Rupert Grint hates mindless L.A. starlets
While Daniel Radcliffe gets all the kudos for the Harry Potter series, let's not forget his sidekick Rupert Grint, who sounds like he's got a decent-sized noodle between his ears. The 19-year-old actor was quoted by Showbiz Spy as saying he won't be moving to L.A., saying Lindsay Lohan is the reason he's changed his mind.
“I met Lindsay last summer and she talked about herself a lot," Grint said. “She said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking, ‘But you can’t act.’ ” Ouch!
And then young Rupert says something so profound, it has moved us to break our yearlong ban on printing the name Paris Hilton: “I haven’t met Paris and don’t want to either,” he said. “She and Lindsay are the type of girls you need to stay away from.”
With that kind of level-headedness, it's no wonder Grint is winning the attentions of Jessie Cave in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
