《哈利波特》童星被曝税务问题！他究竟经历了什么？

还记得在电影《哈利波特》中饰演罗恩的英国演员Rupert Grint（鲁伯特·格林特）吗？

1988年出生的Rupert，今年已经36岁啦，现在他长这样。

近年来Rupert鲜少有作品问世，最近却突然冲上了头版头条，原因竟然是出现了税务问题！

这也让有些粉丝担心，“罗恩”现在的生活究竟怎么样了？

被勒令缴纳180万英镑税款

Former “Harry Potter” film actor Rupert Grint faces a 1.8 million-pound ($2.3 million)billafter he lost a legal battle with thetaxauthorities.
前《哈利·波特》电影演员鲁伯特·格林特因与税务部门的法律纠纷失利，面临180万英镑（约230万美元）的账单。

Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the magical film franchise, was ordered to pay the money in 2019 after H.M. Revenue and Customs, the U.K. tax agency, investigated his tax return from seven years earlier.

格林特曾在魔法电影系列中饰演罗恩·韦斯莱，在2019年被英国税务海关总署调查七年前的纳税申报单后，被勒令缴纳这笔款项。

The agency said Grint had wrongly classed 4.5 million pounds in residuals from the movies — money from DVD sales, TV syndication, streaming rights and other sources — as a capital asset rather than income, which is subject to a much higher tax rate.

税务部门表示，格林特错误地将450万英镑来自电影的“盈余”——包括DVD销售、电视转播权、流媒体播放权和其他来源的资金）归类为资本资产而非收入，而收入的税率要高得多。

Lawyers for Grint appealed, but after years of wrangling atribunaljudge ruled against the actor this week.
格林特的律师曾提出上诉，但经过多年的争辩，法庭审判员本周作出裁定，判定格伦特败诉。

Judge Harriet Morgan said the money “derived substantially the whole of its value from the activities of Mr. Grint” and “is taxable as income.”
法官哈丽特·摩根表示，这笔钱“主要来自格林特的活动”，因此“应当作为收入征税”。

拍《哈利波特》狂赚2500万美元

年少成名让Rupert 早早拥有了外人难以企及的财富和名声。小时候的他还完全搞不清自己拍《哈利波特》到底赚了多少钱。

Plucked from obscurity at age 11, Rupert Grint had little concept of Hollywood movie finances when initially cast as Ron Weasley. He said that his dad handled all that business side.

年仅11岁时，鲁伯特·格林特被选中出演罗恩·韦斯莱，当时他对好莱坞电影的财务运作几乎一无所知。他说，所有的财务事务都是由他的父亲负责的。

But as the films progressively became among the most lucrative in history, hispaychecksnaturally swelled to dramatic heights. Yet the staggering amounts were intentionally hidden from Grint through hisadolescence.

但随着电影逐渐成为史上最赚钱的系列之一，他的片酬自然也水涨船高，达到了惊人的高度。然而，这些天文数字在格林特的青少年时期被有意隐瞒。

Though the precise number remains private, multiple reports suggest he earned around $25 million by the conclusion of the epic fantasy franchise.

尽管确切数字仍然是保密的，但多家媒体报道称，电影系列结束时，他大约赚了2500万美元。

“I actually don’t know how much I have. I couldn’t even really guess.”It doesn’t really motivate me too much. It makes you comfortable, that’s the good thing about it, I think.”I’m glad it’s there but I’m not really that focused on it.” he said in an interview with The Radio Times. But he feels deep gratitude looking back years later.

“我其实不知道自己有多少钱，甚至连猜都猜不出来。”他在《广播时报》的采访中说道，“这并没有给我太多动力。它让你感到舒服，这大概是它的好处吧。”他说，“我很高兴它在那里，但我并不太关注它。”回首往事时，他内心充满了感激之情。

目前已经升级为幸福奶爸

在结束《哈利波特》生涯之后，Rupert的生活重心开始慢慢往投资的方向发展了，据外媒爆料，他成立了房地产公司“，又在英国各地买下了多套房子。

相比于“哈利波特”丹尼尔·雷德克里夫、“赫敏”艾玛·沃特森，他对演艺事业并没有太大的野心，只想安稳地过自己的小日子。

2020年，他和女友乔治娅·格洛梅（Georgia Groome ）迎来了他们的第一个女儿，他给女儿取名为Wednesday。他还在采访中表达了自己初为人父后紧张又兴奋的心情。

"It's great. I'm absolutely loving being a dad. It's just the best thing," the star, who played Ron Weasley in the beloved films, told the outlet. "

“太棒了！我非常享受当爸爸的感觉。这是最好的事情了，”这位曾在电影中饰演罗恩·韦斯莱的明星告诉媒体。

"I don't want to go too into detail, but the first night was just terrifying. You can't sleep at all, just constantly checking that she's breathing," he said at the time. "Sleeping, in general, for me, is something I've really struggled with. I think as a kid, people always said, 'They died in their sleep,' so I always thought sleep was a really dangerous, dangerous thing."

“我不想说得太详细，但第一晚真是太可怕了。你根本睡不着，只是不断地检查她是否还在呼吸，”他当时说。“对我来说，睡眠一直是我非常挣扎的事情。我想，小时候，人们总是说，‘他们睡梦中去世了’，所以我一直认为睡眠是一件非常危险的事情。”

媒体也经常拍到他们一家三口幸福出行。每个人对幸福的定义都 不同，也许对于Rupert来说，这就是他最理想的生活。
