LONDON — Daniel Radcliffe says he finds the concept of celebrity and the level of interest in the trivia of actors’ lives “weird.”<\/p>\n

While promoting his first romantic comedy – “What If,” directed by Michael Dowse -the 25-year-old British star was keen to keep the conversation away from his own love life. Radcliffe is rumored to be dating his “Kill your Darlings” co-star Erin Darke.<\/p>\n

“People ask me about my relationship and I try to give a little away as possible,” Radcliffe explained. “People are dying in the world, give time to that.”<\/p>\n

And yet despite his best efforts to keep quiet about his personal life, the former Harry Potter star still finds himself tabloid fodder.<\/p>\n

“That gets turned into a story in itself,” he said. “`Oh, you’ve been really open about this.’ `No, I haven’t. I was just, like, trying to keep my mouth shut.'”<\/p>\n

Radcliffe was happy, however, to talk about his career choices post-Harry Potter. Since leaving the boy wizard behind him, he has sought out challenging roles and embraced on-screen nudity.<\/p>\n

Whether portraying beat poet Allen Ginsberg in “Kill your Darlings,” or skinny-dipping in “What If,” Radcliffe joked that he wasn’t “intentionally” seeking out roles in which he can appear naked.<\/p>\n

Yet it all comes naturally now after a stint in “Equus” back in 2007 where he stood in the nude on stage night after night.<\/p>\n

“Doing it on stage when I was 17 kind of makes you go `Meh’ about anything else after that,” he explained.<\/p>\n

“What If” stars Radcliffe pining for his character’s best friend, played by actress Zoe Kazan. It opens Wednesday in the U.K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
