The actor said on fame: ‘There’s certain things you can do to make it a lot easier on yourself.’
He continued: ‘If you don’t, for instance, go to premieres that aren’t for a film you’re in, or don’t just turn up at other events, then that’s going to help to not fuel the interest.’
Daniel says he prefers to stay out of the spotlight when he can and remain as low profile as possible. He said: ‘I don’t have Twitter and I don’t have Facebook and I think that makes things a lot easier.’
Speaking about the celeb obsession with twitter and instagram: ‘If you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you’re doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously.’
Some celebs say they use twitter to feel closer with their fans. One Direction claim to use twitter to communicate with their dedicated fan-base who in turn help them make decisions about the band’s future. Many still feel that people reveal too much via twitter and other social networking sites.
Speaking about finding fame at an early age, Daniel admits it was difficult to get used to his level of popularity: ‘When I was 18 or 19 there was definitely a level of frustration around… I did have to think where I went and you do get a little frustrated, but ultimately it’s childish, petulant.’
The talented actor noted that he tries to look at his younger years with perspective, saying he was never deprived of a childhood. He said: ‘Kids who are abused have their childhoods taken away from them.’
