Plus what A-Lister would he like to work with?
Daniel Radcliffe says that he doesn't understand the hostility between fans of Harry Potter and fans of Twilight. Radcliffe told Time Out London in a recent interview that there isn't any rivalry, but that he does see a difference in the fan bases, at least in terms of sexual urges.
"We've never been in any kind of competition with each other... we don't care about the rivalry, the rivalry is all, like, other people care," he said. "I guess the fans kind of like to pit themselves against one another, which is strange...The fanbase for Harry Potter is a lot less sexually aggressive, shall we say, and I think that reflects the difference in tone of both films."
Radcliffe said that he's a friend of Robert Pattinson (who played Cedric Diggory in The Goblet of Fire) so he's "Team Edward" and that he's only seen the first Twilight, which he enjoyed. WHen asked about doing nude scenes and if he'd ever stop, Radcliffe said, "If they want me naked at 80, they'll get it. I don't care!"
When asked who he would like to work with, he named a certain comedian. "I'd love to work with somebody like Will Ferrell, I'm a huge fan," he said. "I'd love to get into comedy."
