Rupert Grint fulfilled his childhood dream and bought an ice cream truck with his first paycheck
Rupert Grint, better known as Ron Weasley, made some serious bank as a child actor throughout the Harry Potter series. Though most people would spend their fortunes on a big house, a nice car or expensive vacations, Rupert Grint chose right off the bat to spend his first paycheck on a Bedford “Mr. Whippy” van and fulfill his childhood dream of becoming an ice cream man.

Since this purchase, Rupert Grint on occasion will drive around villages and hand out frozen treats to local children free of charge. We can be certain that clients are excited and taken aback when they are handed a delicious ice cream by Ron Weasley the Ice Cream Man.
