VIDEO: Daniel Radcliffe fails at being a receptionist

Daniel Radcliffe stopped by the Nylon magazine offices in New York and filled in as the receptionist for an hour. Things didn’t go as smoothly as he might have hoped.

The staff weren’t filled in on his arrival and many were surprised to see him as you can imagine. Others simply breezed past him; it’s a busy office.

Being recognised and having photos taken were par for the course for Radcliffe, but the receptionist work had him stumped. He was tasked with calling people for meetings, organising and accepting deliveries, and even handing out the bathroom key.

"I'm struggling under the pressure. I'm cracking already, it's not been good," he said.

Well, at least he managed to keep the Nylon light on in the reception.

Lauren, who Radcliffe was filling in for, must be feeling pretty good about how she handles the day-to-day duties in the office. Radcliffe won’t be taking her job permanently any time soon. Luckily the whole acting thing has worked out pretty well for him so far.
