Daniel Radcliffe has laughed off suggestions that he might be gay but admitted that he enjoys the speculation.

The actor, who plays the title role in the Harry Potter film series, has said that he is aware of his icon status within the gay community.

The 19-year-old star told AOL's Moviefone: "Some people think I'm gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome. It's always good to keep them guessing."

Referring to his reputation in the online community, Radcliffe added: "I don't go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said 'Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He's got a gay face!' I really don't know what a gay face is."
