Growing up on the set of a movie is probably a rather stressful environment. Sure, by the end Daniel Radcliffe was pulling in about R400 million per movie, but when you’re a teenager with hormones coursing through your veins there are certain things you just gotta do.

You need not tell the world about them though, something Daniel Radcliffe wasn’t bothered with during a recent interview with Playboy. Here’s his response to a question regarding his masturbatory habits courtesy of Metro:

He said: ‘I was like every other teenager in that sense. My favourite line about masturbation is Louis C.K.’s, something like “I found out about it when I was 11, and I didn’t skip a day”. I think I started very early — before my teens. But not when I was on set.’

He added: ‘I wasn’t going, “When is Alan Rickman going to nail this scene so I can run back to my trailer?” There’s another feeling, again perfectly described by Louis C.K.: “that fear just after you’ve jerked off that everyone knows what you did.”

‘It would have been embarrassing to walk back on set and look the dignitaries of British acting royalty in the eye, knowing what I’d been doing.’

Yeah I can’t imagine Snape or Dumbledore taking kindly to Harry waving his wand around all day.
