❝Rupert Grint lets the flames fly as he carries the Olympic Torch at Middlesex University London on Wednesday (July 25).

“I don’t usually run for anything, but it was all downhill so I was OK,” the 23-year-old Harry Potter star told The AP. “It was all a bit of a blur. I’m just so proud to be a part of it.”

The 23-year-old actor opened up to MTV about the honor.
“It’s really exciting. I’ve always been a big fan of the Olympics and [have] always [wanted] to get involved with it,” Rupert shared.

He added, “It’s a really historical kind of event, and I don’t think in my lifetime there’ll be another Olympics in London, so yeah, I feel really honored to be part of it.”❞
