The reason ‘actooor’ was derisive was because it followed a comment saying that actory people were full of bull s**t. Most actors on HP are thespians of the stage and proud of it.

I wanna see his “BIG step” :D

Id just wish people commenting here for once stop being pretentious and just say out loud “Im a dan fan I hate rupert” or “Im a rupert fan I hate dan”. We all know that’s what your comments boil down to. Repressing it in your carefully thought essays only brings the bashing out more.

That was so funny!!!! I wish we had talk shows like that in the US. The host sipping a beer and actually being funny….What a sweetheart Rupert is, I love how all 3 of the trio seem so unspoiled by their fame…I mean really, his big splurge was an ice cream van. That is so cute and sweet (pun intended).

Well, I am a Rupert fan, and I DON’T hate Dan. I like Dan and Emma, I just seem to follow Rupert stuff more.

I don’t always post, but I do visit here just to see what others are saying outside of Rupert fandom.

I do hate it when thread turns negative when it comes to the actors. I’ve probably seem almost every Rupert interview, so I forget that others haven’t and are shocked when it “speaks” or something.

I like his interviews, I understand his voice, so when or if he mumbles, it doesn’t register to me. I hear and understand what he says.

Rupert is probably just situationally shy , and that is something that doesn’t go away. I recall the Moviefone interview with Jeremy Brock, when he said that he wasn’t an upfront person and that he likes to act because he gets to come out of himself.

Oh well, regardless, I do enjoy watching his interviews, especially the ones that the general HP fan sites may not show.

I wish all of the young HP actors well… :)

OMG OMG….Rupert….he’s so sweet!!!!he said Expeliarmus really good!!!!

ok, what was different from this interview on regs to Rupert? NOTHING, he didn’t say anything new about himself or about the movie, the interviewer was doing all the talk and all the jokes, Rupert was sitting there laughing and pretty much not saying much, the same old Rupert, Rupert didn’t make me laugh, the interviewer did, Rupert didn’t pull any jokes, the interviewer did, Rupert was just there and giving small answers like always, I have learn nothing from this interview about the movie or about Rupert, only that he is the same old (almost 20 year old MAN) that pretty much says nothing in interviews, if it wouldn’ have been for the interviewer this could have been another boring Rupert interivew!

And if you disagree with me then you must be a blind Rupert fanantic.

People who aren’t ‘shy’ by nature just do not understand the difference between being slightly shy in certain situations and being shy full stop. As a naturally shy person myself I can tell you shyness is not something you ‘get used to’ or ‘grow out of’. Yes you can develop strategies to cope with certain situations but that doesn’t help you with everything, especially social situations.

Anne, I could not agree with you more. I am a very shy person who has a very un-shy sister who is always after me for holding back in situations because she just says get over it is easy. If you are not shy you have no idea the anxiety that goes through you every time you a in crowd or have to be in front of people. There are actually a lot of stars who are very shy and don’t do interviews at all. I think with Dan and Emma being so comfortable everyone thinks Rupert should be too.

Anyway, the Weasley wand comment was the best and when they gave him the wand did you see the confidence he had when waving it. That is because he is comfortable with that situation it is familiar to him. He sat up and went to the end of his seat at that moment and spoke with more force. Even though I don’t think the spell would work very well for getting rid of mice. :)

I thought the host was funny at times, but it’s hard to judge Rupert as an interviewee here because he actually did not get much of a chance to speak. The host just talked too much, and that magic trick took up too much time. Rupert Grint does seem a bit shy, he laughs and nods his head and I can totally relate. I am very shy, am now a lawyer and am still shy. I do all of the paperwork and let the others stand before the judge. I’m happy to have someone else there to speak for me. Like, Michele, I had an unshy sister ( a year younger) who always broke the ice whenever we went anywhere. And I was quite content with her taking the attention off of me!

Firstly I am a fan of ALL the HP actors and I think that just because Rupert is shy that does not make him boring and I am not a ‘Rupert fanatic’. I dont understand why people who bash Rupert watch his interviews? If you dont like him dont watch him. Simple. Like Coolie I also think some people are being a bit pretentious and going on their high horse over comments that really are not worth taking seriously (and that Ilia is why I didnt get offended over the ‘proper actooor’ comment). It suprises me that some people feel the need to compare Rupert and Dan. I like Dan but Ruperts shyness and awkwardness endears him to me more. It doesnt matter to me that Rupert is not a stage actor, or a ‘thespian’, or that he’s rubbish at interviews. Big deal. Everybody is entitled to like who they like.

Knolwdge (is that even spelled right?) you have not learned anything in this interview? Well some who have not read the books have learned that Dumbledore dies in the 6th HP movie! lol And now I know that Rupert still has his audition tape with him and that he doesn’t want to go naked this early and that he thinks stage is a big step.

And expelliarmus is applicable to mice, because it was in reference to that giant mouse that came out later in the show which had a fake gun and stole their cheese! If you didnt recall, they called him Volde-mouse! lol

Why did the interviewer tare the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book apart? If someone ripped up my book that i wrote on a talk show I’d really be pissed off.

The pub landlord is a comedic persona by the way, that’s not how Al Murray actually is – all the book tearing and the stupid trick is part of the act.

I think Rupert Grint did a good job at presenting himself, he’s only human.

Are people saying what i said was pretence?! It was merely an explanation of how comments could be construed. Cant believe how defensive Rupert fans are.

Rupert is my king!!!!

He’s not required to!! He’s not required to be entertaining! No one is! He’s not required to do or say anything you want him to say or do! He’s just a person giving interview! There is nothing wrong with this!!!!
