"It really taps into being a parent. The fear of the dangers and the baby getting hurt - something being not quite normal. I definitely had it with Wednesday,"
"Those first few months can be quite isolating. It's a terrible feeling when it should be the most amazing thing, but it can be quite traumatising."
"It was something I never really had much of an idea of, that kind of love. It's a very different love. It's very strange. It definitely has kind of changed my perspective on things but also in a helpful way."
Rupert Grint described early fatherhood as isolating and at times traumatising, particularly during the initial months after his eldest daughter's birth. He and Georgia Groome are parents to two children, with their eldest daughter Wednesday born in May 2020 and a second child announced in April. Nightborn, directed by Hanna Bergholm, blends folklore with an exploration of postpartum depression and resonated with Grint's fears about a baby’s safety and things feeling not quite normal. Parenthood changed his perspective, introduced a different kind of love, and became his primary focus alongside occasional acting roles.
