Daniel Radcliffe is too short to be a sex symbol.
The Harry Potter actor doesn't understand why women find him attractive, claiming they should turn their attentions to Twilight actor Robert Pattinson - who starred as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - instead.
He said: "It's very kind of them, but I don't know. If girls like short and nerdy, then I'm a sex symbol.
"Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. He's a genuinely sexy guy - he's got the height."
The 19-year-old British star - who was 11 when he was cast in the first movie in the wizard franchise, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - also revealed he finds it "torturous" to watch the early movies.
He explained: "For me to look back on the old films is an almost entirely destructive thing to do. I just torture myself over it. I mean, I was young. I can't be held accountable for the performance I gave in the first two films - I was 11 and 12. I wasn't like Dakota Fanning& who could seemingly just do it. It was very much a child's performance.
"Something happened at the age of 14. I started taking it more seriously, which meant I started having more fun."
Daniel believes he would have found a way to work in the movie industry even if he hadn't found fame with the Harry Potter films.
He added: "I would have always wound up in the film industry somehow, probably as an assistant director or something like that. It just so happened that it turned out this way."
