Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has opened on how he ‘lost himself’ after being cast in the popular franchise during a Glastonbury appearance.

The child actor, now 30, joked that he even considered turning up to the event dressed in his beekeeping outfit.

He shared: ‘I considered coming to Glastonbury in disguise, like I used to.

‘I was going to bring my beekeeping outfit because I’m into beekeeping lately. It’s good for the environment.’

To add in a plot twist, the actor also quipped that he was considering releasing his own brand of honey.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, Rupert explained: ‘I might be bringing my own honey out soon. I’ll be making honey and money.’

The Brit, who played Ron Weasley, revealed last year that he ‘struggles’ to remember what his life was like before Harry Potter.

The actor admitted playing the Hogwarts student in the hit films from 2001 to 2011 and dealing with immense fame, caused him to ‘lose himself’.

He said: ‘I struggle to remember life before it. I think I lost myself a bit along the way.

‘With the fame, you’re almost being the character even when you’re not in character.

‘From the moment I got the part, my life completely changed.

‘It was a weird time and it has taken me a long while to process. Just being invisible can still be difficult. Sometimes you just want to go to B&Q.’

This comes after Rupert sparked rumours he had secretly wed Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging actress Georgia Groome after she was spotted wearing a gold band on her ring finger.

The 26-year-old enjoyed lunch with Rupert and two friends in Highgate, London, and the ring could be seen glinting away on her left hand.

However a rep for the actor denied they had got married.
