Daniel Radcliffe believes that celebrities, who give "moment to moment" updates of their lives to their fans on social media sites, cannot expect to have a private life.

The 'Harry Potter' star, who resented the attention fame brought as a child, told Sky News that he avoids film premieres and events that do not require his attendance in order to stay private.

The 24-year-old actor asserted that not having a Twitter or Facebook account also makes things a lot easier.

Radcliffe added that if celebs go on Twitter and tell everybody what they are doing moment to moment and then claim that they want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously.
