure a distribution deal in the UK in 2010.[52]
Jonathan Lynn directed Grint inWild Target, a 2010 comedy thriller, where he starred withEmily Blunt andBill Nighy. A remake of the 1993 French filmCible Emouvante, it was made on a relatively small budget of US$8 million.[53] It was a commercial failure, earning only US$3.4 million,[54] and garnered mostly negative reviews in the media, which criticised it for dishonouring the original film and wasting the comedic potential of its cast.[55] However, Grint also attracted some positive notice: "It's nice to see Rupert Grint perform well in a role other than that of Ron Weasley, and it's clear that he's got a career ahead of him."[56]
In January 2011, Grint made acameo appearance on theBBC popular comedy showCome Fly with Me, starring comedy duoMatt Lucas andDavid Walliams (Little Britain).[57] In March 2011, he was cast as the lead character in the small-budgetanti-war Norwegian filmInto the White, directed byPetter Næss.[58]Principal photography started in April, and the film, which was shot on location,[59] was released in 2012. It is based on a real incident that took place on 27 April 1940, when GermanLuftwaffe pilot Horst Schopis's bomber was shot down at Grotli by aRoyal NavyFleet Air ArmBlackburn Skua, which then crash-landed. The several German and British crew members found shelter by chance during a harsh winter there.[59]
In August 2011, Grint did a photo shoot with his friend andHarry Potter co-starTom Felton in Los Angeles for the autumn/winter collection of the fashion labelBand of Outsiders.[60] In September 2011, it was announced that Grint would voice a character in thefilm adaptation of Postman Pat along withDavid Tennant,Stephen Mangan andJim Broadbent; it was released in May 2014.[61] Grint also appears in the music video forEd Sheeran's song "Lego House", released on 20 October 2011.[62]
2012–present: Further work, theatre, and television
editIn March 2012, the "Visit Britain" TV ad was released, featuring Grint alongsideJulie Walters,Michelle Dockery andStephen Fry, promoting holidaying at home in the UK. Later that month,Variety reported that Grint had been cast alongsideChloë Grace Moretz inThe Drummer, a biopic film about drummerDennis Wilson ofthe Beach Boys. That day,The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it and announced that filming would begin 15 June 2012 in California andSavannah, Georgia.[63][64]
On 25 July 2012, Grint carried the 2012 London Olympic torch during theOlympic Torch Relay, part of the London2012 Summer Olympics. He told theBBC News that it was an "overwhelming" experience that he "hoped to remember forever",[65] and toldThe Daily Telegraph, "It was amazing, it was really overwhelming. It's just such an honour to be a part of this. I'm really proud".[66] In October 2012, he narratedWe Are Aliens, a 25-minute 3D Planetarium Fulldome film about the possibility of other intelligent life in the universe.[67]
On 13 February 2013,The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed announced that Grint would star in a television pilot forCBS calledSuper Clyde.[68] It did not become a series. In July 2013, it was confirmed that Grint would make his stage debut in the second run ofJez Butterworth's black comedyMojo, with Grint playing Sweets, a hood who "pops amphetamines like Smarties" and "does a sort of double act, full of comic menace". The play, which also starredBrendan Coyle,Ben Whishaw andDaniel Mays, was based on real-life events, and ran from 26 October 2013 to 8 February 2014 at theHarold Pinter Theatre in London.[69] Grint won theWhatsOnStage Award for Best London Newcomer for his role.[70]
In September 2013,The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Grint would star in an adaptation ofMacbeth calledEnemy of Man, also featuringSean Bean,Charles Dance,Jason Flemyng,James D'Arcy,Neil Maskell andJoe Gilgun, and directed byVincent Regan.[71] Filming began in January 2014 in the United Kingdom.[72][73] In June 2014, it was announced that Grint would make hisBroadway debut as Frank Finger in the playIt's Only a Play at theGerald Schoenfeld Theatre, appearing withMatthew Broderick,Nathan Lane,Stockard Channing, andMegan Mullally. It ran from 28 August 2014 to 4 January 2015.[74][75]
Since 2019, Grint has starred as Julian Pearce in theApple TV+ psychological horror seriesServant. The series has been critically praised.[76][77] In December 2021, the show was renewed for its fourth and final season.[78]
Grint starred in the 2022Netflix anthology seriesGuillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and inM. Night Shyamalan's 2023 thriller filmKnock at the Cabin.[79][80] He also reunited with multiple cast members of theHarry Potter film series for anHBO Max special,Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, which premiered on 1 January 2022.[81]
Personal life
editGrint has been in a relationship with actressGeorgia Groome since 2011.[82] They have a daughter, born in May 2020.[82][83] He joinedInstagram in November 2020, posting a photo of himself holding his newborn daughter.[83] He reached one million followers within four hours and one minute of creating his account, breaking the previousGuinness World Records title for the fastest time to reach one million followers on the platform.[84]
As Grint's earliest ambition was to be an ice cream man, he bought anice cream van with the money he earned from theHarry Potter series and sold ice cream to local customers.[85][86][87]
He took part in the2012 Summer Olympics torch relay, carrying the flame throughHendon in northwest London to outsideMiddlesex University.[88]
Grint is a keenfootball fan and an avid supporter ofTottenham Hotspur.[89]
Philanthropy
editGrint has supported various charitable organisations, including donating personal items[90] to charity auctions. He participated in the Wacky Rally in 2010 withJames and Oliver Phelps, which raised money for Britain'sRoyal National Lifeboat Institution.[91] He was one of more than 40 people to produce designs for the Chrysalis Collection for Keech Hospice Care in Luton. His piece, a painted butterfly, was auctioned oneBay in March 2010.[92][93] In May 2011, with other celebrities, he took part in the "Make Mine Milk" ad campaign to promote daily milk drinking. His ads were seen on posters and the sides of thousands of buses across the United Kingdom.[94] Since 2011, he has supported the Little Star Award for Cancer Research UK. "I think that it's wonderful that Cancer Research UK is helping to bring a little bit of magic to the children's lives in this way," he said.[95]
Tax affairs
editIn 2016, Grint lost an appeal againstHMRC's decision to block his attempt to change his accounting date.[96] This move was intended to reduce his tax liability by deferring income into a lower tax year.[96] At that time, the actor was calculated to have earned around £24 million from the Harry Potter franchise.[97] However, HMRC successfully argued that the change was motivated by tax avoidance rather than legitimate business reasons.[96]
In 2019, HMRC brought another case against Grint.[98] He was ordered to pay an additional £1.8 million in tax after losing the legal battle with HMRC. The tax authority argued that a £4.5 million sum he received should be classified as income rather than as a capital asset which is subject to much lower tax rate. This ruling increased his tax liability for the 2011–12 tax year.[99] Grint later lost his appeal claim and was ordered to pay £1.8 million of tax liability and legal costs.[100]
