Cherrybomb actor talks about Rupert Grint's role in the film

Rupert Grint’s “Cherrybomb” co-star, Kat Kirk, gave a brief interview in which she talked about his role in the film. Here’s what she had to say about him and that Irish accent:

What’s your opinion on Rupert’s acting in this film?
Kat: Rupert played the part of Malachy well. He’s a very talented guy and really brought Malachy to life. I don’t want to give too much away though!

Did he nail the accent according to you?
Kat: The Northern Irish accent is a tricky one because it can be really difficult to replicate and I imagine this could have caused some alarm. I remember when I first met Rupert and Kimberley, I told them as long as you pretend you’re a pirate when pronouncing the letter “r” then there shouldn’t be a problem! I like to think they took my advice, I thought it was pretty good!
