Daniel Radcliffe has said that filming love scenes in his movie roles is not at all sexy.

The Harry Potter star recorded his first intimate scene with Teresa Palmer in 2007's December Boys, Star reports, while he also appeared naked on stage in Equus.

Radcliffe said: "Whenever you watch those scenes you think: 'That must be so sexy to do and wouldn't that be amazing?'

"You wonder how those actors manage to control themselves, but when you're doing it and there's people watching you, there's nothing sexy about it at all."

He added: "It is not in the least bit exciting, no matter how beautiful the girl is."
