Daniel Radcliffe pranks fans by seeking lighters for his cigarettes

Mumbai: Actor Daniel Radcliffe says he likes to shock people by asking them for cigarette lighters because most of them don't expect him to smoke.

The 27-year-old star, who shot to fame as Harry Potter in the 'Harry Potter' franchise, says he has a habit of losing lighters and that is why he always ends up asking for it from strangers, reported Femalefirst.

"I do smoke and I like roll-ups. I get a kick out of asking people for a light - I'm always losing lighters.

"They fumble in their pockets, look up and realise they've committed the crime of giving Harry Potter cancer," he said.
