Rupert Grint, the actor who portrays Ron Weasley in the Potter series, has just finished fimling a steamy sex scene for his new movie, Cherry Bomb, set to hit theatres in January 2009.

Just like his co-star Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the title role of Harry Potter, Grint decided that getting his kit off was the best way to move on and distance himself from the stereotypical role of a boyhood wizard.

“I really loved the script and having done Harry Potter, I wanted to do something different. It was quite a challenge,” Grint told BBC Newsline.

In the film, Grint plays Malachy, one of the three main characters in a dangerous love triangle with bad girl Michelle (Kimberley Nixon). Nixon’s character manages to catch the eye of both Malachy and his best friend Luke (Robert Sheehan), and coaxes them into doing terrible things for her affections.

Now that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been delayed eight months, it means we’ll get to see both Radcliffe and Grint in the nuddie, before we see their latest Potter foray.
