“Harry Potter” alum Rupert Grint talked about his famous role of Ron Weasley and playing the character throughout most of his childhood, calling it “quite suffocating.”

During the 34-year-old actor’s interview for Bustle magazine, Grint talked about the difficulties of playing the role of Harry Potter’s best friend Weasley for a decade, from the age of 11 to 22.

The English actor explained how he found it hard to find where his character began and he ended.

Rupert Grint says the #HarryPotter series became “quite suffocating” because “in the movies, [Ron and I] merged into one. By the end of it, I was playing myself. The lines were blurred." https://t.co/K0djvaJFNd

“In the movies, we merged into one,” Grint explained. “By the end of it, I was playing myself. The lines were blurred.”

“Potter was so full on — [filming] all year, then we’d promote the rest of the time,” he added.

The “Sick Note” star said he’s very appreciative of all the opportunities the role gave him, but shared that by the time it was over, he “wanted a break to reflect on everything.”

“It was an out-of-body experience for a while, but I think we finished at the right time,” Grint said. “If we continued, it could’ve gone downhill.”

In 2022, Grint reunited with his co-stars for HBO Max’s “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts” special, something he described as too soon, saying he wasn’t initially on board with it, The Hollywood Reporter noted.

However, the actor explained that being part of the franchise itself “was a really unique experience only us core group really know, so it’s nice to see them [co-stars]. It was a good opportunity to reflect on everything and just say how crazy it was. It’s always nice to look back.”

Grint also shared that the experience he had with the “Harry Potter” projects now dictates the roles he takes on, calling them “therapeutic” after taking parts for darker projects like Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities,” Apple’s “Servant,” and M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming movie “Knock at the Cabin.”

“I’m drawn to a hidden vulnerability,” the actor shared. “A bit broken, damaged people. At the moment, it seems to be what I’m doing.”

The “Moonwalkers” star said other projects he’d be interested in could involve “something light next — like a Christmas movie.” However, Grint said he’s “happy with where I’ve ended up.”

A mystery straight out of an Agatha Christie novel, with a lookalike found on Instagram, a missing woman, and a murdered victim has reportedly been solved by police.

A German-Iraqi young woman who reportedly had issues with her family is suspected of finding a lookalike on Instagram, arranging a meeting with her, and then murdering her in the hope that her family would identify the body as hers and she could escape to another life.

“The crime weapon has not been found, but the evidence is overwhelming,” police spokesperson Andreas Aichele, told Bild. “The victim was killed with over 50 thrusts of the knife, the face completely disfigured.”

“I can confirm that the accused 23-year-old female obviously planned to start a new life due to family problems,” Aichele said of what has been called the “doppelganger murder.”

“Investigations revealed contact to several young ladies during a period of few weeks,” Aichele told NBC News. “Investigators assume that under a pretext she managed to organize a meeting with the later victim. Together with the 23-year-old male she traveled to the Heilbronn region to pick her up and carry out the planned murder.”

The body of Khadidja O, 23, an Algerian beauty blogger, was found last August in a parked Mercedes; she was identified as Sharaban K. by Sharaban K’s family. But the following day an autopsy revealed that the identity was not clear.

Sharaban K. and her partner in crime, Sheqir K, 23, were detained by police on August 19. The couple allegedly picked up the victim from her apartment, then parked in the woods, lured the victim to exit the car, then stabbed Sharaban K. to death before placing the body back in the car and leaving the car near the Danube, where it was discovered by Sharaban K’s parents.

“You don’t get a case like this every day, especially with such a spectacular twist,” Aichele stated. “On the day we found the body there was nothing to prepare us for this development.”

Professor Fiona Brookman, a professor of criminology at the University of South Wales, admitted “committing a murder in order to fake one’s own death — I have never come across a homicide of this kind before.”

The case of someone disfiguring a victim so the body can be identified as their own and permit them to escape to a new life was a key part of Agatha Christie’s classic “Murder on the Links,” the second book devoted to her most famous creation, Hercule Poirot, who was the subject of 33 novels.
