Dan Radcliffe Promises He Never Stroked His ‘Wand’ On The ‘Harry Potter’ Set

Celebrities – they’re just like you and me, except every now and then, they have to answer questions about whether or not they jerked off on the set of a beloved childhood classic.
Daniel Radcliffe recently found himself faced with this very line of inquiry, and was forced to clarify that he never, in fact, stroked his ‘wand’ on the set of Harry Potter, despite rumours to the contrary.
The trouble started a few months ago, when Radcliffe gave an interview to Playboy, and admitted that he was a fairly avid masturbator as a teenager, and like his idol Louis C.K., “didn’t skip a day.”
At the time, he promised that he’d never diddled his gillyweed on set, saying:
“I wasn’t going, ‘When is Alan Rickman going to nail this scene so I can run back to my trailer?’ … 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.”
Nonetheless, admissions of his youthful wanking activities continued to haunt him, and when the question came up again in a recent NME cover story, he was forced to clarify that at no point did he pleasure himself on the Potter set:
“Oh God,” he says, flopping back in his seat. “It’s frustrating when you tell a story and say, ‘Yes, I wanked a lot when I was a teenager,’ but clearly I didn’t mean on set.” He straightens up in his seat. “Can you make this clear for me: I was not wanking during the filming of Potter – I managed to restrain myself until I got home.” Consider the matter closed. Let’s wash our hands of it, so to speak.
Mischief managed. Potter fans, this has been your important Daniel Radcliffe masturbation update for today.
