"And I must admit I don't actually know how much I earned - the exact number.

"I've always known it was kinda 'there', and I've got quite an active involvement in stuff like that now, but I don't really know the exact figures. And I've never really wanted to.

"I'm quite a laid-back person and not overly ambitious, really."

Grint said the film series was a "huge part" of his life, and while it caused him to lose a few friends "on the whole it's been pretty good".

He told the newspaper: "I loved doing the Potter films but it's so nice to try different characters and explore different things. It's been weird since Potter finished, adapting to life now. It was such a huge part of us.

"For now I am just enjoying being free. It was a bubble world, and quite suffocating. A bit like a school, really. Now I'm out I still feel there are things I want to do."
