The Cabinet of Curiosities star said he'd shown her bits of the Harry Potter films, but she's too young to know that Ron is her dad. “I’ve shown her clips from Potter but I don’t think she understands it’s me," Grint explained.
"When she’s old enough, I’m looking forward to watching them with her.” Credit: Aflo/Shutterstock January 2023 “She's kind of princess crazy, as well. She's struggling a little bit with adjusting to U.
K. life. She spent most of her time in America so she's missing some cultural things,” Grint said during a 2023 appearance on Fallon’s late-night talk show, noting Wednesday misses Philadelphia, where he shot Servant .
“She does love Philly. She loves hoagies, she loves water ice. And I mean the big one is Target.
She is obsessed with Target.” He added: “She'd choose that over going to the park, or zoo. But she loves going to different Targets and seeing how the layout is kind of slightly different.
Sometimes she doesn't buy anything, she just wants to kind of browse.” Wednesday — who enjoys wandering in both the toy and lip balm aisles of the superstore — also has a miniature Target playset in the family’s house.

“My character says the F-word a lot and now she just says it whenever she’s excited,” he revealed on The Tonight Show . “We were at the toy store today, and she was just walking around dropping it. .
.. We find it hilarious, so it’s kind of encouraging it.

I don't know, do I change the way I dress now?’” Grint told Esquire in a profile, noting he was “terrified” the first night they brought Wednesday home from the hospital.
“You can't sleep at all, just constantly checking that she's breathing. Sleeping, in general, for me, is something I've really struggled with. I think as a kid, people always said, ‘They died in their sleep,’ so I always thought sleep was a really dangerous, dangerous thing.
” He added: [It’s] that thing that you'd do anything to get your kid back. [Parenthood] really helped me understand that. I guess I already had some concept of it, obviously, but I think having a kid of your own really nails that down.

“The grief, what it means to lose a child, is kind of unimaginable and kind of hones in on that you would do anything to get your child back,” Grint told ComicBook.com. “So yeah, it’s definitely helped in some ways.
” Credit: Shutterstock December 2021 The Sick Note alum told ET in December 2021 that fatherhood has “definitely changed” his outlook on life. He said, “[Filming Servant] is a weird place to be, especially when Wednesday first came. I remember I brought her to the set this season.
She thought she was at Sesame Street , which was very far away from Sesame Street . But yeah, it's really interesting.” In order to view the gallery, please allow Manage Cookies.
