Daniel Radcliffe honoured to be sex symbol

Actor Daniel Radcliffe says he is "honoured" to be called a sex symbol.

"It's fine if people want to make me the subject of their sexual fantasies — good luck to them, fantastic, I'm honoured to be in their dreams," Showbizspy.com quoted Radcliffe as saying.

"Growing up, I never thought that would be the case. So it's very flattering and not something to object to at all," he said.

However, the actor admitted he can be "quite vengeful".

"Deep down, I think I'm capable of being quite vengeful. I haven't had to be yet because I haven't been wronged, but I know it's in me," he said.

"One of my parents is very good at bearing grudges. I've inherited the quality," he added.
