MTV News: Daniel about gay rumors "If people want to say that, they can," he said. "But I'm not. I'm straight."

While Daniel was filming a new public service announcement (PSA) in New York back in February for The Trevor Project, MTV News had a chat with him during the shoot. They mentioned persistent rumors about him being gay.

"If people want to say that, they can," he said. "But I'm not. I'm straight."

But he does get a bit of a kick out of reading about why other people think he's not straight.

"My favorite thing I saw was a guy on the Internet that said, 'Of course he's gay. He's got a gay face,' which I thought was kind of an odd thing to say anyway," Radcliffe laughed. "A 'gay face'? That's a very worrying thing, like they have sat at home and have got pictures of me next to other famous, gay [people] -- Elton John, I don't know -- just comparing across the years. I'm not sure. It's very, very odd."

Even if Radcliffe were gay, though, he doesn't think his status as the world's most famous boy wizard would have prevented him from being open about his sexuality.

"I don't think my position would have stopped me if I was gay," he said. "I know that some actors actually don't like to. I kind of can understand that to a certain extent because sometimes you do see actors get typecast after they come out, which is unfortunate. But a lot of the time that doesn't happen. It's personal preference. Coming out is such an important moment in a gay man's life that I would never want to actually comment on whether or not anyone should or should not."
