Radcliffe considered celebrating his legal majority when he turned 18 in July 2007 by buying a sensible car like a Toyota Prius or a Golf GTI. Instead he decided to invest in art, falling for a blue ink drawing on white paper, called Mona D, Mary and Me, by the New York-based conceptual artist Jim Hodges.

"The dealer said they wanted to sell it to a more prestigious collector and Jim got word of this," Radcliffe said. "Turns out he's a massive Harry Potter fan and insisted they sell it to me.

"Ever since then I've been really good friends with Jim and his best mate, Tim, a photographer. And they are two gay guys, artists, in New York, and they introduced me to these amazing, crazy, mad, weird, extraordinary people. I was immediately embraced by the New York tranny community."

He offers a useful tip for any other actor hounded by paparazzi and fans.

"If you want to go out on the street without being recognised, without even being looked at, go out with a 6ft 8in beautiful transsexual," Radcliffe said. "No one gives you a second glance."

Lol I remember reading something about this on ONTD a while ago, glad to see it's true and he's so cool about it! Even thought I don't really follow the guy everything I hear about him makes me like him more, he just seems so unlike someone who's come out of the child star system.

Haha. Oh Daniel Radcliffe. Telling people how you avoid the paparazzi just means that next time they know where to look for you. (Or at least I hope that's what it means because I really want pics of him hanging out with 6ft 8in beautiful transsexuals.)

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

he's so SHORT, man, next to an enormous tranny he will be practically invisible! and failing that, she can bodyguard him. :D

[lazy-daze.livejournal.com]

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Hee! Now, of course, I want to see the picture he bought AND the 6'8" transsexual. Even the original article doesn't have them-- after piquing our curiosity like that. ;)

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

HOLY DAMN, DAN RADCLIFFE. ♥ Every time I think I can't heart him more, he says NEW AND WONDERFUL THINGS.

(...it is so bizarre to me that he's only a few months older than me, and yet I kind of see him as an inspiration. o_O Who said kids can't be important to the world? ♥)
