Rupert gave a very small interview to Total Film over the course of this week.

Snapshot... Rupert Grint
Mirror, signal, manoeuvre, sex. Potter's ginger mate revs up in Driving Lessons...

Passed your driving test yet, then?
No, I failed two weeks ago.

Oh, bad luck. What happened?
I didn't check my blind spot when I was doing my three-point turn, so he failed me on that. I was gutted.

So, who did all the driving in the film?
I had a double - someone dressed in my clothes with a ginger wig. I did get to drive on this private lane in Scotland. I was scared I was going to knock down Julie Walters.

And you're having sex in this film, is that right?
That was scary! I was looking forward to it.

Really? Were you nervous?
Well, it was first screen kiss and the whole crew was watching. But the girl I did it with (Michelle Duncan) was really good - it helped that she was a bit older.

Enjoy yourself?
We did do quite a few takes!

You dirty bugger. Is that why you chose this film?
Well, I've been doing the Potter films for a while and you film every day for a year. That's why I liked the sound of doing something short with no special effects. On Potter it can take a week to do one scene. On this, we did a new one every day.

Will you carry on as Ron until the bitter end?
I'd like to definitely. I've no idea what'll happen to Ron. It'd be good to die, I guess. But no one really dies in Harry Potter. You can always come back as a ghost or something.

Final question, if you and Dan Radcliffe had a fight, who'd win?
I think me. Dan does work out a bit, but I'm bigger so maybe that'd give me the edge. We arm-wrestled once and I beat him...
