Daniel Radcliffe Assures Fans He Doesn't Have Coronavirus: 'I Look Ill All The Time'

A fake news story recently came out about Harry Potter alum Daniel Radcliffe having Coronavirus.

A fake BBC Twitter account spread the lie on Tuesday.

Radcliffe called in for an interview with the Australia radio show "Smallzy's Surgery" on Wednesday to address the hoax, as well as explain how he first heard about it.

"I walked into the hair and makeup room on a play yesterday, and the makeup artist was like, 'My niece has just texted me and told me you've got corona,'" he explained.

"I think it was on a fake BBC account, but then enough people saw it. That is the internet."

"I think it's just because I look ill all the time, so you can believably say it about me. 'Cause I'm very pale," he joked.

"But, you know, flattered they chose me."
