| | |  Dan Radcliffe turns down £1 million book deal - UPDATED
After being offered £1 million (nearly $2 million U.S.) to do his biography, Dan Radcliffe said no. He gives his reasons below. Quote:
I have been offered obscene amounts of money to do a biography, but they fail to see that at 17 I am a little on the young side.
I plan to live a little more just yet. I do devour stuff like that, but honestly, I may be around 30 before I even think of doing anything like that.
Source: DR.com via Showbiz Sky (click on “Neil Sean’s Scoop” button on right side of page and “Next” several times) UPDATE: Page at DR.co.uk has confirmed with Dan's publicist that this is not true and that Showbiz Sky made up Dan's supposed quote. | |

Yeah. Good! I thought it was for something else because of the title and I thought, He turned down WHAT?!?!? But it's different. I agree with him, on this one.

He has a good point. It's best to make a biography when he's more aged. At seventeen, there is much to write about...but when he's older and done more roles and such, it'd be great.

He made a good choice, he is too young 
I mean, for example, Orlando Bloom was like, 25 or 26 when he had one done.
Dan can wait til at least 25

Dan is great!!! I agree, how can a 17 year old write a Biography?? I can't Understand the book makers decision!
But if they're willing to give me an opportunity to write a Biography on Dan, hehe...I'll do that at free of cost!!

Though I think if I were him I wouldnt want all my ponderings and anxieties out there for everyone to read, but he should consider that after the Harry Potter films are completed, what started his career that interested the world (the whole reason one would buy the book) is over, and by the age of 30 it is long over. What will he do after the HP films to keep the public interest, what could possibly match or top the HP films?

That's my Dan! He's completely right. He IS far too young to do a biography. However... I cannot pretend that I wouldn't like to read it 'cause I'd love to have it on my hands *giggle*
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

really great point...if he did do the book then it will probably be really short considering how young he is......

I agree with Dan. *Always does* He is a bit young to do a biography now.

Stop making things up people!!!! *pokes ShowBiz Sky*
But even if it was true, 17 is too young to have a Biography, I mean there is only so much important stuff to write about at that age...

I hate people who make up make believe stuff, like the quotes. It's all false, and it doesn't seem right.
