No. 9 Teen Idol: Daniel Radcliffe spreads his wings
Daniel Radcliffe is famous for playing the role of Harry Potter

Daniel Radcliffe tried to keep a straight face when filming Dumbledore's demise in the latest Harry Potter movie.

The actor, 19, was preparing for the tragic scene when he heard gentle snoring coming from his co-star.

'Michael Gambon is the most respected actor I have ever worked with,' Daniel tells the Daily Mirror. 'So I had to really pull out all the stops to convey the emotion.

'But after the fourth take I looked down and saw that Michael had dozed off. I had to prod him to wake him up.

'So much for impressing someone with your skills.'

Sir Michael Gambon
