Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has welcomed his second child with partner Georgia Groome. They named their newborn daughter Goldie.
“‘Secret Child Slightly Revealed’ Introducing Goldie G. Grint,” Grint captioned an Instagram post announcing the birth. “A 10/10 baby (so far).”
The actor then thanked the obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Alex Digesu at St. Mary’s Hospital in London for delivering the baby.
“Shout out to @alex.digesu for always delivering,” Grint wrote.
Grint is famous for portraying Ron Weasley in all eight films of the Harry Potter film franchise. Groome, also an actor, is known for playing Georgia Nicolson in the 2008 film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
The couple had their first child, Wednesday G. Grint, in May 2020. When Grint joined Instagram in Nov. 2020, he shared a photo cradling his newborn child.
“Hey Instagram….only 10 years late, but here I am,” he wrote at the time. “Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert.”
The director of 10 Things I Hate About You has plans for a sequel trilogy based on the original film.
Gil Junger, who directed the 1999 teen romantic comedy, revealed he is cowriting a sequel script in an interview with People magazine. The new film, which he is cowriting with Naya Elle James, is titled 10 Things I Hate About Dating. It would be the first in a planned sequel trilogy of films, which he hopes would be titled 10 Things I Hate About Marriage and 10 Things I Hate About Kids.
While the sequel film has not yet been greenlit, Junger said it is in the works.
“10 Things I Hate About Dating is definitively in the works as a feature film. We’re developing it right now,” Junger said.
Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger starred in the original film, which also featured Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik in its main cast.
“I would love to work with Julia again,” Junger said. “She shaped the lives of millions of women. That Kat character really spoke to young women in a very powerful way.”
Junger also said he would love for the sequel film to have a nod to the late Ledger.
“I think that’s a beautiful idea, and the answer is now going to be yes. … He deserves to be loved,” Junger said.
While there is no word on how much the original setting and characters will be a part of the proposed sequel’s story, as the script is still in early stages, Junger reiterated he would love for the original cast to be a part of it in some way.
“If it resonates with [the original cast] and I can have some cameos or even real parts, I’d love [that],” Junger said.
Boardwalk Empire actor Michael Pitt was arrested and indicted in Brooklyn on Friday on charges of sexual abuse, criminal sex act, assault and strangulation, according to court documents.
The actor pleaded not guilty and was released until his next court date in June.
The charges stem from alleged incidents that occurred in 2020 and 2021, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
The indictment alleges Pitt sexually abused an unnamed individual in April 2020 “by means of forcible compulsion.”
In August 2020, the indictment claims he allegedly forced oral sex on an individual. The indictment claims Pitt allegedly injured an individual with “a four by four” that same month.
In June 2021, the indictment claims Pitt allegedly assaulted an individual with a cinderblock.
In August 2021, the indictment claims he allegedly tried to strangle someone.
Individual identities are redacted in the indictment, so it is unclear how many people are making allegations against Pitt.
In a statement to ABC News on Wednesday, Pitt’s attorney James Goldman said, “Unfortunately, we live in a world where somebody like Mr. Pitt — an accomplished professional who would never so much as contemplate these crimes — can be arrested on the uncorroborated word of an unreliable individual. In reality, this baseless claim is suspiciously raised some four or five years after the alleged incident, from a time when the two parties were in a completely consensual relationship. We have already uncovered exonerating evidence and this case will be dismissed.”
Pitt is best known for his role as Jimmy Darmody in the hit Atlantic City-based period crime drama Boardwalk Empire.
In his role, Pitt starred opposite Steve Buscemi as an up-and-coming gangster in the underground crime world portrayed in the show.
Pitt, who also appeared in Dawson’s Creek earlier in his career, has taken on several television roles since the end of BoardwalkEmpire, appearing in several episodes the NBC show Hannibal. He’s also starred in the films The Dreamers and Last Days.
