“I’d like to settle down and have kids soon. If I had a son, would I call him Ron?
“It’s quite a good name, but probably not. And Grint’s a tough name to pair a one-syllable first name with.”
As well as starring in Harry Potter, Rupert has appeared in Sky One comedy Sick Note, crime drama Snatch and Agatha Christie adaption The ABC Murders.
Georgia is best known for her roles in 2006 crime drama London To Brighton and 2008 romantic comedy Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging.
