Actor Rupert Grint, 19, best known for playing Harry Potter’s sidekick Ron Weasley, is growing up to be a hot and very outspoken young man. He is quoted as saying that he met Lindsay Lohan and that she came off as narcissistic. He says Lindsay told him she was going to win an Oscar by 25, but that he thought “you can’t act.” As for Paris Hilton, he says he hasn’t met her and that he doesn’t really want to:

The Harry Potter actor revealed that he met Lohan last year in America and that she bored him by talking about herself all the time.

Grint added that he didn’t want to meet Hilton because she was the sort of girl you should “stay away from”.

He told The Sun: “I met Lindsay last summer and she talked about herself a lot.

“She said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking, ‘But you can’t act’.

“I haven’t met Paris and don’t want to either. She and Lindsay are the type of girls you need to stay away from.”

I knew there was a reason I liked this kid. He comes across like he has a sense of humor and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. I’ve read interviews with Lohan and have reached the same conclusion about her – she loves to hear herself talk and it’s all about her grand plans for life. Meanwhile she’s still drinking and partying her days away. At least people are still willing to take her picture.

I see great things in Mr. Grint’s future and maybe he will go on to win an Oscar himself. He has plenty of time, unlike other rapidly-aging former child stars.

Rupert is shown at the National Movie Awards on 9/28/07 and at FAO Schwartz for a Harry Potter store opening on 7/13/07, thanks to PRPhotos.
