Joker Rupert steals the limelight with declaration of love at 'Apes' premiere


July 29, 2011

Supposedly Freida Pinto was the star of the movie, and she'd dressed up to the nines in a spectacular green gown. But her co-star Tom Felton was the one who got most of the attention at the Los Angeles premiere of their latest film. 

That's because he was supported by a familiar face in promoting Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. As well as his long-term girlfriend Jade Olivia, the actor was joined by his Harry Potter colleague Rupert Grint. And Rupert chose to demonstrate his love in a visual style - wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "I love Tom Felton".

The pair embraced and posed for pictures on the red carpet, before Tom joked: "I've had a crush on him for years and finally he's coming out, this is great!" After one reporter suggested Rupert could go into business with the shirts, he laughed. "Maybe that's his latest business venture now the films have wrapped up - might as well." After the night, the blonde heartthrob tweeted: "Great night, great film, great T-shirt modelled by Rupert.

"Due to high demand these T-shirts will now be stocked in all stores x”Tom plays the villainous Dodge Landon in the sci-fi movie, which also stars James Franco whose friends arrived and sent up the title of the film.
