The 22-year-old actor is starring in his first movie - a horror film The Woman in Black - since the Harry Potter franchise. And although he has been learning a lot on set he says he still panics about his own ability from time to time, Contactmusic reported. "Sometimes I really feel like I'm getting the hang of it, because I never really had a process. My process was mainly that I hit my marks and I said my lines. So I'm kind of trying to find a process that allows me to find a sure fire way into a character, if it doesn't come easily.

"I'm working on that. And there are some days when I feel like, Yeah, God, I'm actually learning something, this is great! And there are some days when I go, 'Oh God, I'm never going to feel good at this. I'm never going to feel like I'm not a fraud,'" he said. However, the British star admits he gets "fired" up by those who think he will not be able to be a success outside the Harry Potter franchise.

The Harry Potter franchise may have ended this summer, but Daniel Radcliffe has proven he will do no such thing! He went on to score the lead role in the upcoming thriller film The Woman in Black and starred in Broadway's How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and that's why Entertainment Weekly named him Entertainer of the Year!

If you think about it, this was a long time coming for the young actor. For the past ten years, we've watched Radcliffe grow from a shy, little boy to a strong, prominent figure in the industry. He successfully captivated moviegoers all around the world through his compelling, magical journeys as the titular character of Harry Potter. And if all that isn't enough to convince you Radcliffe is ultimately a Hollywood gem, he also recently made Forbes' list of most bankable box office stars. So is there really any wonder why he was crowned with the incredibly prestigious title?

In an earlier interview with MTV News, Radcliffe opened up about his many endeavors over the past year, saying, "It's been a great first year away from 'Potter.' It's been very successful. I've done some work I'm really proud of in that time, particularly onstage in 'How to Succeed.' Just the process of doing it and doing it and doing it, I've got so much better, I think, during the run, as is the way it should be. It's been a great year, but I think next year is the big one for me. 'The Woman in Black' is coming out, and I've also got a couple other things I'll be doing. The next two or three years are going to be pretty important, I think, and if [2011] is not a breakout year, it's a breakaway year."

Other actors honored in EW's annual issue include Adele, the cast of Bridesmaids, Hugh Jackman, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Viola Davis and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin.

And it means that I can't leave the house in a state the way I do."And while Dan revealed he didn't "promise her [Rosie] anything, he said: "I have made it my mission to improve myself. There's certainly progress to be made."

The actor also said his mum helps clean his New York apartment, while he excuses himself from domestic duties because of a busy Broadway performance schedule. Tut tut.

So what does that entail? The 22-year-old told UK's Daily Mail that he needs to have to be able to cook for myself better than I can at the moment." "And it means that I can't leave the house in a state the way I do."

Well messy boys will be messy boys right? And while Radcliffe said he "didn't promise her anything," he added he's made it my mission to improve myself. There's certainly progress to be made."And while most men would be very annoyed by girlfriends telling them what to do, Radcliffe knows what's important. "When you find somebody as cool and as tolerant as my girlfriend then the clear policy is to cling on to them for dear life," he said.

The couple met over a year ago while they were both working on Harry Potter, he in front of the camera and she behind. "She's busy, I'm busy, but we're making it work and it's good," he said. "She's helped me grow up, and I love her very much."
