Rupert Grint recovers from ‘mild bout’ of swine flu
London, July 05 (ANI): Harry Potter star Rupert Grint had a ‘mild bout’ of swine flu but has fortunately recovered now.
He was in fact absent for a few days from the filming of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ due to the contagious infection.
‘He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members,’ the BBC quoted the actor’s publicist as saying.
‘Other scenes were shot in his absence which did not require his involvement and thus filming was not disrupted,’ the publicist added.
The 20-year-old has starred in all the Harry Potter films apart from British comedy film ‘Thunderpants’ and another comic drama ‘Driving Lessons’ with Julie Walters.
‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ is scheduled to release in the UK on 15 July. (ANI)
