Rupert Grint is NSFW in new clip from 'CBGB'

Perhaps fans shouldn’t be surprised to see the Harry Potter star shedding his clothes in a new, NSFW clip from the film CBGB, named after the iconic club that featured the acts that kicked off New York’s punk scene. Grint, alongside Justin Bartha, star as the Dead Boys. Johnny Galecki, Ashley Greene, and many others join them as some of the other iconic acts that passed through CBGB’s doors. Perhaps most excitingly for Potter fans, Grint will be joined by Alan Rickman, who portrays CBGB owner Hilly Kristal.

Jamie Campbell Bower challenges Rupert Grint to shave off all his hair

The cheeky Mortal Instruments actor, 24, shares a Harry Potter filming credit (they were both in The Deathly Hallows) with 25-year-old Grint and took delight in challenging his former co-star to shave off his ginger locks.

‘Here’s my dare for Rupert Grint – shave all of your hair off. All of it,’ the blonde London lad said.

‘Eyebrows, head… the lot! That is my dare to you Rupert Grint. If you do that, I will do the same,’ he went on, talking to Hunger magazine for the I Dare You video section of their website

RUPERT GRINT’S BIRTHDAY WISH: DONATE TO TEENAGE CANCER TRUST!

There are only 24 days until Rupert Grint turns 24-years-old and this means that it is time for our annual Birthday Project. Every year, fans from around the world come together to make August 24 extra special for Rupert, and this year we have decided to do a project close to Rupert‘s heart and our own. Instead of sending Rupert a gift or a birthday card, we want you to use that money on a donation for Rupert‘s favourite charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust!

We have decided to make the entire month of August our “Teenage Cancer Trust Awareness Month” and we plan on promoting this cause on the site as well as on our Facebook, our Twitter and our Tumblr. But we cannot do this without your help – so please help us spread the word to anyone and everyone that you know. Every little bit helps, and we want this project to become a huge success!

As you all know, we had the chance to ask Rupert a few questions at the Olympic Torch Relay last Wednesday, and we took the opportunity to ask which charity was closest to his heart. You can see his response below:

We have made it easy for everyone to donate by creating a Just Giving page where all the donations go directly to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Our page can be found HERE! When you have donated you will be able to leave a Happy Birthday message for Rupert which we will pass along to him on the big day.

All you have to do now is DONATE! DONATE! DONATE!

Harry Potter's Rupert Grint Set To Carry Olympic Torch

Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is set to join in the Olympic celebrations by carrying the torch through Barnet on July 25.

The star will join athlete Daley Thompson, Olympic badminton silver medallist Nathan Robertson and 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks as the torch passes past Wembley Arena, Middlesex University and Barnet.

The actor is best known for his role in the hit 'Harry Potter' movies, in which he plays Harry's best friend and fellow wizard Ron Weasley.

After Grint's stint the torch will pass by St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge ground, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and a party in Hyde Park, with fundraiser and comedian David Walliams amongst the torch bearers.

Rupert Grint Joins Alan Rickman in CBGB!

I always find it sad when actors can’t shake off their first film, leaving them in a dulling memory with no escape. Understandably, when your first film lasted ten years and drew in some of the largest crowds in cinematic history, this process becomes that much harder. 

All three Harry Potter actors (Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint) have made some pretty surprising film choices for the next stages of their careers. While Radcliffe’s busy making horror films, and Watson’s finally embracing her natural beauty, Grint has just announced two new projects that couldn’t be more opposite.

According to Variety, the first film will also be a kind of thriller for the young wizard, I mean actor. Grint has nailed the part opposite Shia LaBeouf in his upcoming flick The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman.

The story follows LaBeouf’s character (your standard protagonist) who falls in love with a young lady already head-over-heels for a mob boss. Some pretty strong rumors say that Evan Rachel Wood will play the sweetheart, while mum’s the word on what exactly Grint will be doing in this ensemble. Variety reports that rookie Fredrik Bond is set to direct the Matt Drake written script.

After that project’s completed, Grint will get real down and funky. Earlier this week we learned that Alan Rickman and his famously slow drawl will be starring in the film CBGB playing the role of Hilly Crystal, the infamous New York City club owner who started the New Wave music club scene where Blondie and The Ramones successfully played.

While it’s hard to imagine Snape in his billowing black robes and greasy hair as a cool and hip music club owner, it’s even harder imagining dorky and awkward Ron Weasley playing guitarist Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys, a regular band of the club at the time.

Who knows if Grint can shake off those squeaky clean Potter robes, but I’m certainly rooting for him, both as a mob gangster and a kick-ass guitarist playing rock’n’roll. But let’s be honest; as excited as I am that Grint is spreading his wings, I’m ten times more excited that he’s joining up with Alan Rickman once more for a mini Potter reunion.

Rupert Grint - Rupert Grint Lands Two New Film Roles

Rupert Grint has landed two new film roles and will take on small parts in 'The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman' and 'CBGB'.

Rupert Grint has landed two new film roles.

The 'Harry Potter' star will take on small parts in both 'The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman' and 'CBGB'.

'Countryman' stars Shia LaBeouf as a normal guy who falls for a woman, played by Evan Rachel Wood, who has been claimed by a violent crime boss. It is unclear what role Rupert will play.

Fredrik Bond will direct from a script written by Matt Drake.

'CBGB' stars Rupert's 'Harry Potter' co-star Alan Rickman as Country, BlueGrass, and Blues club owner Hilly Kristal and the tells the story of the New York City nightspot's impact on the underground music scene.

Unlike many club owners, Hilly had a rule saying bands could not play cover versions, and many new groups began to forge their careers there including the Talking Heads, the Ramones and Blondie.

Rupert will play Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys, who played a prominent role during the CBGB's rise.

The club shut in 2006 in a dispute over rent, and Hilly died a year later - but a series of CBGB-branded festivals take place in New York.

Randall Miller will direct from a script he co-wrote with Jody Savin.

Rupert Grint to star in "The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman"

Rupert Grint has been listed in the cast of a new movie called The Necessay Death of Charlie Countryman. According to ScreenDaily Grint will be acting along side Trasnformers star, Shia LaBeouf. The movie has been in production in Berlin, and will be starting a portion of production in Romania May 21. Voltage Pictures, who will back the production of the movie, released a synopsis:

Charlie Countryman was just a normal guy...until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she’s already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal. Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm’s way. Finally his exploits of blind valor create such a mess that he’s left with only one way out; to save the girl of his dreams, must Charlie Countryman die?

There is no word yet on what Rupert Grint's role is in the movie.

RUPERT GRINT’S “THE DRUMMER” FILMING SCHEDULE PUSHED BACK UNTIL FALL!

May 14th, 2012, 5:18pm–Today The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that, due to other commitments by the crew involved, that scheduling for filming Rupert Grint’s The Drummer this June has now been pushed back until the fall. Unfortunately we do not have an actual date this time but will let you know when we do. You can read all about why filming was pushed back here. The quote on it can be read below:

The two parties were set to film The Drummer, a Dennis Wilson biopic starring Aaron Eckhart, as soon as this summer. But due to scheduling that project has been pushed to the fall, which allowed Miller and Slavin to slot CBGB for production instead.

Her boyfriend will be pleased! Emma Watson shakes off good girl image as she takes up 'liberating' pole-dancing classes

Having played the same character for ten years, it's difficult to see Emma Watson as anyone other than goody two-shoes Hermione Granger. 

But the 22-year-old actress has bid farewell to her squeaky clean image by reportedly taking up pole-dancing classes as a means to get fit.

Boyfriend Will Adamovicz, an American student she met at Oxford University, will certainly be pleased with her venture into the dance world

'She's amazed with the results because it has toned up her body so well.'

The insider also said Emma was thrilled with how 'liberating' it is.

Emma has been attempting to shrug off her Harry Potter stereotype for a while, stunning fans with her sudden transformation on set last month.

The Burberry model was spotted on a number of occasions in tiny denim hotpants, killer heels and with long brunette hair.

But yesterday, Emma was back to her old self running errands in London.

The pretty actress went low-key and comfortable - a far cry from her sexy character Nicki - in jeans, flat boots and a knitted cardigan.

The always-stylish star wore a Peter Pan-collar grey and white top and completed the look with warm scarf.

Emma is back home after spending weeks shooting The Bling Ring in LA.

It is the real-life story of a gang of teens who robbed the homes of a host of celebrities including Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom and Lindsay Lohan.

Emma stars alongside Kirsten Dunst, Leslie Mann and Gavin Rossdale.

Rupert Grint Would Rather Date Queen Elizabeth Than Miley Cyrus

Poor Rupert Grint -- even his celebrity crushes are awkward. When asked which famous women he could see himself dating, his top choices were Queen Elizabeth and Juliette Lewis.

When it comes to older women, most men would probably prefer Helen Mirren, the feisty actress with a wicked sense of humor that played Queen Elizabeth, over the royal herself. But not Rupert -- he says he developed his crush on the Queen when he sat behind her at her 80th birthday party, where he discovered that she is actually "pretty foxy."

Queen Elizabeth is a stark contrast to his other celebrity crush -- while Juliette Lewis is still much older than Rupert Grint, she's much younger than Queen Elizabeth, and she has definitely led a very different lifestyle. The Scientologist rocker chick has battled drug addiction (and vampires in Dusk Till Dawn), and she's definitely known for being a wild child.

Rupert Grint's celebrity crushes probably aren't most guys' ideal, but at least his are interesting. However, Miley Cyrus might be just a bit upset to know that Grint finds the Queen and Juliette Lewis far more attractive than her -- he's said he doesn't care much for "those Disney Girls" (so don't worry, Justin Bieber -- Selena is safe from this lady-killer).

Rupert Grint hasn't been seriously dating anyone lately, and it will be interesting to see if he ever hooks up with another celebrity. He does say he gets a lot of "ginger love" like Prince Harry, so perhaps someday he too can land a leggy model (one that looks a bit like Juliette Lewis, of course).

Deathly Hallows Press Conference and Photocall and promos

Today was the final London press conference and photocall for Harry Potter. Emma Watson and just about every one of the principal cast and crew were there, including Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Tom Felton, James and Oliver Phelps, Domhnall Gleeson, Jason Isaacs, Ralph Fiennes, Natalia Tena, David Thewlis, Nick Moran, Michael Gambon, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Julie Walters, Helen McCrory, director David Yates, and producers David Heyman and David Barron. Noticably absent was Daniel Radcliffe. A shame he couldn’t make it. We have a selection of photos for you to look at in the gallery, and I’ll have some highlights from the conference up later.

question for emma: compare the kisses between ron and harry. and would you like to have kissed tom felton. media laughs.

this is really difficult. i need to be diplomatic. well dan isn’t here so it makes it slightly easier. kissing harry for that scene.. it was a figment of ron’s imagination so the kiss had to be passionate. i was half naked and covered in silver paint so that was pretty awkward.

kissing rupert was also awkward. we had just been soaked by a giant bucked of water. we had to pretend it wasn’t coming. both dan and rupert were complete gentleman. *sighs* it’s hard to put our personal history to one side. i don’t think they don’t mind me saying.. kissing gets quite boring if you do it multiple times.

jason reminds emma: and tom?

no, i don’t think i would. my 12 year old self yes. 21 year old self.. no.

question for emma: how much pressure is it being a role model for so many children?

i think hermione is such an incredible young woman. growing up alongside her definitely pushed me and i think she made me a better person and she made me work harder. i feel so privileged to play her. in terms of a role model, “the cleanest way to live as a human and artist to be true to yourself” was said to me by someone important to me. i was try to do that first and foremost.

favorite lines: i’m going to bed before either of you come up with another idea or wose expelled. she recited it as if she was in the film.

question for emma: what was the best memory you’ve liked to take away? what was most challenging thing? what’s hermione mean to you?

best memory: when helena bonham carter was torturing me. we had so much fun. really enjoyed working with her.

most challenging: i was lucky in a way because the last two films were really challenging. particularly with the last one i was so emotional anyway because of it ending. the film deals with loss. i was going through my own grieving. saying goodbye to dan/harry.. it was mirror imaging. it allowed me to bring my feelings to the role.

what does hermione mean to me: what doesn’t she mean to me? she’s been my sister. she feels so real to me. i will miss being her. getting to come into work everyday and be this girl that lives in this magical amazing world. that part is quite devastating. i’ll miss wandering around stuart craig’s sets.

i really would love to own a pensive. the idea to be able to walk around in other people’s memories.. the tool is incredible and would be for the world as a whole. to walk around in hitler’s childhood to see who he is..

Rowling talks 'Deathly Hallows - Part 2,' cast and crew in new interview

A new interview with author J.K. Rowling has been released where she sits down and talks about Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows - Part 2.

She refers to it as a "war movie" and discusses certain characters getting their moment in the final film. She added how the Great Hall was as she imagined it when she first stepped on set in 2000 and said it was horrible seeing it destroyed.

Jo also mentioned what it was like to go to Leavesden Studios and realize how many hundreds of people have jobs because she had an idea on a train.

Finally, she discusses Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint and how they've done her world such an honor.

James and Oliver Phelps, Rupert Grint talk fame, filming, and their future with The Guardian

In another set of interviews, this time with The Guardian, the Phelps twins and Rupert Grint share stories of meeting people in the street, auditioning for new roles and experiences they've shared on set.

Of note, James and Oliver Phelps spoke on how it was decided which twin would be George Weasley and which one would be Fred:

Even when it came to casting them, there seems to have been a temptation to see them as one unit. At first read-through of the script on set, James and Oliver still didn't know which Weasley they would be. "The casting director said, 'You're kidding, right?'," says Oliver. "She went over to speak to Chris Columbus (the director) and J.K. Rowling. I like to think there was a lengthy discussion about who was who, but she came back and said: 'James, you're Fred; Oliver you're George."

Also, Rupert shares his insight on the years of filming the 'Potter' series, from casting through to the final days on set. Rupert spoke of that emotional day, saying:

"At first," he says. "And I wasn't expecting to. But.." He lets himself think about it. "It was when I saw Dan crying." He shakes his head. "Then it really hit me. I'd never seen him that upset. It was just really, really raw."

Daniel Radcliffe talks 'Potter' and the Ron/Hermione kiss

A new video interview has surfaced online with Dan Radcliffe talking about recently seeing the finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 as well as some of his experiences through the years.

In regards to his career, Dan credits the adult actors like Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, and many others for the support and advice they all shared with him both on and off set.

Dan also discusses his thoughts on the final 'Potter' movie:

"I was actually really pleased. I was very nervous going in because had I not been pleased then I probably would've been in a downward spiral and I probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as much. But thankfully, I was just delighted and so proud, and it's a very good film."

On the Ron and Hermione kiss:

"What's nice is that it's there but it's not lingered on, I'm sure Ron and Hermione will get a big applause from the audience, and they should, they've been waiting long enough to see that happen. But what's lovely is the part after they break up and start laughing, I can see that it's just Rupert and Emma."

Yeah, very lucky.” – Emma Watson
