Daniel said the first time it happened, he was attending an event in Japan, and the man didn’t speak English.

“I was on a red carpet in Japan, and the guy who was offering me a photo of Elijah Wood was Japanese and did not speak English, and I don’t speak Japanese,” Daniel said.

He continued, “I think I signed Elijah Wood, or I maybe wrote, ‘I’m not Elijah Wood — I’m Daniel Radcliffe.'”

Daniel also recalled another occasion where a man enthusiastically yelled at him from his car — except he thought he was The Lord of the Rings actor.

He added, “And at that moment, you go like, he’s going to have a really nice day if he thinks he met Frodo, so it’s just like, ‘Thanks man! Have a good one!'”
