Daniel Radcliffe Talks Hollywood

The "Harry Potter" Actor Said that His First Trip to Tinseltown in 2007 Shocked His Fans

He's arguably one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean Daniel Radcliffe is caught up in the glitz and glamour of LA.

The "Harry Potter" actor explained that his first trip to Tinseltown in 2007 shocked his fans, as they'd thought he was a regular in Hollywood.

"I went for the premiere of the fifth [Potter] film, but other than that, I'd never really gone there before. People seem to have a very bizarre perception of me - that I'm a Hollywood actor. I don't think of myself that way."

"When I was out there and telling people it was pretty much my first trip, jaws just hit the floor. They were looking at me like I had two heads."

Last month Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were in party mode in London, England following an all-day event held at Leavesden Studios to celebrate the "Harry Potter" movies.

With both actors being quite shy while making every effort not to get photographed, the pair joined crew members at Patch club near St Paul's Cathedral.

Having just celebrated his 21st birthday, Mr Radcliffe looked to be continuing his drinking ways - as he and Mr Grint joined a few lady friends at the UK nightspot.

Finally calling it quits at 4AM, Daniel and Rupert both eventually left separately via different exits after their late night reveling in the success of their "Harry Potter" movie stardom.

Radcliffe was back in the states earlier this summer when he was spotted at the Grand Opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida on June 17.
