Daniel: dating Emma 'like incest'
|
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has said there is "something really incestuous" about the idea of him dating co-star Emma Watson.
The 19-year-old actor said that while a relationship between him and Emma, 19, who plays Hermione Granger, would be "everything the fans ever wanted", it was just not happening.
He told Esquire magazine: "There was never anybody I fancied that much in the cast, though the conspiracy theorists always like to say that me and Emma are dating.
"We know it'd be everything the fans ever wanted. I'm sorry guys, it's not happening. It's just not. There's something really incestuous about the idea of it."
Daniel also said he was bullied at school but used the skills he learned on the film sets to fight back.
"Because I'd been on set with some really genuinely witty people over the last few years, I could turn round to these idiots and at least try and tear them apart," he said.
"They didn't like that. I'm not saying I was Oscar Wilde at 14, but I had a line for anything they could throw at me."
