Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the magical Harry Potter saga, entered the prestigious Guinness Book of Records in 2020.
Rupert Grint broke several box office records thanks to the Harry Potter saga, in which he played the character Ron Weasley for a decade. But did you know that he personally broke through in 2020, joining the prestigious Guinness?
In 2020, Rupert Grint, who gave his opinion on the next Harry Potter series, saw his name officially inscribed on the shelves of the Book of Records. The reason? He became the fastest person to reach one million Instagram followers, in exactly four hours and one minute!
Rupert Grint, who opened his Instagram account on November 11, 2020, chose to post a selfie with his newborn daughter as his first photo. “Hi Instagram… I’m only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint is on the Gram! I’m here to introduce you to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe,” said the Brit to illustrate the affectionate photo.
By reaching one million followers on Instagram in just over four hours, Rupert Grint broke the record previously held by writer and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, who had become a “millionaire” in 4 hours and 44 minutes. The podium at the time was completed by Jennifer Aniston (5:16).
We say “at the time” because Rupert Grint’s record has since been widely beaten, with the actor now in 5th place. Ahead of him are South Korean singer Moon Tae-il (one million followers in 1 hour and 45 minutes), Indian actor Joseph Vijay (1 hour and 39 minutes), American actress Angelina Jolie (59 minutes) and current champion, Kim TaeHyung, member of the K-pop group BTS, better known by his stage name V, who reached the symbolic milestone in… 43 minutes!
