Daniel Radcliffe, drawn by Stuart Pearson Wright who won the BP Portrait award in 2001. The drawing, goes on display from today at the National Theatre and National Portrait Gallery in London.
London - Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe Wednesday became a star in London's National Portrait Gallery where pictures of the rich and famous are on display.
The 16-year-old actor is the youngest person - except the offspring of the royal family - to have his portrait exhibited in the gallery on Trafalgar Square.
Radcliffe was 14, and had just embarked on the fourth Potter film when he posed for the drawing by Stuart Pearson Wright, whose previous studies include one of JK Rowling, the creator of the Potter books.
The picture shows Radcliffe in jeans and T-shirt, looking thoughtful while sitting in an armchair in the artist's studio.
Radcliffe, who is at present shooting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, said he was delighted to join the National Portrait Gallery.
'It's very weird. It's fantastic. It's a very, very strange feeling.'
'In terms of painting, drawing and sketching I'm utterly talentless', he added.
