Grint surprised by own vocal talent on Postman Pat shoot

Rupert Grint was "surprised" to learn he can sing, which he discovered when recording his voice for his role in Postman Pat.

The 25-year-old actor shows off his musical talents in 'Postman Pat: The Movie' - in which he plays the titular character's talent-show rival - and thought it would be "a laugh" to record his vocals, but didn't realise he could actually carry a tune well until he heard the finished track.

He explained to Dev on Radio 1: "I was surprised, I thought it would be a laugh, I didn't take it too seriously but it came out alright, I was quite surprised when I heard it."

However, Rupert - who shot to fame playing Ron Weasley in the 'Harry Potter' movie series - insists he has no intention of embarking on a music career.

Asked if he'll release an album, he said: "I doubt it. It's hard, I don't know how people do it."

Rupert was delighted to be a part of the 'Postman Pat' movie, which also features our own Ronan Keating, because he was such a fan of the original TV series when he was young.

He said: "It's a very different kind of Pat to what I knew, he enters an 'X Factor'-style show and tries to pursue a career in music, and I play his rival.

"It's great, I'm proud to be a part of it because Postman Pat was one of my heroes when I was a kid."
