Radcliffe turns to politics

Daniel Radcliffe is embarking on a political career - he's signed up as an advisor to the Liberal Democrats, according to reports.

The Harry Potter star recently revealed his political allegiance in America's Vogue magazine.

He said, "I'll be voting Lib Dem, without a shadow of a doubt. (Party leader) Nick Clegg rang me and we had a good chat. He's seriously impressive."

Now the star is set to help Clegg broaden the party's appeal, according to the Mail on Sunday.

A source tells the publication, "Nick called Daniel and asked for his support. He was only too happy to help and is planning to come out in support of the party and even campaign on behalf of the Lib Dems.

"Nick is really hoping Daniel's support will be a long-term affiliation with the party as Nick knows how important it is to be in touch with the youth of today and Daniel is a perfect tool for that. Daniel is serious about his role within the party and has already begun mentioning the Lib Dems in high-profile interviews."
