Daniel Radcliffe Becomes Nylon’s Receptionist For An Hour, Surprises Employees

Nylon Magazine released a prank video starring Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe as the receptionist of their New York office yesterday on its YouTube channel. After being pretty amused by the idea of sitting behind the front desk, Radcliffe quickly became disillusioned when people (who “had no idea this was happening”) came into the office and started asking about things he didn’t know anything about.

“What about stamps? Let’s see,” he says. “I’m not sure if I can help you out right now, you might want to come back when someone more experienced is working here!” Others reacted differently when seeing the actor – asking for a selfie with him or having a mental block when Radcliffe hit their peripheral vision.

He even receives Joe Jonas who acts like he didn’t recognize him. Radcliffe fails at helping him find his way through the office, tells him he was “very new and very s–t” — one thing that Jonas confirms in a whisper when Radcliffe went to get some help.

Radcliffe is starring next in Judd Apatow and Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck, that’s hitting theaters tomorrow.
