While the actor keeps his family life private, he has occasionally shared glimpses into his experiences as a father. In 2022, he expressed how much he was enjoying fatherhood and revealed the inspiration behind Wednesday’s name. “I’m always hesitant to say it was (inspired by) The Addams Family! But, it was” he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Grint also shared about the time when his daughter accidentally picked up a curse word while spending time with him in his dressing room. It happened when he was reviewing scripts for his role as Julian Pearce in the series The Servant, where his character frequently swears, PEOPLE reported.
