Daniel Radcliffe just revealed too much about his time on the Harry Potter set

Daniel Radcliffe has put the last nail in the coffin that was our image of the innocent former Harry Potter star by revealing when he first masturbated.

Radcliffe revealed that he was just like “every other teenager” when it came to going through puberty, although he kept his new found hobby off-set.

 “I wasn’t going, ‘When is Alan Rickman going to nail this scene so I can run back to my trailer?'", he said. 

Speaking to Playboy, he said that he identified with comedian Louis CK, who once said in a stand-up show “I found out about it [masturbation] when I was 11, and I didn’t skip a day.”

“There’s another feeling, again perfectly described by Louis, that fear just after you’ve jerked off that everyone knows what you did,” he explained.  

Radcliffe added it would have been embarrassing to go back on set “look the dignitaries of British acting royalty in the eye, knowing what I’d been doing.”
