Daniel Radcliffe claims he is too old for partying. The 20-year-old star no longer socializes with the rest of the "Harry Potter" cast and crew because he wants to carve out a career as a respected actor.

He said: "I used to play a lot of pranks in the past but I want to be a more mature, serious actor now."

The actor, who has attracted legions of fans since landing the role of boy wizard Harry Potter, reveals some admirers give him unusual gifts to show their devotion.

He said: "One Japanese fan sent me a present - a plastic ear. It was rubbery and you were supposed to fold it up and hold it in your hand, then walk into a party and go, 'Oh my God, there's something wrong with my ear!' and let it unfold. Everyone thought it was weird - then I found out that it's a famous Japanese comedian's best joke!"

Daniel Radcliffe's parents still do his washing.

The 19-year-old 'Harry Potter' star loves the freedom of living alone, but is relieved to live close enough to his family for them to do his chores.

Oasis have hired former SAS soldiers as bodyguards. The group's guitarist Noel Gallagher was reportedly wary of performing live following an incident in Canada last year where he suffered cracked ribs after being attacked by a stage invader, and insisted the band draft in extra security guards ahead of their U.K. stadium shows.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Noel was seriously shook up after he was attacked. It was a freak moment when someone burst through and managed to get on stage. But he wanted to make sure he never had to go through that again."

Rupert Grint is a "great kisser".

The 20-year-old actor spends the first half of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' swapping saliva with co-star Jessie Cave and the actress couldn't have been happier.
