He reached the million mark in four hours and one minute.
That's 43 minutes faster than it took Sir David when he joined in September, according to Guinness World Records.
Dubbing himself "Grint on the Gram", the 32-year-old actor's first post was a photo of himself with his baby daughter.
Grint said he was "here to introduce you all to Wednesday", the six-month-old girl his partner Georgia Groome gave birth to in May.
He joins a varied list of public figures who have at some point held the record for the fastest to gain a million followers.
