Daniel Radcliffe getting fat?

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe caught the world's eye when he stripped off, looking buff for the stage play Equus - but he seems to have piled on the pounds since then.

A source close to Daniel, 18, said: "He put on a lot of flab around his middle over Christmas, but starts rehearsals this summer for Equus on Broadway. He wants to be in peak condition by then."

Maybe he's been spending all his money on booze? - Daniel was seen  seen out-and-about in London's Chelsea over the Christmas period - sinking booze and chatting up good-looking girls.

According to reports, Radcliffe partied hard at the Crazy Larry club at the weekly College Dropouts night last Thursday.

The west London hotspot, a favorite amongst wealthy youngsters, saw Radcliffe shell out a whopping $1000 on booze for all his mates.

A party-goer said: “He paid for all the champagne and beers and told the club to supply his mates with anything they wanted. He was on top form and getting stuck in.

“He spent most of the night on the dance floor with two slim, well-spoken girls who were clearly impressed by his fame.

“He was asking the DJ to play his favorite songs between chatting up one of the blondes. They both left at the same time.”

The source added to British newspaper The Sun: “One of Daniel’s mates was laughing because he is fixated with slim, tall, blonde girls and loves a posh accent. Clubbing in Chelsea is a dream for him.”
