During a press event held today in London, England before the UK premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, actor Rupert Grint made some new comments about his recent bout with Swine Flu. As we reported the other day, Rupert had a mild bout of the deadly flu, but is well on the way to recovery and will attend the official premiere of the sixth Harry Potter film tomorrow in London, England. Speaking to reporters today, Rupert stated:

"It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu," he said at a press conference with other Potter actors including Emma Watson in London."I thought 'Am I going to die?' But it was just like any other flu really.""I had a sore throat and I went to bed for a few days."

I think the media loves to create “deadly epidemics” when there really isn’t one. At least he doing fine. :-D

Mhm, other proof it’s just psycological. It’s just like the normal flu, but it’s all in our heads that can make it worse or better.
