After moving to America to take on roles in Equus and How to Succeed, Dan Radcliffe told reporters that he picked up an interest in American sports.

He turned into a huge football (the United States kind) fan, and yesterday he was seen at the NFL Draft, reports NFL.com:

Our in-house spies told us Radcliffe is an avid NFL fan who has become borderline obsessed with the game. While he’s still learning the game, Radcliffe is a big New York Giants fan who always has wanted to come to the draft.

This is the part of the post where I’m supposed to drop some serious Hermione references, but I’m the last man on Earth who has yet to see a Harry Potter movie or read one of the books.

I always respect a celebrity more when they legitimately know sports and show real fandom. Showing up to watch NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell read names off a card qualifies.

Radcliffe, as seen below (that’s the largest photo available, unfortunately), still has his Kill Your Darlings hairdo even though filming wrapped last weekend.
