Harry potter star Daniel Radcliffe is denying he smoked a marijuana joint.
The 20-year-old British actor was apparently photographed in the act at a London party.
His agent says he does smoke the occasional roll-your-own cigarette, and that's all he was doing.
Photographs emerged of the Harry Potter star appearing dazed and confused at a recent London bash, where he boasted of his drug-taking and even let a girl draw a moustache on his face.
"He was really friendly and talking about his dad a bit. Then he pulled out a huge joint and lit up. Daniel said he loved it," says a fellow guest Wadia Tazi.
"Daniel was laughing and seemed to find it funny. But he didn't really look like he knew what was going on. I was surprised by his behaviour.
"He looked spaced out and away with the fairies."
After giggling and chatting to other guests at the private bash, it has been reported the 20-year-old actor started telling everyone "I love weed!"
However, Radcliffe was seemingly determined Tazi and his friend - who arrived at the party in the early hours of the morning - didn't work out who he was.
"I didn't recognise him as he looked so different to what I expected from the films. When my friend told me who he was, I was shocked," says Tazi.
However, spirits dropped when a man called Sam - believed to be the actor's minder - realised the two guests had noticed his behaviour and were possibly making recordings on their mobile phones.
Radcliffe then made a swift exit from the party with his on/off girlfriend Laura O'Toole.
Tazi says O'Toole was very protective.
"She said Daniel had a reputation to protect and couldn't ruin it. I presume she meant by being seen smoking. I said I didn't know what she was talking about. But almost immediately afterwards, she and Daniel left."
