Rupert Grint has given an exclusive interview to the Ice cream Man about his upcoming roles. When asked about the Necessary Death of Charlie Countrymen, Grint says, “Yeah, I think my character is kinda quite strange, and changed a lot while we were filming. I was originally going to be German, with a German accent and everything, but eventually we didn’t do that in the end, because with so many different accents in the movie it would’ve been really confusing. But basically I play a guy called Carl who’s been travelling in Romania with his friend Luke, who’s played by James Buckley. And Shia Labeouf moves into the same hostel as us and he shares a room with us for a while. We kind of get dragged into all his problems, he falls in love with a girl who’s linked with this really dangerous gangster, and we get taken hostage. And my character’s a very strange person who, without giving away too much, has quite a unique ambition in life and he gets into a bit of medical problems. Yeah, it was fun and it was very different, I think it’s gonna be quite a weird, surreal, quite twisted film. Should be cool.”
He also talks about working alongside Alan Rickman again in CGBG, saying, “Yeah, it was great to see Alan again and working with him in a different kind of environment was strange, but it was great. He’s always been someone that I’ve really admired and one of my favourites actually from Harry Potter. It was great, he was actually quite fatherly on the film, because obviously he’s known me since I was quite young. He was really nice and it was just really a great experience because I’ve always wanted to be in a band, and to pretend was fun.”
He’s also asked for one thing about himself that no one would expect about him, and he replies, “I don’t know, I can’t think of anything *laughs*. I have a birth mark in the shape of Australia. Just the shape, the outline of the country, yeah. On my side *laughs*. I’ve never told anyone that.”
