The Daily Record has an article in which they quote Dan Radcliffe talking about girls and how he compares to Harry in regards to them. He also talks about Katie Leung who plays Cho Chang and discusses the filming of the second task scenes. Dan also talks about working on set and how fame has affected his life.
Quote:
He said: 'I'm much more confident but I'm just as rubbish. 'It's weird. I like to think that I'm not, but I may be wrong. Ask the girls.' Daniel added: 'I don't have a girlfriend, but I try.
'I don't know, I suppose it's that whole teenage thing, sort of not quite knowing what to say.
'I think of the perfect line afterwards. I find that lines - no one should use lines with girls- don't work.
'Hey, do you come here often?' - what is that? 'Hey, is this seat empty?' 'Yes, and this one will be, too, if you don't leave me alone'. 'So I don't understand girls but I'm learning slowly.'
Quote:
'Katie was a completely natural actress.
'She's actually really, really good. 'I don't think she ever believes me when I tell her, but she's really a natural talent.
'And she's really cool.
'Because Harry is always like 'argh, girls', in this film, I didn't actually get to spend that much time with her but from the time I did, I found her to be really nice and she's a really, really good actress.'
Quote:
'I thought, 'for God's sake, don't try it'.
'I had lines, they gave me lines. But I thought, 'don't try in any way to actually say them, mouth them'.
'I tried that unintelligently and almost died.Well no, I didn't actually almost die.' But he added: 'It's not my favourite scene at all. It was the most interesting and the most fun in a way because we did learn so much.
'By the end of the three weeks I had two ear infections and my eyes were really stinging.
But at the same time it was amazing to film.'
Quote:
'One day I was just kind of standing there doing a scene and an owl just flew and landed on my shoulder.
'And it was great because I didn't see it coming at meand I didn't have time to be scared. It just landed on my shoulder.
'And I just looked so cool because I hadn't panicked at all. If it had been coming at me from the front I would have had time to register that this huge owl was coming to land on my head.'
Quote:
'I don't really like when people know it's me. Recently I was near a tube station and this kid looked at me, and it was like a moment in a Spaghetti Western where you have two gunslingers staring.
'But this kid, I could see it in his eyes, he recognised me,and it would have been fine if he hadn't gone,'hey everyone, who's that?' And then about 30 people saw me and that was overwhelming.
'But when two or three people just come up to me on the street it's fine. I don't get when people complain about that.
'It hasn't really changed my life that much.'
The article also says that Dan will start studying for his A Levels in September.
