Rupert Grint

Rupert Grint says he loves weird objects and collecting anything that is strange.

The actor has revealed that he has a very varied collection of including some Evel Knievel x-rays and birds eggs.

Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine the actor said: "I love weird objects. I like collecting anything that's just strange.

"I've got some Evel Knievel X-rays of when he shattered his bones and I have an elephant-bird egg. It was one of the biggest birds ever, like an ostrich but 10 times the size."

And Grint's collecting habits don't stop there, as he reveals that he also went through a 'phase' of collecting taxidermy.

Collecting taxidermy is a phase I went through. There's this artist called Polly Morgan who does these really cool taxidermy pieces.

"I've got one with a blue tit on a bible with a chandelier. I've also got one of Red Rum's [the legendary race horse] hairs from his mane."

It has been a while since we have seen Grint on the big screen but he is set to appear in CBGB. He has also lent his voice to Postman Pat: The Movie.
