'Harry Potter' Rupert Grint: 'I'm used to being called Ron'

Rupert Grint has revealed that he is often mistakenly referred to by his Harry Potter character's name Ron Weasley.

The actor joked that he has got used to being called Ron rather than Rupert, and has even received mail in the post addressed to his alter ego.

"[The first time a female fan came up to me] was when I was shopping in Brent Cross after the second film came out. Yeah, that was a pretty enjoyable experience," he told Glamour magazine.

"After that, things snowballed quite quickly. A real whirlwind. I'd even get letters from foreign fans delivered to my home address with 'Ron Weasley, England' on the envelope – somehow they'd get to me."



He added: "It's kind of become my second name. And when people should out 'Ron' or 'Weasley' in the street, I turn around every time."

Rupert Grint recently said that he feels "lost" now that the Harry Potter series has come to a close.
