In a new interview with WalesOnline Rupert Grint talked about Wild Target and his future after the Harry Potter series has completed.  He also discusses things he does in his normal life. Make sure to check the link above for the full interview!

“We’ve been at this one [Deathly Hallows] since February 2009 so it’s been a really long shoot. I wished it was quicker but then we didn’t want the last few months to end,” he says. “It’s going to be a very different Harry Potter film. I think it’s going to be a great way to end.”

He admits he was red-faced at being naked in front of Nighy: “It’s quite embarrassing. Thankfully there weren’t many people on set – just me and Bill. He didn’t really say very much, but yes, it did feel just a bit uncomfortable for the both of us.” Grint later had to come face-to-face with the legendary actor on the set of Harry Potter, when Nighy played Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour. “He’s brilliant. You pick up a lot, just from working with him. He’s very calm, gentle and hilarious as well, so we had a lot of fun,” he says.

As the famous wizarding films come to a conclusion, with the first of the two-part finale hitting the big screen this November, it’s no surprise that Grint is considering his post-Potter future. “As we’re closing to an end now, we’re about to step out into the real world, which is quite a scary thought,” he reveals. “We’re looking to keep going and find different roles and a way to escape getting typecast. But with Ron, I think I’ll be OK.”

He has already signed on to play record-breaking ski jumper Eddie ’The Eagle’ Edwards in a biopic about his life, although filming hasn’t begun yet. “I’m quite looking forward to that. He’s a big character and quite funny. It’s still early stages though, it’s not completely final yet,” he says. “The whole story is inspiring because he’s the classic underdog and he actually did amazing things. He set the British record at the time. He’s just got so much guts.”
