Daniel Radcliffe is angered at those who say he is an "unconventional romantic lead".
''It's about building up as diverse and interesting a body of work as I can.''
The 25-year-old actor - who rose to fame playing the lead role in the 'Harry Potter' series - has revealed he hates when people say he is not as well suited to the romantic lead roles as some of his actor friends.
He told Associated Press: "Around the time of 'What If', the rom-com coming out, a lot of people were saying, 'You're really an unconventional romantic lead.'
"And so eventually I got bored of hearing that and I kind of picked up on it, so I was like, 'What about me is unconventional, exactly? Like, tell me.'"
The 'Horns' star was also questioned about people that find it "kind of weird" thinking of him as a sex symbol because they had seen him "growing up on screen".
Replying to the comment, he said: "Well, the male population has had no problem sexualizing ['Harry Potter' co-star] Emma Watson immediately."
Meanwhile, Daniel has previously admitted he is desperate to break ties with the character he played in the adventure series.
He recently said: "There is no one film that fully separates me, in the eyes of everyone else, from 'Harry Potter' - that isn't going to happen.
''It's about building up as diverse and interesting a body of work as I can.''
