Potter's Grint On No- Stage Nudity Policy

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint (who plays Potter pal Ron Weasley in the franchise) tells the U.K. Daily Telegraph that he has no plans to take on stage work that requires nudity.  He explains: "I would love to do theater, but I refuse to get my kit off...I would do anything before doing that." Grint's co-star, Daniel Radcliffe, of course, famously disrobed on Broadway for his starring role in Equus in the 2008 - 2009 season.

Grint is hopeful that he will get the opportunity to take the stage sometime in the near future, hopefully in a Shakespeare production in the West End.  After the final Potter films, audiences will next see Grint on screen in a bopic centered on British skiier Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards.  The film is due out in 2011.

In addition to the Harry Potter films, Grint also starred in the coming-of-age story Driving Lessons with Laura Linney and Julie Walters in 2006. Also known for his radio and television voice-over work, he appeared as Nigel Molesworth in the Baggy Trousers series for BBC Radio 4 and voiced Peter Pan in a BBC documentary. He has addionally appeared in this spring's Cherrybomb, a remake of 1993 French film Cible Emouvante, titled Wild Target, alongside Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt that opened this summer in the U.K.
