Harry Potter star Rupert Grint explains why he didn’t attend Robbie Coltrane’s funeral

Rupert Grint has spoken candidly about the death of Robbie Coltrane and explained his reasons for not attending the funeral.

The actor, who shot to fame at just 11 years old for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, revealed that he did not attend the Scots actor's funeral. Grint, 34, said that while losing Robbie was 'particularly tough' he didn't attend the funeral and said: "I don’t claim to know him outside work."

The Scots actor sadly passed away aged 72 in October last year. According to Robbie's death certificate, he died from a string of conditions including multiple organ failure with other causes listed including diabetes, obesity and sepsis.
