'Harry Potter' likes to shock people by his smoking habit

Actor Daniel Radcliffe says he likes to shock people by asking them for cigarette lighters because most of them don't expect him to smoke.

The 27-year-old star, who shot to fame as Harry Potter in the "Harry Potter" franchise, says he has a habit of losing lighters and that is why he always ends up asking for it from strangers, reported Femalefirst.

"I do smoke and I like roll-ups. I get a kick out of asking people for a light - I'm always losing lighters. "They fumble in their pockets, look up and realise they've committed the crime of giving Harry Potter cancer," he said.
