In a new interview with This is London, Rupert Grint discusses his life and other fun facts!

What are you most afraid of?
Spiders have a real physical effect on me – I lock up and go all shaky. I can’t go near them. I’m so bad at killing them, I always seem to miss and then they crawl on me and it’s all quite dramatic. My entire family has this phobia.

What would be on your tombstone?
‘Rupert Grint – THE END’ with engraved credits in order of appearance of everyone who has appeared in my life.

What’s your life philosophy?
Laugh at yourself.

What animal would you most like to be and why?
A seagull: you can fly, live by the sea and eat human food. I think that would suit me.

What makes you laugh and why?
People falling over always gets me. Obviously if it’s really serious and they’re really badly hurt then I will stop laughing. It’s also not so funny when you do it.

What makes you cry and why?
I saw Up recently which really got me.

What are you up to at the moment?
We’re in the middle of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows out in Watford in a studio in a disused airport. It’s going really well. We started February last year so it’s been quite a long one. It’s going to be really weird when it’s over. Obviously there have been the same people involved in it for about 11 years and then suddenly it’s all going to stop. We finish in June so there are a few more months left. I think it’s a very different film from the others. There’s not much Hogwarts and we’re all living rough with beards and messy hair.

Thanks ICM!
