LONDON - Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he was bullied at school after the film franchise turned him into a star.
The 19-year-old actor revealed that kids at his school teased him because he was so well known following the success of his first Harry Potter - forcing the youngster to toughen up.
“I wasn’t the most popular kid because they wanted to give me a lot of c**p and I wasn’t willing to take it,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
The actor also recalled a painful incident when he got involved in a fight with a senior at school.
He said: “I was 14, he was 19. There’d been a bit of animosity between us already and he was being horrible to a kid I knew, so I pulled him off this other bloke and he punched me in the face.”
The actor was just 10-year-old when ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ hit the screens. (ANI)
