| | |  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. | |

Good for Dan! He has a point. I mean up to this point a book about him would be pretty boring.  Whenever he does decide to do one, I'll for sure read it.  |

Smart decision. I don't know many 17 year olds who have lived enough to write an autobiography.

I'd love to have a Dan biography, but in about 20 years instead. He's much too young now, good job, Dan!! | |

I'd definitely buy Dan's biography but it is better if it's done when he's older. There isn't much on him yet. He's only 17. Good job Dan.

He's right. He's too young to do his own biography!

I think that Dan made the right decision. He should wait until he's older to write a biography. | |

Great idea to wait until he's older, I mean at 17 you have only done so much right? I'll buy a copy of it though when it comes out

It's good to know he has his very good reasons, people seem to biograph everyone, age regardless.

I couldn't agree with Dan more! The people who approached him probably only want to make a quick buck off his Harry Potter success. I'm glad Dan recognized that although he's been great in HP and Equus, he requires more acting and LIFE experience before taking on such a task. Kudos!

You go Dan!! those are some good points lol. He should do one though when he´s older, but yes, 17 is extremely young for a biography. It´s actually funny that they offered it to him......  | |

I should definitely hope so He does have a point, you know. 17 really isn't that old for a biography on someone's life, especially since it's changing daily. I mean, it'll change as soon as he films HBP and then DH...I think 30 would be a good age to have a biography though. | |

I agree. I personaly think 50 is a good age for a biography (because it covers more time and events)...

That's nothing ... you can get my biography for free here on SS ...  just go to the finished fan fic section ... and it's infinitely more interesting than Dan's *pets* Sorry kid, you're just too young ... they should ask him to write fiction though ...

I think he is too young for that at the moment. I think in about 20 years, it would be good!
