Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he got bored of hearing that he is "an unconventional romantic lead," when the rom com 'What If' was coming out.

Radcliffe added that then the interviewer said that it's probably the fact that people associated him with playing Harry, the young boy wizard.
He continued that his immediate response to that was that the male population had no problem sexualizing Emma Watson immediately.
