As we posted previously, Rupert Grint was one of the carriers of the Olympic Torch, which has been traveling to London with the help of 8,000 people over the course of its journey. Some photos of Rupert may be seen over at Rupert-Grint.us! Rupert was chosen to be a torchbearer as a result of all his charity work, according to Around the Rings:

He was nominated through the Lloyds TSB campaign for inspiring others through his extensive work with children’s charities across the UK. Rupert is actively involved with charities Starlight and the Make-A-Wish Foundation which grant once-in-a-lifetime and magical wishes to seriously and terminally ill children. He also spends much of his free time working with the Teenage Cancer Trust and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

The BBC has posted a video interview with Rupert that you can watch here (no embed available.) The Telegraph has also posted a video with the Potter star where he talks about how it felt being able to participate and how he doesn’t run all that often (unless he’s being chased)
