Former 'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint says it was astonishing to watch his 'The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman' co-star Shia LeBeouf take LSD.
Grint, who plays an aspiring porn star in the movie said the incident has put him off drugs forever, the Guardian reported
"He (LeBeouf) smashed the place up, got naked and kept seeing this owl. If anything will make you not do drugs, it's watching that," Grint said.
The actor is currently busy with his stage debut as a drug dealer in Jez Butterworth's Mojo.
The 25-year-old actor may have played Ron Weasley a long time ago but his Potter fans continue to mob him.
"The crowd are usually quite manageable. There's one blonde girl who has a photo with me every night but she's never actually seen the play, which is a bit weird. People set up a fake friend next to you and pretend they're taking a picture of them. You can spot it a mile away," Grint says.
The actor wants to do more theatre.
"It's opened my eyes; I've learned so much," he says.
