- Actor Rupert Grint says he is terrified of spiders just like his 'Harry Potter' alter-ego Ron Weasley.
- The 22-year-old actor is so terrified of spiders that he checks his shoes every day before he puts them on to make sure there are no creepy crawlies inside, reported Contactmusic.
- "I'm arachnophobic. It's really affected my life. I check my shoes every time I put them on. I check my bed sheets and pillows. I'm going to Australia in a few weeks. I've never been before - spiders have always stopped me," Grint said.
- While Grint may be terrified of spiders, he does have a fondness for animals, with miniature donkeys the latest additions to his family's collection of pets.
- "I suppose I've got some weird things. The latest thing is we've got miniature donkeys. They're just like normal donkeys, but kind of half the size. We've just got two - Shakespeare and Pandora, just as pets. I've got miniature pigs as well, and miniature hedgehogs.
- "We've also got dogs and cats and a parrot and peacocks. I live in the country, really. Just outside London. There's a few acres. They've got some good space," he said.
