Daniel Radcliffe has said he had started drinking to cope up with the feeling that he was "being watched" by Harry Potter fans. The actor, who found global fame after he played the title character in eight "Harry Potter" movies, made the revelation during "The Off Camera Show".

"In my case, the quickest way of forgetting about the fact that you were being watched was to get very drunk," he said. "Then as you get very drunk, you become aware that, 'Oh, people are watching more now because now I'm getting very drunk, so I should probably drink more to ignore that more'," he added. He also said that "there is no blueprint" to deal with the pressures of "starting young".
