Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe shares 'weird' celebrity fan story on Good Morning Britain

Harry Potter superstar Daniel Radcliffe appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Thursday morning, and revealed more about his celebrity fanbase as he previewed his new film The Lost City.

The lightning-scar star was chatting to ITV hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard when Ben asked: "Is it true that she [Sandra Bullock] asked for your autograph?"

Daniel grinned and said: "Not for her! I would love to say that Sandra Bullock asked for my autograph, but it was for her sister, as she is a Potter fan."

Ben then replied: "I mean, that's still quite cool, right? The fact that Sandra Bullock asked you for your autograph in order to impress her own family."

Daniel agreed: "I mean yeah it is cool, it's weird, I don't get it.

Susanna then interjected and said: "I know that you don't want to get trapped in the Potter role, you do a lot of other amazing things but when you work with these actors and talk about past projects, you are of a really high status and profile because of Harry Potter!"

Daniel replied: "I mean I don't know if I am,", to which Susanna joked: "Oh, don't try and be humble about it!"

Daniel's appearance in the globally successful Harry Potter franchise has made him a cult name in many households, and fans flocked to social media to tweet excitedly about his appearance on the ITV show.

One Twitter user said: "Loved seeing Daniel Radcliffe on @GMB this morning. He really is just the most authentic, kindest guy you could ever meet. #DanielRadcliffe #TheLostCity #HarryPotter #GMB"

Another fan wrote: "I love Daniel Radcliffe. He's a breath of fresh air."

And a third wrote: "Daniel Radcliffe on gmb" alongside a gif of a child dancing excitedly.

Daniel will appear alongside Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in their new hit movie The Lost City, releasing on April 15 2022.
