Daniel Radcliffe is taking ballet lessons.
The 19-year-old actor is so worried he won't be able to find a job after the Harry Potter films come to an end he has decided to don tights and slippers in a bid to make him more employable.
He told Esquire magazine: "I'm learning the basics of ballet. The thing is, in a few years I'll be 21, 22, and that's when all the guys who've been at drama school will come out.
"They've been learning dance or singing and all that stuff and I'm going to need to compete with them because I won't have Harry Potter as my safety net any more. I need to make myself as viable a choice for any part as I possibly can."
Radcliffe and his co-stars Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright and Tom Felton wore white wrist ribbons at the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in London in tribute to murdered cast member Rob Knox.
Knox, who played Marcus Belby in the movie, was stabbed outside a bar in Kent, England, in May, just weeks after filming wrapped.
Daniel said: "What happened to Rob was awful."
Bonnie Wright, who plays Harry's love interest Ginny Weasley, added: "The premiere is going to be a traumatic experience for his family."
