The interview comes out days after he dissed Rob for being a musician — is he trying to cover his tracks?
Days after an interview came out in which Daniel Radcliffe dissed Robert Pattinson, he’s backtracking and appeasing Twi-hards by showering Rob with compliments!
Daniel, 21, says Rob, 25, is more appealing to female fans due to the chemistry they have with his Twilight character Edward Cullen, GQ UK reports.
“There’s more of a sexual energy behind Twilight fans,” Daniel says. “Because people have mostly grown up with me, they tend to think of me as an older brother kind of figure. Whereas I think Rob is the sex symbol. And also, I guess, he’s out there more than I am, going to parties and things.”
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — is Rob the biggest sex symbol in the world?

Um I’ve read all the interviews lately and the only time Radcliffe mentions Pattinson is to say he’s more of a sex symbol. I think you and your readers are just implying Radcliffe is talking about Pattinson when he says things like actors shouldn’t be singers. Until I read it here, I had no idea Robert Pattinson sang. Never. Heard. It. Ever. I’m sure Daniel Radcliffe had no idea either (not that I can speak from experience of his knowledge). I seriously doubt Daniel Radcliffe gives a flying fart about what Twilight fans think of him. As a matter of fact I’ve read several articles where he flatly states that he doesn’t read stuff like this about anyone so there’s no way his comments could have been malicious.
Daniel Radcliffe has been saying for years to everyone who’ll listen that he doesn’t see himself as a sex symbol and that he thinks Robert Pattinson is one. To say he’s backpedaling from an article posted a month ago is ridiculous.
As far as Twilight’s fanbase being more sexual than Potters, that’s a given. There’s a difference between 100+ year old vampires and teenage school children. There are child pornography laws in just about every country. Sure, teenagers have sex, but they don’t do it on a movie screen for a story about kids growing up at boarding school. Potter isn’t Lolita.
I think these articles are juvenile and the writer should seriously consider talking to a grown up before putting them up on a website.
