Daniel Radcliffe avoids TV dramas because he's 'jealous'

Daniel Radcliffe avoids watching TV drama because he\'s "jealous".

The \'Harry Potter\' actor has made a name for himself on both the stage and big screen - including roles in the likes of \'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead\', \'The Woman in Black\' and \'Guns Akimbo\' - and while he often gets "bored easily" when it comes to watching television, he would still love a part in the future.

He told this week\'s Radio Times magazine: "There have been loads of amazing series that I haven\'t seen yet, including \'Breaking Bad\'. I haven\'t seen \'Mad Men\' all the way through.

"When it comes to drama, I get bored easily and I don\'t like to commit myself to a show I\'m not enjoying.

"And when I do enjoy a drama, I usually sit there feeling jealous and wishing I was in it. That\'s why I stick to documentaries, cartoons and cooking shows."

And the 29-year-old actor previously admitted he only started watching \'Game of Thrones\' last year with the penultimate episode of the eighth and final series.

He said at the time: "I watched my first ever episode the other night with no context at all.

"All of my friends are having this viewing party for the last one so I\'m like, ok, I\'ll dive in with the penultimate episode and see if I can work it out. It was the most recent episode.

"I was very confused. [There was] a lot of explaining, mainly of the relationships, who people were to other people."

Although Daniel enjoyed his first experience of the show - which saw Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) use her dragon Drogon to torch King\'s Landing - he admitted he was "really annoying" to watch the episode with because of his experience in the film industry.

He explained: "I was really annoying when I watch it because I don\'t really know the show, but I know a bunch of stuntmen that work on the show.

"So I was there like, \'I know the that guy, and I know that guy who\'s on fire now, and I know him\'. So, I\'m a very annoying person to watch it with."
