Daniel Radcliffe is probably best known for his staring role as Harry Potter in the film adaptations of the popular novels.

In the interview, the actor said people are often surprised when he says he is into rap as reveals he has a real love for it.
Presenter Jimmy Fallon asks Radcliffe what rap he enjoys, to which the actor says: "Initially, I got into Eminem and I was obsessed.
"I think I was the first kid in my class to learn all the words to The Real Slim Shady."
Radcliffe also recommends British rapper Plan B to the American audience and is surprised with the cheers he gets.
Radcliffe continues by saying he is obsessed with learning the lyrics to 'complicated lyrically-intricate fast songs' which he describes as a 'disease'.
Well, the star had just put himself in it as Fallon had a plan to get him to rap on-air.
The presenter asks the actor if he can do the 'Alphabet Aerobics' song, which is certainly a tongue-twister.
Radcliffe confirms he has memorised the song and is then passed a microphone by Fallon, before launching into a performance of the spectacular rap in front of the crowd without making a single mistake.
The audience give him a resounding ovation as he gets through the track in rapid pace.
Commenters on TikTok gave a similar reaction recently to the resurfaced nostalgic clip, with one saying: "Yall dont understand how impressive that is."
A second user said: "I'd watch this everyday religiously when I was younger."
A third comment jokingly added: "The most impressive thing is he didn’t have to take a minute to remember the alphabet."
And of course there was going to be some Harry Potter references, with a fourth comment added: "Eminem: I’m the fastest rapper alive. Daniel: Hold my wand."
Multiple comments were also praising Jimmy Fallon for his contribution: "Jimmy Fallon jumping in the background like a little kid I can't."
Maybe Daniel Radcliffe will be heading for a rapping career in the future...
You're a rapper, Harry.
