Actor Rupert Grint says he is a shy person off-screen and coping up with fame becomes difficult for him sometimes.

Grint rose to fame after playing the role of Ron Weasley in the "Harry Potter" franchise in all the 10 editions of the movie.

"I'm quite a shy person and wherever you go there's someone taking a picture of you. I've been to a couple of music festivals in the past few years and that's quite tough because there's a huge amount of drunk people. Once one person comes over, it attracts a crowd," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Grint as saying.

He even tries to hide his face sometimes.

"Sometimes it's a bit overpowering. You can't just be yourself, you're always on show. It puts me on edge. I do hide away from it and wear hoods and masks," Grint said.
