Daniel Radcliffe spurns parties, fame

Daniel Radcliffe is a very old 20-year-old. The Harry Potter star claims he is too old to party.

“I used to play a lot of pranks in the past but I want to be a more mature, serious actor now,” he said. “I don’t get involved with drinking or partying with the cast anymore.”

Aw, come on, Harry.

He has no mercy for famewhore stars out there. He blasted those who are only interested in fame, insisting he hates being “a celebrity”.

“I hate celebrity culture but I’m unavoidably part of it. These people are celebrities as a by-product of what they do,” said Radcliffe. “People read every little thing about Peter Andre and Jordan and I couldn’t care less. They don’t want to work, have no interests, no passions, nothing and yet they seem to be held up on pedestals. I don’t think they should be trying to push themselves onto us. It does annoy me of course, but I’m part of it.”

His co-star, Rupert Grint, doesn’t share Radcliffe’s philosophy. Grint has been spotted at several UK music festivals this summer and makes no secret of his love of wild nights out.

He recently said: “When I’m drunk I like to cause mischief. I’ll steal props like the broomsticks from the ‘Harry Potter’ set and bring them out to the pub for comedy value. It seems funny at the time. Trouble is I usually get too trashed to remember what happened the next day.”
