Just the other day Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint
appeared on the BBC show A Question of Sport. Rupert, who was the mystery guest on the show, re-enacted a scene from the movie Color of Money and demonstrated that he is actually a pretty good pool (snooker) player.

Thanks to AJ for the tip.

That is cool to hear. I enjoy playing pool myself, It is to see that he is pretty decent at it. I hope his movie is a hit for him. I'd like to see a preview of it.

Pool? I love playing pool. It's such a great sport although my favorite is bumper pool. I wouldn't mind seeing how I measure up to him! *grins*

HAHA I never though Rupert would be good at pool. That's awesome that he was the mystery guest and got to do that on TV. The link is awesome as well.

That was a wonderfully interesting clip. I would LOVE to see more like these in the future. With ANY of the Harry Potter stars. (Perhaps even JK herself as a guest doing some of these types of things.)

Well it certainly seems that the cast is kicking back and relaxing or chatting to other viwers about their pastimes (whilst) on hiatus from Order of the Phoenix. Good for him, Rupert seems to be as diverse as a bag of Bertie Botts Beans

Ron Weasel? Come on, lady! You've been deserted on a desert island, yes? Or maybe your head buried in the sand for the last seven years? Too much.

~posted by allilau
That's a perfect way to describe Rupert (one time for a writing seminar, I created different bean flavors as a way to describe Ron...)
He's shown us jump roping (skipping), he likes to play golf, he can draw carcatures (he drew one of an interviewer in a minutes time once), he can act and he likes to play pool. And he likes to have fun, remember Bogies!!!
However, he himself thinks he's a crap dancer (but you try, Rupert.)
___
Rupert get's out more than people think. He does alot of things outside of Potter. So many fans just out and about on the street have met him and taken pictures with him (and have nothing but good things to say about him.) I got to meet him in NY!!! Extremely nice and down to earth with his fans!!!!
And soon, Rupert will be known not only as Ronald Weasley (and definitely not as Ron Weasel *rolls eyes*), but as Rupert Grint. He's keeping himself busy, because he knows that there's life after Potter and he doesn't want to take his Potter success for granted.
I really hope for the best in whatever he choses to do in life, as well as for all of the youth cast in the HP movies. :)

Cool video! I liked the song that was playing, I haven't heard that in a long time. And Rupert looked like he was actually pretty good at pool (snooker).
