"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe says he tried to be become like veteran actor Michael Caine.
The 26-year-old actor, who shared screen space with Caine in "Now You See Me 2," for the first time, said he tried to emulate him even before meeting him in person, reported Femalefirst.
"On my first Harry Potter film I was working with friends of Michaels who told me stories about him, they said he walked onto the set and by the end of that day he learned everyone's name. I tried to do that as best I can as well.
"It's about being really effortless, no ego, I think way before I ever met him, I had modelled myself on him a little bit," Radcliffe said.
The "Victor Frankenstein" actor said he was amazed by "The Dark Knight" star's talent and by him as a person.
"Jesus, I was in awe the whole time, he could not be more everything you want him to be.
