Rupert Grint is facing backlash for his response to a question about far-right politics at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival, after avoiding political and social commentary for years.
The question followed a broader trend of stars being asked about politics at the annual film showcase, with actors such as Michelle Yeoh, Neil Patrick Harris, and jury president Wim Wenders declining to comment.
While Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter film series, did respond to the journalist who asked for his views, many netizens feel he did not say enough.
