Daniel Radcliffe might be very good actor but when he saw his own auditions of his iconic film 'Harry Potter', the actor felt embarrassed.

A 2001 video that features the auditions of the 26-year-old actor has gone viral on You Tube.

In the video, a giggling Radcliffe was seen performing a scene in which his character Harry and Hagrid watch a hatching dragon's egg, followed by a scene on the death of the boy wizard's parents, and a chance to try on those iconic round lensed glasses, the Independent reports.

The 'Kill Your Darlings' actor who also received the link of his audition video, said in an interview that he is not very fond of watching his own films, adding that he has had a hard time watching it.

Talking about how difficult it was for him to watch his audition's video , he said, "at a stage when you hate your face anyway, and anything it does it repllent to you."

At age of 11, Radcliffe was cast as Harry Potter in the first 'Harry Potter' film, and starred in the series for 10 years until the release of the eighth and final film in 2011.
