Radcliffe Hopes Pattinson Stays Grounded

DANIEL RADCLIFFE is impressed with the way ROBERT PATTINSON is dealing with superstardom - and he hopes the actor can keep himself grounded as his career continues to skyrocket.
The pair starred together in two Harry Potter films, which launched Radcliffe to international fame, while Pattinson went on to land the lead role in the Twilight vampire franchise, attracting hordes of fans across the globe.
Radcliffe insists he has no words of wisdom to pass on to his former co-star, since Pattinson seems to have adjusted to his new found popularity surprisingly well.
He says, “I wouldn’t have any advice. He seems to be coping well. I haven’t spoken to Robert since we saw each other at the opening of a gallery three years ago. We’ve been sort of exchanging advice through journalists, bizarrely.
“It is totally mad, when people are screaming and going absolutely insane for you. Particularly with Robert - the amount of women that would jump on him - you have to keep it in some kind of perspective, by thinking, ‘Well, partly they like me and partly they are just attracted to the character.’
“As long as you don’t think, ‘Oh yeah, God they’re all doing this - I must be absolutely fantastic.’ As long as you do that, you should be all right.”
