Daniel Radcliffe, Dark Prince
“That’s a nice way of calling yourself a slut,” I told him.
“Right. Yes. Probably.”
“So are you a slut?”
“Oh, no, certainly not. I was just kidding.”
“But you could be. I’m sure you are hit on all the time.”
“That’s a funny thing with me,” he confessed. “I’ve always gone in for long relationships. And ... and ... and ... faithful ones. I don’t know why that is.”
“Did you really lose your virginity at sixteen? That was a headline in the tabloids back home in England.”
“Oh, God. That was just a case of my being in a relationship for a couple of years when I was 18 and the reporter did some arithmetic.”
“You seem to have a sense of humor about all this.”
“I have a rather cruel and dark sense of humor, to be honest.”
“Well, you’re no prima donna.”
“I’m not particularly. I’m not. It’s all about the work. My parents did a good job. I’ve got a good work ethic. My dad is Northern Irish and my mum’s Jewish. I’m not religious in the slightest but I’m proud to be Jewish as a race. The combination of the two of them—that’s working blood, ” he said, revealing what a half-blood prince he really is.
