James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps (born 25 February 1986) are identical twin English actors, best known for playing Fred and George Weasley, respectively, in the Harry Potter film series
They are known by friends, family and film crew to be pranksters, from something as innocent like changing their names around. Even though they did admit to changing their characters around, it was not done while filming, it was done once while in rehearsal. They claimed the rumour about changing during filming was made up in an interview by moviesireland.
James and Oliver's best friends in the Harry Potter cast are Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis. Outside of acting, James has worked as a runner on the Potter sets, and other film productions, such as The Da Vinci Code

oo I really like these actors. I liked how they played in the Harry Potter series. I was very upset when I learned that ginger is not their true hair color. I can also add that they have met with the Queen of Great Britain =)
ReplyDeleteI can't but mention this day is dedicated to George Harrison's birthday!!!I adore and admire this English rock musician, singer-songwriter and film producer who achieved international fame as lead guitarist in The Beatles, along with mainstream success as a solo artist. So, my Congratulations!
ReplyDeletei'm always interested in other hobbies of celebrities. That's why i'd like to share some information about James and Oliver Phelps's interests with you.
ReplyDeleteBoth twins enjoy golf, and Oliver has expressed an interest in becoming a pro golfer. His handicap is 20 and James’ is 18. Both like listening to rock music, playing the Xbox 360, PlayStation and acting. The twin brothers support rival football clubs in Birmingham. Oliver supports Aston Villa, while James supports Birmingham City (Oliver supported Aston Villa alongside his late grandfather and James supported Birmingham City with his father). In May 2006, they both took part in a celebrity football tournament called Celebrity World Cup Soccer Six. They both also support Gloucester RFC. In January 2003, the twins planted trees at the National Forest, in Leicestershire. The wood that helped make the Harry Potter broomsticks was replanted by the boys, with the trees being birch and ash.
James and Oliver were born in the Sutton Coldfield area of Birmingham, England on 25 February 1986. They are the only sons of Susan (née Spare) and Martyn Phelps. Oliver is the older of the two, by 13 minutes. Growing up, they attended Little Sutton Primary School and the Arthur Terry Secondary School. In 2000, when they were 14 years old, the twins were cast as Fred and George Weasley in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. They left school in 2004, having taken their A-level exams
