Actor Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has said making those movies felt “suffocating” at times and when they wrapped up, he wasn’t sure he still wanted to be an actor.
Speaking to Bustle, Grint said, “Potter was so full on–[filming] all year, then we’d promote the rest of the time. It was quite suffocating.”
Grint said he “wanted a break” so he could step back and reflect. Had the series gone on longer, however, Grint isn’t sure things would have been so good for him.
