 Dan Radcliffe talks cricket, celebrity & autographs
In a new interview with Nine MSN Dan Radcliffe talks about his love of cricket, being a young person in the spotlight & the significance of getting an autograph from someone you admire. Quote:
The Harry Potter star spent his 18th birthday at Lord's, the home of cricket, and readily admits he would love nothing more than to be a professional cricketer.
"Absolutely. Totally would. Absolutely," he says, playing with a cricket ball constantly throughout the interview.
"I'm still convinced that one day I'll get a call and it will be from (England captain Michael) Vaughan and he'll say, I'm at Lord's, we need you."
| Quote:
"I have a drink, of course I do, every 18-year-old does - every 12-year-old does in England," he laughs.
"I think it's a matter of where you choose to do it.
"Half the people that complain about being spotted coming out of clubs drunk - you're causing it because you know that those places you go to are massive paparazzi hangouts. Just don't go to those places.
"I go to gigs and really the only photographers you'll find at gigs are the ones who are there to photograph the band."
| Quote:
"There's a great thing on Everybody Loves Raymond, a really poignant moment when he talks about having a baseball that's been autographed.
"'Cause I never got the autograph thing, I never got why we were so obsessed by them ... and I am, I've got cricket bats and stuff like that.
"And there's a moment in the show where he says, 'At that moment that player wrote my name, best wishes from whoever, and at that moment he was thinking of me.'
