'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint has bought an ice cream van as his first car.
The 18-year-old actor - who plays Ron Weasley in the hit films and also starred in 'Driving Lessons' with Julie Walters - thinks his unusual vehicle is "cool".
Rupert said: "I don't know why I bought it, but it's really cool."
"I've always had an interest in the ice cream industry. It's really cool - it's got a freezer in the back and a big kitchen with sinks. It's got a bell that plays a tune. It's really cool."
The young actor - who dropped out of school at 16 - may even become an ice cream man if acting does not work out.
He said: "I've got to do other things after 'Harry Potter' so I'll just see what happens. I've still got my ice cream van if it doesn't all work out, so I'll be all right."

jeez, i didn't know he dropped out of school. my 13 year old brother thinks he's awesome because he bought an ice cream truck. now i can't tell him rupert dropped out of school at 16 or he will! it's true though that he's got so much $ that he really has no obligation to learn anything more in high school, but he's gonna be lonely while all the other kids are in college and he's not.

He didn't drop out of school! He finished it! He graduated after taking his GCSE exams -- and decided not to further his studies. In the British school system, he's already finished the required level of education for most jobs.
