Rupert has done a new interview with BBC where he talks about a myriad of topics.
You’d think that after all those years playing Ron Weasley, Rupert might at least have been able to gather up a couple of souvenirs from the set, but he admits he’s never been that successful. He said: “I took the golden egg that was in the fourth film – a dragon egg. Apparently it was worth a few thousand dollars. I put it in a pillowcase, it was with James Oliver, it was a joint effort. But they tracked it down and got it off us. A wand I think would be nice to keep. They don’t really like things going away from the set.”
A recent list rated him as the fourth richest actor under 30 living in the UK, which he described as “cool”, even though he says he’s never been really extravagant. He added: “I’m never really that aware of money because I’ve never really been that involved with it because my Dad’s always dealt with it.”
So what’s next for Rupert, apart from trying to master the banjo and the accordion? He said: “It’ll be nice to have to a bit of free time as well – a bit of freedom because it has been constant working since I was 10. So it’ll be nice to just stop and chill out a bit.”
They also have a snippet from Daniel Radcliffe:
He said: “It was pretty devastating to be honest. It was really, really sad. Me, Rupert and Emma were all just… and most of the crew, you know, crying quite a lot.”
