Apparently, actor Daniel Radcliffe has something of an inferiority complex. At least, that is, when it comes to his former Harry Potter co-star and current Twilight sensation Robert Pattinson. While at the New York City premiere of his latest film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Radcliffe spoke highly of Pattinson at his own expense:
Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. Rob Pattinson is a genuine sexy guy. He's got the height.
If you like short and nerdy, then I'm a sex symbol.
Life imitating art? After all, Pattinson's character in the Harry Potter movies, Cedric Diggory, was Harry's dashing rival for the affections of Cho Chang.
When asked about his own love life, Radcliffe said:
As a romantic leading man, I try to keep my personal life as far removed from the film as possible.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince also stars Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore.
