DANIEL Radcliffe wants to be clear: he “was not wanking” on the set of the Harry Potter films.

In case you’re wondering how we got to the point of needing to clarify this, Radcliffe, 26, made some remarks about teenage masturbation in an interview with Playboy last month that led people to think there was a second wand Radcliffe would play on set that wasn’t the film prop.

In that interview, Radcliffe was asked what it was like growing up on the set of the Harry Potter films, given that most teenage boys spend all their time trying to find the chance to masturbate.

Radcliffe responded: “Yeah, I was like every other teenager in that sense. My favourite line about masturbation is Louis C.K.’s; something like, ‘I found out about it when I was 11, and I didn’t skip a day.’

“I think I started very early — before my teens.

“But not when I was on set. I wasn’t going, ‘When is Alan Rickman going to nail this scene so I can run back to my trailer?’”

Even though the second half of his comment expressed he hadn’t masturbated on set, the first half spread like wildfire and led many to believe that he actually did.

In a new interview with NME this week, Radcliffe, who stars in the new flick Victor Frankenstein, went on to definitively explain he did not get up to any of that kind of cheeky backstage behaviour while he filmed Harry Potter.

“I didn’t say I wanked on set!” he said.

“It’s frustrating when you tell a story and say, ‘Yes, I wanked a lot when I was a teenager,’ but clearly I didn’t mean on set.

“Can you make this clear for me: I was not wanking during the filming of Potter — I managed to restrain myself until I got home.”
