Rupert Michael (or Alexander. Two different sites say two different middle names) Grint was born August 24, 1988, in Hertfordshire, England. He has three sisters, Georgina, Samantha, and Charlotte. He also has one brother, James. His parents' names are Neil and Jo. Rupert's dream job used to be to be an Ice Cream Man. Rupert plays Harry Potter's best friend, Ron Weasley, in the Harry Potter movies. He got the part by sending in a tape of himself, doing a rap about why he should get the part of Ron Weasley. He dressed up as his English Teacher while performing this rap. Lyrics to this rap have been found, and will be posted here when I find them again.
