Daniel Radcliffe comfortable about his height
July 2nd, 2010 - 5:37 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 2 (ANI): Daniel Radcliffe has decided to poke fun at his own height, rather than feel bad about it.
The Harry Potter star stands at 1.6 metres (five foot, five inches) and admits he used to worry that his cast mates Emma Watson and Rupert Grint would outgrow him onscreen.
And even though they eventually did, Radcliffe insists that he now feels comfortable about his height.
“I didn’t get particularly worried because as long as Emma (Watson) and Rupert (Grint) weren’t shooting up too quickly either, I’d look (fine). We’d all look relatively (the same height). It was all going to be okay,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
“I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally. But I’ve now accepted it.
“Basically, I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes. When I meet people now and they all say, ‘God you’re so much shorter than I expected!’ I always say, ‘No! I’m actually slightly further away than you think’, which confuses them,” he added. (ANI)
