Much like his former Harry Potter costar, Daniel Radcliffe simply does not have time for sexism and gender double standards. In an interview this year with the Associated Press, Radcliffe was asked his "unconventional" sex symbol status now that he has played a lead in a romantic comedy, and his response pretty much says it all:
"Around the time of What If, the rom-com, a lot of people were saying 'You're a really unconventional romantic lead.' Eventually I got bored of hearing that, so I kind of picked someone up on that, so I was like, 'What about me is unconventional? Tell me.' She said, 'Well, I think it's probably the fact that we associated you with playing Harry as a young boy for so long.'"
To that, Daniel replied: "The male population has had no problem sexualizing Emma Watson immediately." BOOM.
