Daniel Radcliffe Freaked Out Over Stranger Things And The Stranger Things Kids Freaked Out Right Back

Is there anything cooler than Harry Potter thinking you're cool?

The Stranger Things kids are the gifts that keep on giving. Not only are they very cute, they also seem, if their recent press tour is anything to go by, just about the most personable chaps and chapesses you're ever likely to meet.

So it comes as no suprise that Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe (currently playing a farting corpse in Swiss Army Man - no really, think Tom Hanks in Castaway if Tom Hanks was Paul Dano and Wilson the volleyball was a talking, farting corpse played by Daniel Radcliffe) is also a big fan of the kids. And the TV show.

Appearing on Nick Grimshaw's show on Wednesday, the actor had something of a moment. He said to Nick Grimshaw that he'd watched all of the show to which Nick replied that the kids were on his show the following day. 'OH.MY.GOD' Said Daniel. 'Can you just, like, tell them that they're AMAZING, and just ask them - as a person who started out acting really young - how are they so good?! I wasn't that good as a kid - have the decency to be less good at acting, please!'

He went on to praise the show saying 'Everyone said 'oh it's like E.T., The Goonies, Stand By Me... It's also TERRIFYING like none of those films are. It's really scary!'

Naturally, when the Stranger Things kids showed up the following day, Grimmy let them know that the Hazza P was kind of a fan of theirs.

'Oh my God!' They yelled. 'That's so nice!'

'He said "I wasn't very good when I was younger?' Said Milllie incredulously 'Let's just review. He was HARRY POTTER.'

I know right? Petition for Daniel Radcliffe to appear in season two?
