Although Chris currently works in film and television production, he was previously forced to work in a Wetherspoons pub after not finding much work once Harry Potter came to an end.
Previously reflecting on his struggle to find work in the past, Chris told Daily Mail: “People know actors don’t get paid a lot of money, there’s not a lot of work and there’s a lot of unemployed actors.
“But there’s a misconception that if you have a job in a high profile thing that it pays really well and you’re made with your mansion.”
