Daniel Radcliffe seems to be worried about people's expectation on everything he does that he wants to have blind confidence.

Playing as the good wizard Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe becomes famous and loved. This role actually makes fans have great expectation on how he behaves. This is what Radcliffe seems to be worrying about. He admitted often feeling scared that his fans are no longer liking him.

The young actor said people always expect a star to be a smart and lovable person as he told Vogue magazine, "So you try to make sure they know that you're intelligent and not horrible. Then you try to be rugged and sexy - but only after smart and lovable." Worse, the actor also has to deal with the expectation of his co-stars. According to a report from the magazine, he said "They're always expecting some terrible person to turn up."

On the other hand, Radcliffe admitted that he wants to have blind confidence so he does not have to worry about how the world sees him. That is why he always tries to do something he likes, such as acting on the stage.

The British actor, who plays the leading role in Broadway play "Equus", also stated that sometimes he enjoys writing poetry more than acting. In this case, he said that poetry has no limitation like acting. He added, "Poetry's this wonderful, sort of secret thing you've got going that you don't tell anybody about."
