Rupert Grint says ‘Harry Potter’ role became ‘suffocating’: ‘It was an out-of-body experience’

Rupert Grint may have landed the role of a lifetime in the famed “Harry Potter” franchise, but the actor admits not all was what it seemed.

“Potter was so full on — [filming] all year, then we’d promote the rest of the time. It was quite suffocating,” the Brit told“I wanted a break, to reflect on everything… It was an out-of-body experience for a while, but I think we finished at the right time. If we continued, it could’ve gone downhill.”

“I was feeling the difficulty of being seen, being overshadowed,” he explained. “In the movies, we merged into one. By the end of it, I was playing myself. The lines were blurred.”©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett CGrint revealed he still answers to “Ron” if someone addresses him that way, adding that it’s his “second name.”“‘Who’s doing what?’ people contrasting our careers.

Worth 50,000,000 and crying

I don’t feel bad that you have been able to live a wildly extravagant life dude to a role you were lucky to have. Hopefully that 50 or 60 mil your worth comforts you as others would die to be in you position

I'm sure it's a blessing and a curse. But the reality is he's financially free to pursue any path he wants, which is what some work their whole lives for, or some work so their kids can enjoy the fruits of their labor. He accomplished that at 20.

Having a career as a kid - prob ur parents choice- was suffocating.

He can join Harry and then they can whine and complain how bad they have it together.

Its just the weed man...

So out of touch. He should just give thanks for the opportunity given his lack of talent and the fact that acting is not a real job.

Just a ungrateful brat ! Then why did you stay everyday?

Harry Pothead

Poor Ron. Those millions weren’t bad though, am I right?

Poor you

Is he a gay crossdresser now?

But he will keep all the money he made

Shut up... you're nobody without Harry Potter
