WASHINGTON 鈥� Daniel Radcliffe finally found a role he couldn鈥檛 play 鈥� receptionist.
The actor known for the Harry Potter films, as well as taking on 鈥淓quus鈥� on Broadway, spent an hour as a receptionist at Nylon magazine鈥檚 New York office as part of a hidden-camera stunt. He predicted it wouldn鈥檛 go well, and it didn鈥檛.
After getting some instructions from incumbent receptionist Lauren Adler, Radcliffe predicted, 鈥淚t鈥檚 gonna be tough.鈥� As reports, it was.
A few Nylon workers didn鈥檛 recognize the star, or pretended not to (he introduced himself as 鈥淒an鈥� and never pretended not to be who he was), but eventually the star-struck looks and the selfies started happening.
Still, work had to be done, and Radcliffe, who pronounced himself capable of handing out the bathroom key and not much else and called himself 鈥渁 cut-price, much less efficient version鈥� of Adler, began to fray under the pressure. His self-assessment began to get more negative, as well as R-rated.
On Nylon鈥檚 YouTube page, a Nylon worker wrote, 鈥淚 received no phone calls during that hour, which was strange. And a package that was supposedly delivered to the office for me never made it to my desk.鈥�
Fellow celebrity Joe Jonas was more succinct: As Radcliffe scrambled to find someone, he muttered, 鈥淭his new guy sucks.鈥�
