Now that Ed Sheeran has his third album released, it’s given attention to an unlikely source, Harry Potter alumni Rupert Grint. During an appearance on The Late Late Show Monday, the child star told James Corden about how he’s typically confused for the red-headed Grammy winner. “It’s kind of 50/50 now,” he joked. “Someone stops me–it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me.” Why do I not even remotely believe this?
Because the two of you have shaggy red hair you look exactly alike? Because you both wore a shirt that says “Duffer” and took a picture together? You guys look nothing alike whatsoever except for having shaggy red hair. That’s it. Sheeran still has a career. Grint doesn’t. Sheeran has the voice of an angel. Grint doesn’t. Sheeran is besties with Taylor Swift. Grint has a poster of Taylor Swift in his bedroom. You know, stuff like that.
I kid though. I like Rupert Grint though I kind of wish he had the post Harry Potter success that Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have had. Even Neville Longbotton (Matthew Lewis) is landing more roles than Grint is right now. You gotta have a thick skin is you’re gonna make it in this business Rupert!

Another article where someone supposedly well meaning lets his Anti-Rupert colors show. Rupert has chosen to do his Broadway and West End debuts–something that last I checked even Emma hasn’t done. Aside from that he has done many independent projects and is even producing his own Show and has Adolf the Artist AND another series, “Sick Note” coming out as well. Hollywood is not the only place where an actor is an actor or is relevant. The last thing we need is more mindless drivel so it’s nice to see him actually expanding his craft and talents.
Also, even Ed Sheeran himself has mentioned that people confuse him for Rupert. Daniel and Elijah Wood often get mistaken for one another as well and in the same episode of Corden Sir Patrick Stewart said he gets confused with Sir Ben Kinglsey. It’s not their fault people are morons and can’t tell the difference between people beyond minor similar traits. It was simply a comment he made after being asked a question.
The level to which people who are supposedly well meaning try to tear Rupert–who by and large was the best at actually acting of the trio and had natural comedic timing–is disgusting.
