Australian fans have mistaken Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the wizard boy himself in the Harry Potter movies has been mistaken as the blue-eyed star of the Lord of the Rings movies, Elijah Wood.

"So often people shout out, 'Hey Frodo!' as they think I'm Elijah - who frankly is a very good-looking guy so I take it as a compliment," Daniel Radcliffe was cited as saying.

"I admit when a couple of people have put autograph books under my nose I've signed them, 'Much love Elijah Wood'. It would be a bit deflating for me if I told the truth and they said, 'Don't bother signing it then'."

The sixteen-year-old boy admits to signing autographs as Wood just to keep the fans happy, according to media reports.

Radcliffe is in Australia filming December Boys, in which he plays an orphan fighting to get his adopted parents' attention.
