Once co-stars (and quite tragically so) in the "Harry Potter" series, Daniel Radcliffe doesn't envy his former Hogwarts classmate Robert Pattinson.
While Radcliffe just finished starring in the biggest film franchise of all time, he told Access Hollywood, as picked up by The Hollywood Reporter, that his gradual introduction to fame made life a lot easier for him, which wasn't the case for Pattinson.
"I think he's had to do with kind of a lot more," he said. "I had a very gradual easing in to the idea of fame, because I was doing the first two films back to back almost. So, while the whole 'Potter' film franchise was exploding, I was in studios filming and kind of unaware that this thing was going massive outside. Where as Rob, [he] was suddenly the most famous guy in the world. I think that's a lot harder to deal with."
There's also the matter of how their characters are portrayed, as well as the public's perception of the actors themselves. Radcliffe's Harry Potter is a boy wizard, steely and determined, but dressed in scarves and long black robes, not to mention his iconic rounded glasses. His love life in the books and film series is a late addition, and generally takes a backseat to the main action, which involves saving the entire world.
