Eddie Izzard has a new supporter in his bid to become London mayor - Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.
The 51-year-old comedian is seeking the Labour nomination for mayor of London in 2019 .
Daniel, 24, currently starring in Sky Arts drama A Young Doctor's Notebook And Other Stories, told the Radio Times that he was disillusioned by party politics.
"I'm not an affiliate of any party. I do vote - I think it's important. The first time I voted, I felt I had graduated as a full member of society," he said.
"But politics is disillusioning; it's just bickering, it's exhausting. I think the next thing I'm going to get excited about is Eddie Izzard running for London mayor.
"He's really interesting, super-smart and brings a huge amount of integrity - something that we definitely don't have today."
When Daniel, at 18, said he would vote for the Liberal Democrats, he received a letter from Nick Clegg and the pair later met.
"He asked me to come and help out with youth policy and I was like 'No, no, no, I do not speak for my generation!'" he told the magazine.
Daniel, who mentioned voting Labour a few years later, added: "You know what? Like everybody else, I change my mind."
The Kill Your Darlings actor, who became teetotal at 21 after he began drinking every night and having blackouts, drew a little on his own fears to play a morphine-addicted character in A Young Doctor's Notebook.
"I think you can definitely find elements of psychology that are the same - not that I ever was as bad, but I walked away (from alcohol) for a reason," he said.
Daniel, who is in a relationship with actress Erin Darke, said he was now more protective of his private life.
"There was a time when I thought that the closer the public perception of me was to the real me, the happier I would be, so I tried to put as much information out there as I felt safe doing.
"But what I learnt is, more information just leads to further speculation."
He added: "The one piece of advice I would give to anybody getting into any sort of situation where they're recognised is: at all costs retain your sense of humour.
"Try to have fun even if you're in a very mad situation. Premieres and stuff, having people scream at you... it's quite overwhelming. It's lovely in one way, but at the same time it's intimidating."
