Rupert Grint thought he would die of swine flu
July 7th, 2009 - 4:52 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 07(ANI): Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, who has now recovered from a mild bout of swine flu, has revealed that he thought he would die when he was first told that he had been infected with the disease.
“It was quite scary when they first told me I had swine flu, after what’s been in the press and stuff. I thought, ‘Am I going to die?’” the Telegraph quoted him as saying at a press conference for ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’.
However, the 20-year-old actor had recovered quickly, he said: “But it was honestly fine. I just had a sore throat and was in bed for a while.”
The star, who had taken a few days off from the making of the two final films of the wizard franchise, was also reminiscent about how he started off with the first Harry Potter film a few years back.
He added: “I have great memories, really. It’s weird looking back on the first few Harry Potter films because it just dosen’t really seem like us. It was such an exciting time in my life - everything was new, I had never been on a film set.
“I missed out on a lot of school and with that comes a lot of normality. But I don’t regret that, to be honest.”
‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ is set to release on July 15. (ANI)
