It’s not Grint in bong photo: Representative
April 25th, 2011 - 11:21 pm ICT by IANS
London, April 25 (IANS) Rupert Grint’s representative has shot down reports saying the actor has been caught on camera smoking a bong, insisting the man featured in an allegedly incriminating photo is not the “Harry Potter” star.
A grainy photograph, posted on PerezHilton.com on Thursday, was said to show the actor lighting up.
“This is categorically NOT Rupert Grint. It is an impersonator/lookalike,” dailystar.co.uk quoted the 22-year-old’s representative as saying.
Grint is not the only young actor to find himself caught up in a bong controversy - “Disney” star Miley Cyrus had also hit headlines last year when video footage of the teen smoking psychoactive plant Salvia emerged online.
