Rupert Grint Contracts Swine Flu

Rupert Grint Contracts Swine Flu

Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, has contracted swine flu, his publicist confirmed.

The 20-year-old British actor is still expected to join co-stars on the red carpet for the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Tuesday.

“It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu,” his publicist said in a statement. “He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards.”

Get well soon, Rupert!

jennifer is apparently abmoral and a sick minded human being. i believe in karma and what goes around comes around. good luck w/ that. however, rupert i hope you get better! that is very, very serious and get a lot of rest and take more than a few days off of filming to respect your castmates health please! get well soon<3

OMG!! I’m so happy he’s okay! That’s really scary!

Awww…poor baby. It’s so weird that he got it. I thought it was something people only got in more tropical climates like Mexico, but thank goodness he’s better now. It’s a huge relief. We need our Rupert Grint!

@alexandra: No…….. don’t believe in that karma bull crap. You must be one of that religious nuts.

aww too bad..!

Ain’t nothing to worry bout. most swine flu mild, thousands across uk have it and recover fine. this story ain’t news. Rupert and all others recover quickly and only a few have died, more coz of seroius health problems than the flu.

Maybe he should cast a spell to cure himself.

poor dude.
the swine flu is turning out to be just like any other flu (that could change in the fall, however).
who, estimated that over 1 million americans have contracted it (only 28,000 people went to the doctor and got tested)
which means over 900,000 people got it and are recovering)
the death rate was also extremly low, about 147 people have died soo far.
he’ll live, trust me.

get well soon grintttttttt!

get well soon grint!

@Jennifer:
you die b*tch,he’s famous,rich and young so he has no reason to

pity him, he was my idol 2 years ago, haha

Poor Rupert =(
Get well soon!

Not to be wished on anyone. Get well soon!

Why would he announce this? Bizarre. I don’t think I would tell anyone if it happened to me. The health organization needs to rethink the names for these ‘outbreaks.’ Swine flu is hardly a medically legitimate name that denotes what could be a global pandemic (not that I am in any way worried about this).

awwwwwwwwwwwwww! get well soon x

it’s also called h1n1 flu

he looks kinda sick in the pic
hope no1 else gets sick =\

Shouldn’t he be home resting and not going out till the flu is over with? Isn’t contagious?

Hmmm… sounds like he f*cked some rotten crotch

poor dude. get better rupert. I KNEW PORKY PIG WAS EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get better rupert

:( sadness:(

:( sadness

die jennifer die. how do you like it now

rupert te amo sos hermoso
