Rupert on date with Lily? - Feb 26 2008
Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has apparently got his sights set on a rock n roll romance with newly-single Lily Allen, after the pair were spotted on a date.

Just weeks after his co-star Emma Watson was pictured with Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell, it seems Rupert has been getting quite close to Smile singer Lily following her split from Chemical Brother Ed Simons.

A source told the Daily Star: "Lily met Rupert at the Order Of The Phoenix premiere last year where they swapped numbers and have texted each other regularly... After Lily’s split from Ed things changed. Rupert offered Lily a shoulder to cry on and she’s taken it."

The source added: "They get on really well and he makes her laugh. Last week they enjoyed a Japanese meal together in North London. Rupert drove Lily to the restaurant in his black mini and sheltered her from prying eyes.

"She is still dealing with the terrible start to the year she’s had to face, losing her baby and splitting with Ed, but these two would really work as a couple."
