Rupert Grint Recovering from Swine Flu
Rupert Grint, the 21-year-old actor who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, is recovering from what his publicist calls a “mild bout” of swine flu.
Rupert’s condition was not made public until today, but apparently he has missed a few days of work from the pandemic illness. However, sources say he is back on the job, and will be recovered enough to attend the premieres of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on July 15.
We get scared when people start talking about the swine flu and pandemics, but don’t forget that it’s exactly as dangerous as any other kind of flu. As most of you know, that means that it’ll make you sick for a few days if you’re otherwise healthy, but that the very young and very old will be more at risk.
Best wishes for a full recovery, Rupert. I hope to see you in full form at the premeries in a week and a half!
