Daniel Radcliffe was supposedly looking for a hot Aussie girl, one in particular that he met at the Australian Film Industry awards. Two girls have come forward, claiming they met the boy wizard/millionaire, and producing photographs to prove it.
To be fair, I’d have to admit that both girls meet Daniel’s description of them as being ‘stunning’ in appearance.
The first girl is Cassi McKay, she’s a 20-year-old insurance worker and is heading to London. Not to meet Daniel, that’s just a coincidence. She’s been in a committed relationship for over two years.
“We said hello and had a quick chat and for the rest of the night, just because I was fascinated, we were sort of smiling and making eye contact,” she said.
“I couldn’t believe when he said he was looking for the girl.”
Although she is committed to her current relationship, Ms McKay said she would be keen to organise a second audience with Radcliffe while she was in the UK.
“I’ve told my boyfriend about him and I’d be keen to meet up,” she said.
Cassi, who approached the newspaper herself and posed for photographs, says she hopes “people don’t think I want my 15 minutes of fame or anything”. Well, what are you looking for then, if you aren’t pursuing the boy wizard, or looking for some notoriety? Why come forward at all?
The second girl, who was actually photographed with Daniel and Cassi, is Savannah Blount, a 23-year-old sax player at the event.
Blount said she was charmed by the teen wizard and was happy to go on a date with him if the chance arose during one of her regular UK tours.
“He was quite lovely. He was very charming, very polite,” she told the Melbourne edition of MX. “Maybe if I was working over there or touring, you never know.”
Though not a Harry Potter fan, Blount is attracted to the $50 million dollar man.
“Handsome? Yes, yes – and very short. I’m more for the taller type of guy.
“I’ve got a lovely boyfriend who is quite concerned – no, he thinks it’s funny.”
But what does Daniel’s publicist have to say about all this?
“(Radcliffe’s comments) were meant in jest, but sadly been blown out of all proportion,” Radcliffe’s London-based representative, Vanessa Davies, told New York’s Daily News newspaper.
I love it when I’m right, and it doesn’t happen very often. It seems that I was correct about Daniel Radcliffe’s mystery Australian girl – he was having on the reporters at the Daily Telegraph.
At any rate, you can vote on which girl Daniel should choose, as if it’s all a matter of an online poll. The current lady in the lead for Harry Potter is Cassi with 38% of the vote. Personally I, along with 26% of voters, think that he should give both crazies a miss.
That was going off on all the radio stations, I was listening to Triple J when someone called in, saying the brunette was their brother’s girlfriend apparently.
There was a remark on the station which might be a little interesting.
“Do you think Radcliffe’s just gone and done these to gain a little more notoriety, deviating from his Potter-like innocence?”
I think Equus was deviant, even in an artful way, enough. This certainly seems like something the newspapers would dub a story catcher, as in, Daniel was just raking in some attention.
Yay, it’s over is all I can say.
Radcliffe never struck me as the kind who could be so entralled by a child merely based on looks. For that reason alone, I thought he was joking.
This whole story is so, so contrived. Or am I the only one familiar with ‘Cinderella’?
*chick
sorry. I didn’t catch it before my editing time ran out. 😳
Hehe, I thik the gag is funny. He doesn’t seem like the attention starved type.
And George Clooney thought he was the only to trick oh so well the press…
I must say that the blonde one does have a striking “Baby Spice” look (well, a younger Emma Bunton, of course).
The blonde’s cute.
Well sorry but I have to tell you it was true. she was there, he couldnt stop looking and she told many people at the time the story NOW he looks a little silly saying he was “joking” NO I correct myself, his publicity people do, i think he spoke from his (male 18 year old) heart when he said he had been thinking of her for so long Cmon Dan be a man and meet the girl IF she wanted fame and fortune she would have come forwardwith this a year or more ago HE came forward
I think that the girls who came forward are pathetic, it is the press who blows every statement a celebrity makes out of proportion, in fact, it was only the show that he said it on that decided to do the entire, find the mystery girl, thing. Anyway, if a girl really thought they had caught Dan’s eye, the sensible thing would have been to send him a letter with a photo. (His address is widely available for fanmail, and he reads every letter). I don’t care what anyone says, these girls are obviously so keen to be associated with someone famous that they have sacrificed their dignity to do so.
Да таков наш современный мир и боюсь с этим ни чего не поделать:)
