‘Hurt’: Rejection that Love Actually star struggled to get over

In fact, Brodie-Sangster almost had a very different (but equally famous) character on his resume too.

The actor once revealed he actually auditioned for the role of Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise way back in 2000, before the casting was announced.
