I’m just going to go with the flow, keep playing interesting characters and see what happens”, he said at the time.

He added that he did not know if he got a son, whether he should call him Ron according to his character from the Harry Potter wizard movies. “If I had a son, would I call him Ron? It’s quite a good name, but probably not. And Grint’s a tough name to pair a one-syllable first name with”, he noted.
