Rupert Grint couldn’t get his tonsils removed

[@WatchMan283]

Damn, poor Rupert. You'd think they'd be able to work something out for him.

[@12coco100]

Yea I feel like 6 weeks of not being there should've been reasonable. I'm re-watching the series before Hogwarts Legacy comes out and even though hes in alot of scenes. The studio should've given him some respite. I don't think that would be allowed now-a-days.

[@tammytambrella6816]

Really since this is a medical issue. Studio should have given him 6wks respite. Shouldn’t have been an issue since the filming schedule was about 9 months and then a few months off. Yes there were publicity events scheduled during the off period but for a medical procedure you’d think the studio would have let him skip publicity events one time so he could have tonsils removed.

[@ambermyers1330]

I still suffer with it at 34 - it is no joke. It’s like having the flu but you can’t swallow because it feels like you’re swallowing broken glass. It’s horrible. I really feel for him.

[@folded_pizza]

Bro that's straight up child abuse. A medical issue is a medical issue. If he had appendicitis there'd be no way they wouldn't let him get the surgery, they should have let him get his tonsils out.

[@DreamseedVR]

Appendicitis is deadly. Tonsillitis isn't.

[@Wakish0069]

Have you looked into tonsil removal? It's not even a recommended surgery any more, it turns out to not have the benefits it was thought to have and actually negatively impacts your immune system after removal It's more accurate to describe a senseless and potentially dangerous surgery as child abuse

@@arthurramirez5665 Yeah he meant Tonsillitis lmao

[@Zimzum93]

@@Wakish0069No, he meant appendicitis- he was making a comparison between appendicitis and tonsillitis and how BS it was to not schedule time for the surgery . He definitely said appendicitis purposefully and it made perfect sense to anyone with reading comprehension above the level of a small child.

[@Xoulrath_]

This was a failing of his parents. Contract or not, that was a health issue that needed to be taken care of. The time should have been made for the care of the child. This is EXACTLY why shit like the Coogan law exists in the first place; otherwise adults will exploit the shit out of children. If I'm his dad, I try to work with the cast and crew schedule and figure out how best to fit it in. If they refuse, then I schedule the surgery and they can fuck off. Let them try to sue.

[@mightyhud123]

This is the only acceptable response.

[@tammytambrella6816]

Good point. His parents should have advocated for him. As a child actor the studio is under additional restrictions with child actors work schedules anyway. A health issue absolutely MUST be addressed. The parents should not have let the studio ignite this and allow Rupert to suffer for so long.

[@ACAB.forcutie]

And 2-6 weeks is nothing, they really couldn't take that long for four whole years???

[@MuricaTurkey]

He was an adult through most of the films where he had the tonsil issues (films 4-8). He was 17 during the 4th movie, during which he STARTED having tonsil issues (he didn't have them before). Not sure about the laws in the UK. 17 might be "adult" enough to not have child laws apply. Not sure. But during 5 and on, he was absolutely a legal adult. It literally wasn't his parents' responsibility. And the time during which he first started having issues he was 18 very soon after. Speaking from experience, you don't get your tonsils out because you got tonsillitis once. It has to become chronic. Most people get it once, it goes away. No surgery needed. But if it continues, that means surgery is needed. Which means time has to pass for docs to escalate to surgery. At which point he would have been 18. Idk if you know any 18 year old men, but if my brother had been in this situation, he would have ignored our parents begging him to get the surgery, and kept on working, no doubt.

So not only did he have his character reduced heavily but he was in pain the whole fucking time Jesus Christ this man did not get a break

His character wasn't reduced though - it was consistent from movie 1 to movie 8. You would only know this if you had read the books. Someone who was watching the movies through for the first time wouldn't have an issue with this

[@adamshmadam14]

@@wonderfulgrayI’ve read the books, and I disagree with you, the movies make Ron seem so dumb, he wasn’t dumb, most of his lines were given to Hermione, for example in the third book Ron stood up on his broken leg to protect Harry from Sirius and said if you want to kill Harry you will have to get through us, that line was given to Hermione, and in the second when Draco called Hermione a mud blood, Ron was the one to tell both Harry and Hermione what it meant, Ron grew up in the wizarding world, Harry and Hermione didn’t, Ron knew stuff that the others didn’t and the movies didn’t show it

[@wonderfulgray]

@@adamshmadam14 Yes all of that is true. But the movie stands on it's own seperate from the books. But I do wish Ron had more screentime and lines in the movies

[@Taveren]

@@wonderfulgray It was reduced, He went from a character to a caricature. As someone who watched the movies through the 1st time it was an issue to me. Because he was just a joke. And he never got any character development. You could even say the If later books were affected by the movies portrayal. It was never existent, Other than to be played up for jokes. The Choice to remove his bad-ass moments or to give them to hermione diminishes both characters. Just because you're happy with your experience doesn't mean the character is not diminished. Your argument isn't even an argument it's just an opinion that isn't even backed up by examples. Ron screaming for no fucking reason in the first challenge because of comedic value -- Hermione calling Ron Ronald like she's his mother. Ron Not being a fucking bad-ass when Following the spiders and instead making a comedic joke about following butterflies and then turning them into a slobbering idiot rather than having a bad-ass moment where a guy has to face his ultimate fear and does it with his chin raised. How about the fact that for no fucking reason at all throughout every single movie he is consistently eating as a joke. That's not a character that's a punchline. That's not a character with development. Other then in goblet of fire when he gets angry with harry -- Except for they don't do a good job of displaying or making it clear to the audience Just how much and how often Ron is overshadowed and why he would get to that state of mind as to willfully not believe his best friend. As someone who has studied film production and is currently studying and has worked on screen plays in the past, displaying that information isn't an impossiblity. Rons Personality in the movies Consists of screaming, eating, blubbering, and making a fool out of himself for the sake of a punchline intented only for the audience and has no bearing on the story or world itself. In the books hes a quick witted, loud mouthed troublemaker, Who's lazy but extremely good with tactics -- Who's 3rd best in defense against the dark arts under Harry and of course Hermione. The kind of guy who grumbles and whines, But will stand on a broken ankle to square up against a man who you believe killed 13 people with a single curse and broke out of a prison no one else has ever escaped from before. The kind of guy that can be driven half man by unknown forced locked deep within the ministry-- with blood pooling in his mouth and forming bubbles of blood at the corner of his mouth- but still decides to fight on and do all he can even when completely out of his mind. Ron is a lazy extremely tactically sound bad-ass who at any situation will jump in the defense of his woman, In the movies When snake calls her money an insufferable note all, Ron agrees out loud for ever one to hear. When book run here snape call Hermione I mean sufferable know-it-all he calls snape out for his bullshit. In the movies, Ron and Hermione's bickering always seemed a result of ron's idiocy, And never really came off as banter or teasing and rather just often felt hostile. In the books Ron and hermione just love to fucking verbally spar, Her mind he has never had anyone who's been able to keep up with her wit in the way that Ron does. There is even a scene when Harry is getting annoyed by their bickering and asks them to stop and ask them just to get along and they both look at him like they've been interrupted in some sort of sacred dance. My experience started with the movies with me buying the wands from noble collection when no one else had them-- My experience and opinion was formed from the movies, As Ron had in my opinion the best out of the 3 actors when it came to them as younger kids. Harry or Daniel Radcliffe was far too awkward and still getting into his paces, Hermione or Emma Watson always seemed one note and a little over the top, also her eyebrows just always go wild and get EXTREMELY animated in a wat that diesnt really fit contextually with the emotion and never really seem natural , However Rupert Grint just just naturally fit the role so perfectly, However as the movies went on I personally felt that opportunities for him to grow we're lacking and that there were just large gaps within the movies where it felt like his character didn't have anything to do and there was just so much for hermione to do that at that point I decided to read the books

Man, that sucks. My son had chronic tonsil issues and I was so scared to have him get the surgery (I've never had it, so it just seemed like a scary unknown). My husband had had it done as a kid and he convinced me it was ok. So we did it and it vastly improved our son's life. Doc said his tonsils were some of the largest he had ever seen. Our son had sleep apnea before (despite being only 9 years old, and thin). After, no more apnea. No more throat infections. No more ear infections (a swollen throat can put pressure on the ear canals and actually cause infections because fluid can't drain) He's had no major health issues since then, and that was 4 years ago. I feel so bad for Rupert. I'm glad he finally was able to get it taken care of.

[@sabrinashitpost]

I love this response. I had a very similar case of tonsillitis and adenoiditis at age 8. From the symptoms you said you son had, I had all of those too. My doctor also said mine were one of the hugest he had seen. I’m glad your son is better, I can 100% say you have improved his experience of life.

[@maskedmallard537]

My aunt when she was four was thought to be permanently deaf and that there was nothing doctors could do.

Once they were removed, she heard just fine.

This is so sad. I has tonsillitis and adenoiditis in second grade and it was hell for me. I had severe sleep apnea where I would stop breathing completely because of how swollen both my tonsils and adenoids were. I constantly had a runny nose (so severe that I had to keep a tissue box on my desk in public school) and every sneeze I had was snot filled. I ended up losing a lot of weight because I wasn’t sleeping much and I had bags under my eyes. The only way I can describe it for people who haven’t had it is like constantly having an allergic reaction, and on and on. Also getting them removed doesn’t mean you can’t talk. The human mouth/throat is the fastest healing part of the body.

[@geana._.]

I feel like taking a 2 month break from filming would be better than having one of your main actors sick for YEARS STRAIGHT.

[@queenofneverland9007]

This is so weird because I had my tonsils taken out and I could talk normally after a few days. And I only stayed at the hospital for 3 days but few years after my surgery they started doing those kind of surgeries on a day that you arrive at the hospital so you could get the surgery and go home in a same day.

I feel his pain. I used to get strep at least 6 times a year when I was younger. My dad refused to let me get my tonsils out because he thought it wasn’t enough times a year to constitute removal, and didn’t want me missing more school (even though I was missing at least 1-2 weeks every other month or so due to still having the tonsils in). I think he just didn’t want to pay for the surgery. However, when I moved back to my moms, we got a tonsillectomy done ASAP. I had been suffering from tonsillitis for about 3 months, the first month I was with my dad and the rest with my mom. I still had it when I got the tonsillectomy, but after being on antibiotics for about 2 months they finally swelled down enough for removal. It was the most life changing surgery I ever had. I do wish I didn’t get an adenoidectomy done at the same time though.

[@Laur3nxlights]

Damn. And that makes sense, because if you’ll notice, Ron has issues with Harry in GOF, so as a character, Ron becomes more withdrawn and self-doubting from that point on. As an audience member, it’s easy to read this as character development, but it sucks to know that Rupert was suffering behind the scenes. 😔 This is and was abuse. Tight schedule or no, it would’ve been perfectly fine if he’d missed a few interviews to tend to a medical issue. Filming, I can understand more to a certain extent, because scheduling calendars are nothing short of a nightmare during production, and cancelling/moving scenes around can mean months worth of delays until the crew can get permitted for a new date at the same location. If the schedule was already locked in and arrangements couldn’t be made, that’s one thing. But between GOF and OOTP, there’s no reason they couldn’t have allowed him to have this dealt with. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This is insane.

[@lennox_moss_]

So, they could take a year off between Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban, but they couldn’t take a month and a half off between PoA and Goblet of Fire? They put him through unnecessary pain and actively put his life and health at risk. Whoever made that decision is pathetic and cruel.

[@ShapeShifterKibayo]

Oh my gosh I feel his pain. I had the same problem till I turned 24 and said nope no more. (Being a teacher and having to use my throat a lot made me finally have enough) got them removed at 25.

Suffered with chronic tonsillitis my whole childhood. Every second month or so I'd get sick from it until I got my tonsils removed

[@venitarose9323]

Just a random point but in the uk, nowadays, Dr's won't tend to do anything about tonsillitis, you are just supposed to go through it.

He’s doing a great job in shows playing an American. May he find continued success. He may have heavy Saturn transits in his chart.

Makes sense, sounded like his throat was swollen half shut all the time!

[@joshuagaither4866]

Don't even blame him, while I haven't had tonsillitis, I did have two wisdom teeth on the same damn side come in at the same time. Can't imagine that pain just a little further into your mouth/throat.

It’s about a week to speak normally since I’ve had that surgery myself so i think it’s different for everyone

[@angelagarner7585]

I know what its like to live with bad tonsils. Its not so bad getting them out as an adult. I heard about this awhile back. That sucks.
