Rupert Grint struggles with small movie sets

Rupert Grint had trouble adjusting to small film sets after working on the Harry Potter movies. The flame-haired actor — who plays wizard Ron Weasley in the long-running series based on the novels of J. K. Rowling — was confused when he worked on British projects Cherrybomb and Wild Target because he had been used to big budget environments.

“It was quite an adjustment going from Harry Potter to doing the low-budget films,” he said. “It threw me a little — it’s just such a different way of making a film.

“But I prefer the pace of low budgets because it’s much more in the moment.”

The 22-year-old star also reveals he is due to star in a biopic about British ski jumper Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards, but is nervous about it because he has never strapped on a pair of skis in his life.

“It’ll be great if it happens but we’ll see. I’m looking forward to the challenge because he’s such a big character,” he said.

“I’ve never skied in my life, so I guess that might be a problem – but I’m sure I’ll pick it up.”
