Actor Rupert Grint says he struggles to cope with fame and often wears masks to conceal his identity in public.
The 25-year-old made his name as a teenage star when he was cast as Harry Potter's best friend Ronald Weasley in the eight-film series about the wizard boy, reported Contactmusic.
"I'm quite a shy person and wherever you go there's someone taking a picture of you. I've been to a couple of music festivals in the past few years and that's quite tough because there's a huge amount of drunk people. Once one person comes over, it attracts a crowd.
"Sometimes it's a bit overpowering. You can't just be yourself, you're always on show. It puts me on edge. I do hide away from it and wear hoods and masks," he said.
