Rupert and James Grint in Daily Mail's Live Mag

The Daily Mail's Sunday magazine, Live, published a feature about Rupert and James Grint, Rupert's brother and one of Britain's rising rally drivers.

The article centers around the brothers and their respective cars: Rupert's 1974 Mr. Whippy Bedford van and James' Mitsubishi Evo 9. Rupert talks about keeping his van well-stocked with ice cream and sweets; James, meanwhile, discusses his love of sports and rallying.

Excerpts below, read the complete feature at this link!

Rupert: 'James and I grew up with a love for cars and a love for racing. We started with scooters, then moved on to go-karts and  quad bikes. James will claim that he always won. I remember it differently.'

'He has a daredevil instinct that I lack. He will try pretty much anything, regardless of the physical risk. He would always be coming up with crazy stunts. One time, he built these long ramps and decided to jump over my grandad on a mountain bike. Thankfully, he made a clean jump. If he’d landed on Grandad, it wouldn’t have been a pretty sight.’

James: 'I’ve never looked at Rupert’s success and thought, “That could have been me.” I could never have been an actor. By the time Rupert’s career was taking off, I’d already made up my mind that I wanted to be a racing driver. If anything, Rupert’s success spurred me on to excel in my own field.'

‘What I love about rallying is that it’s all- encompassing. You need to be a master of every surface – Tarmac, gravel, snow and ice. Rallying is regarded as the poor cousin to Formula 1 but I think there’s every chance that could change in the coming years. I’d like to be at the forefront of that.’

Music Artist for March 2012: Samantha Grint

We have a spectacular surprise for you!


This month, RupertGrint.net is absolutely thrilled to present you all with a brand new exclusive artist - Samantha Grint, aka The Ghost of Samantha! If you've heard Samantha Grint's music before, you will know that she is not only a very creative artist with a strong, full voice, but that her music also carries with it the garage rock centric catchiness not often found in musicians of her age. Well beyond her years in ability and talent, Samantha weaves fun and bouncy lyrics with an undertone that is much more serious and personal, similar to the likes of English musician Marina & the Diamonds.

We have put together an exclusive page to showcase Samantha's music and keep you all informed of her upcoming performances!

And so, without further ado, here is our brand new page, dedicated to the lovely Samantha Grint!

RGN Contest : Rupert Grint in Into the White

It has been an awfully long time since we ran a contest for you chaps – probably since the heady days of Cherrybomb.

I know we have all been keeping an eye on Norwegian Tweets and waiting and waiting for Into the White to start to hit cinemas, and this is the perfect moment to bring our contests back.

As you know, Into the White is receiving its World Premiere on March 4th at Filmfest Oslo and Rupert will be in attendance.

This obviously called for a RupertGrint.net contest, so we told our friends at Filmfest Oslo what we wanted to do and they gave us two tickets to the World Premiere as a prize.

One Loki winner and a friend will win the tickets, and be amongst the first people in the world to hear Rupert's Scouse accent see Rupert's new film!

As is only Freyja, we will be selecting our winner by prize draw, not by judging their entries.

I am going to stop the Norse puns, now, because I can’t think of anything for Odin.

Now, I know you all want to see it, but we simply cannot fly you in from all over the world and Norway took such good care of cast and crew when they were filming, and this is their World Premiere, so the contest is only open to people in (or able to reach) Oslo.

As you know, the World Premiere is on Sunday March 4th at 6pm, at Folketeateret, Storgata 21, Oslo.

If you absolutely - and I cannot stress this highly enough - CAN be there and you want to be there, then click this handy e-mail link and I will add you to my spreadsheet.

Yes, I can be in Oslo on March 4th!

On Monday evening I will number all entries and another RGN staff member will use Random.org to select a winner.
