The choice for the leading man in director Peter Kosminsky's upcoming biopic is sure to make headlines. 'The Spare' which is a film on Prince Harry is courting two major young actors in Hollywood - Twilight's Robert Pattinson vs. Harry Potter's Rupert Grint.

According to Celebuzz, the film 'will chronicle Harry's loss of his mother, Princess Diana, and his subsequent service in the British army in Afghanistan.'

Both Pattinson and Grint are branching out in various directions with which roles they are taking on. According to ContactMusic, 'Critics are noticing that Rupert Grint completely shakes off his trademark Ron Weasley persona from the Harry Potter movies (in his new film Cherrybomb). Industry professionals are hailing the great performances by the leading actors, as well as the skillful and impressive direction of the film.' Robert Pattinson has also proven himself to be a serious actor with such roles in movies such as 'Little Ashes' and 'How to Be.'

Who do you think should take on the role of Prince Harry?

    Rupert Grint. He is by far the better actor and actually has red hair. Looking forward to it!

    I think my son should play the part he is very much like Prince Harry.

  • Kosminsky Fan 2 years ago

    I think it should be played by a young british actor called Tom Luke-Taylor who is a dead ringer for Prince Harry!!
