Daniel Radcliffe shuts down Susanna Reid's Oscars question on Good Morning Britain

Daniel Radcliffe was quick to shut down a question from Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain.

The ex-Harry Potter star appeared on the ITV morning talk show to chat about his new movie, The Lost City, which also stars Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. He plays Abigail Fairfax in the new film - an eccentric billionaire and international criminal who kidnaps Loretta Sage, played by Sandra, in order to find the lost city, on which her novel is based.

But while on GMB, Susanna was keen to get Daniel's take on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony. The slap came after the comedian made a joke about the Fresh Prince actor's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

The incident at the Oscars had been a previous talking point on the show. Discussion around the topic is still rife as Chris Rock has made a comment on the situation during his latest stand-up gig. He admitted he was "still processing" what had happened but will talk about it "at some point". He referenced the incident at a stand-up show and promised that when he did comment officially it would be "serious and funny".

The Academy has also since revealed that Smith was asked to leave the awards show after the incident, but refused. They say an official review has been launched with Smith facing possible disciplinary action.

But when Susanna tried to get Daniel to weigh in on the situation he completely shut her down. Despite her telling him how other celebs have responded, with her telling him of how some said they were "in the toilets" at the time during the awards ceremony, Daniel still didn't want to voice his opinion on the matter.

He said: "I saw it, I’m just so already dramatically bored of hearing people’s opinions about it, that I just don’t want to be another opinion added to it." Susanna replied as she asked: "You don’t even want to hear yourself?". Daniel responded: "No, no, not at all."

However, both of them went on to laugh about previous moments in awards ceremonies where celebrities' reactions had been caught on camera. Both told of their own experiences as the interview continued without any awkwardness.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub
