Any professional actor you care to mention will have struggled with corpsing at least once.
When the lights are trained in on you and the cameras are rolling, and you're so focused on getting the lines out in a super-intense scene, then all it takes is one tiny thing to provoke an unstoppable fit of giggles.
Take a look at this super-nostalgic interview with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint from way back in 2001:

Indeed, even the cast of Harry Potter struggled with the compulsion to laugh from time to time, and now Rupert Grint has opened up about the one scene that made him corpse the most.
According to The Independent, the revelation was made after actor Tom Felton, who previously played the part of Draco Malfoy, hosted a Potter cast reunion, which included Grint, Evanna Lynch, Jason Isaacs, and James and Oliver Phelps.

Discussing the subject of the cast's on-set hijinks in the live stream, Grint stated:
"I remember on Potter it would always be the most inappropriate scenes, like Dumbledore’s funeral was a particularly bad one. For some reason, I found that absolutely hilarious. And yeah, once you start laughing, it’s very hard to stop."
Per The Independent, Grint also added that he had to film his first ever scene alongside Daniel Radcliffe on the Hogwarts Express separately, as the two of them were unable to make eye-contact without giggling.

This candid revelation comes just a few days after Grint delighted his fans by finally joining Instagram.
Per BBC News, the 32-year old uploaded his first post on Tuesday, November 10, which shows him holding the baby daughter that his partner, Georgia Groome, gave birth to in May.

Grint captioned his post: "Hey Instagram....only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert. [sic]"
Per BBC News, Grint managed to break a record set by renowned documentary maker Sir David Attenborough, amassing more than two million followers in the space of 24 hours.
