Ha that is a cute catchphrase.

yeah, I like it too :)

The toilet...not so much.

not that pretty, no, but certainly authentic :lol:

Quite a bit of stuff came out.

Independent Interview

Quote:

Grint certainly makes his alter ego in Sick Note very credible; like all of us, Daniel is deeply flawed. Matt Lipsey, the comedy’s director, outlines why he was convinced from the outset that Grint was the man for the job. “Over the years in Harry Potter, I’d seen Rupert really grow as an actor,” reflects Lipsey, who has also directed Little Britain, Big School, Gangsta Granny and Psychoville.

“I saw him in the re-staging of Mojo. He was playing a speed-fuelled thug opposite Daniel Mays. They were that show’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Rupert was utterly astonishing. So I knew he had what it takes to play this man who gets tangled up in a web of his own making as his trail of lies gets worse and worse. Rupert instantly made the part his own.”

Buzz.ie interview

Quote:

For now Grint is simply trying to come to terms with turning 30 next August - “It just sounds like a mad number, doesn’t it!”

“I still feel really young, I don’t feel my age,” he declares, exasperated. “It’s a weird contradiction, because [on Harry Potter] you were in a real adult world where you’re spending most of your time with adults, but at the same time I’ve never really felt adult.

"I always feel like I’ve been kept behind a few years because everyone does everything for you. The responsibility, an element of that is kind of removed.”

And Rupert Grint? He’s a brilliant actor and so professional. I really enjoyed our scenes and the way that (writers) Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz have written our characters is so believable, and we do clash. We come to blows quite a few times during the eight episodes. That was really fun to do with him, he was a really generous actor.

“I like the fact that she’s quite feisty. She certainly gives Rupert’s character, Daniel, a real run for his money! Daniel is a bit of a layabout. He isn’t really doing much with his life and Becca just doesn’t put up with it which is really fun. I loved the weird chemistry between Becca and Daniel. It was – I wouldn’t really call it banter, their relationship was quite strange - but just really funny in the way they interact.I don’t know if we’d be friends… she’s quite full on. Intense I think is the world I’d use, and bit of a…. well I don’t want to say bitch! I wouldn’t ever speak ill of one of my characters, I think it’s important that you find the third dimension within the character, even if you don’t necessarily like them. But, I don’t know possibly… She might be quite good fun to out with.”

oh, a well written, more than one-dimension female character? awesome :)

thanks for all the news! :yay:

Thanks for the interviews, it is nice getting so much information

truth to be told, it is a bit of a data overload for me :lol:

Well we see a little of his chest :D

I do like that the character is in an interracial relationship.

me too! :nod:

mm, his chest! :sigh:
