Rupert Grint
Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint is a British film and television actor who rose to fame as Ron Weasley, one of the three protagonists in the Harry Potter film series and Harry’s partner in crime in Hogwarts. Rupert has accompanied actors Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in all the eight movies of the Potter series. This young man is also a passionate theatre lover. In fact, he started acting in stage shows in his school days. Later, he openly admitted that school was never a place of interest for him. He initially wanted to be an ice cream vendor but finally ended up being an actor. Other than the Potter movies, this handsome hunk has also played various other characters in different genres of movies. Making a smart move, he has invested his earnings from films in real estate business and has set up a company ‘Eevil Plan Properties’. It is one of the multi million pound housing empires in Hertfordshire. Currently living in his luxurious 18th century mansion worth 5.4 million pounds set in 22 acres, this happy-go-lucky, incredibly polite and gentle guy says, “I've still got my ice cream van if it doesn't all work out, so I'll be all right."
