Harry Potter Star Daniel Radcliffe Hates Attracting Attention  8/14/05

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe struggles with being recognized by fans and wishes he could remain anonymous. The 16-year-old actor prefers to keep a low-profile in real-life and hates being the center of attention. 

Radcliffe, who will return as the wizard schoolboy in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire says, "I don't really like when people know it's me. "Recently I was near a tube station and this kid looked at me, and it was like a moment in a Spaghetti Western where you have two gunslingers staring. "But this kid, I could see it in his eyes, he recognized me, and it would have been fine if he hadn't gone, 'Hey everyone, who's that?' "And then about 30 people saw me and that was overwhelming."
