Daniel Radcliffe Not Interested in Hobbit Role
Posted by Adam
Don’t expect to see Daniel Radcliffe playing Bilbo Baggins in eagerly-awaited movie The Hobbit — the Harry Potter actor isn’t interested in taking the role.
“I’d have to say: ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’ Not that anyone has asked me,” said the 20-year-old. “I don’t think they would want me anyway, it’s just too close. Whatever I do next, I don’t think there will be any wizards in it.”
Daniel did say who he’d like to see take on the role: “James McAvoy is fantastic.
“I think he should play it. I’ve done the fantasy-film thing. Actually, so has he, with the Chronicles of Narnia. But I’ve done it for longer. He can take over. I’m done. I don’t think anybody involved in that would want me to, either.”
Radcliffe is currently fliming the seventh and eighth films in the Harry Potter series, with the final film being released in 2011.
