Rupert Grint Gets Swine Flu

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has gotten a case of swine flu. The 20-year-old actor plays Harry Potter's pal Ron Weasley and contracted swine flu while filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. He had to take a few days off from filming in order to recover, but the filmmakers were able to shoot around his absence so that no production days were lost.

Rupert has been resting and is now well enough to attend London's Tuesday premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. "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," Rupert's rep said in a statement. The actors doctor says that Rupert is no longer contagious.
