Daniel Radcliffe comes to terms with his height

Daniel Radcliffe, aka Harry Potter, says he’s finally come to terms with his height — or rather — lack of height. He says he was concerned that his co-stars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, would grow taller than him during the filming of the Harry Potter movies, but luckily, they remained approximately the same height up until the fifth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He told MTV News: “I didn’t get particularly worried because as long as Emma and Rupert weren’t shooting up too quickly either, I’d look (fine). We’d all look relatively (the same height). It was all going to be okay.” However, the actor, who’s approximately 5’1″, says he would have liked to have been taller than he is, but he seems to be handling the situation with humor. He says, “I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally. But I’ve now accepted it. Basically, I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes. When I meet people now and they all say, ‘God you’re so much shorter than I expected!’ I always say, ‘No! I’m actually slightly further away than you think’, which confuses them.” Daniel’s new movie, The Woman in Black, opens today across Canada.
