When Drew Barrymore asked Daniel Radcliffe about crushing on her and Cameron Diaz on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the star owned up to it. “Yes, I did have posters of both [of] you,” he told the host, per People. Barrymore was visibly giddy, calling it “so cool” and telling her fellow actor that she was going to “milk this for all it’s worth.” She went on to tell Radcliffe that in honor of his teenage feelings, she and Diaz had collaborated on a special video.
In the video, Barrymore teased Radcliffe’s upcoming appearance on the show, while Diaz sported an ever-growing collection of “Harry Potter” gear — before the pair eventually jumped on a broomstick and “flew” away. Radcliffe loved it. “I mean, seriously, if you could tell [a] 10-year-old or 11-year-old me … that would happen one day … This is a weird, cool life moment. Thank you, Miss Diaz,” he responded.

Apparently, the actor’s childhood feelings for Diaz and Barrymore were an open secret on the set of “Harry Potter.” In his memoir “Beyond the Wand” (via Insider), actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) explained that Radcliffe brought a picture of Diaz to assist him during filming. As the producers were increasingly asking them to look at different things during a broomstick scene, “We chose pictures of something or somebody close to our hearts. Daniel Radcliffe had a picture of a particularly beautiful Cameron Diaz,” Felton wrote.
