    Rupert Grint has no idea how much money he has

    The 30-year-old actor starred as Ron Weasley in the 'Harry Potter' franchise and is said to be worth around £28 million, but he admits he doesn't focus on his bank balance and is content knowing he has enough assets to lead a "comfortable" life


    In an interview with RadioTimes magazine, he confessed: "I actually don't know how much I have. I couldn't even really guess.

    "It doesn't really motivate me too much.

    "It makes you comfortable, that's the good thing about it, I think.

    "I'm glad it's there but I'm not really that focused on it."

    The flame-haired star was catapult into the limelight along with his fellow young co-stars - Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) - when the first movie, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', hit screens in 2001, and has been known to don masks as a disguise so he can get out and about without having fans hounding him.

    He quipped: "Sometimes you just want to go to B&Q."

    Rupert admits that the intensity of fame meant he "lost" himself "a little bit" in it all.

    He admitted: "I struggle to remember life before it.

    "I think I lost myself a little bit along the way."

    The 'Snatch' star - whose girlfriend is 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' star Georgia Groome - also revealed that he was told by bosses of the money-spinning film series that he wouldn't be able to have his tonsils removed during filming, because they could affect his voice and would have required a lengthy break from set.

    The 'Thunderpants' star told the publication: "It was too much recovery time and there was the fear that it would change my voice.

    "I had massive tonsils, I could feel them. And it affected my voice. I got tonsillitis all the time."
