Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says he tried to emulate veteran actor Michael Caine even before starring with him in this week’s Now You See Me 2.

Now You See Me 2 is releasing in theatres on June 17.

The 26-year-old actor, who shared screen space with Caine in Now You See Me 2, for the first time, said he tried to emulate him even before meeting him in person, reported Femalefirst.

“On my first Harry Potter film I was working with friends of Michael’s who told me stories about him, they said he walked onto the set and by the end of that day he learned everyone’s name. I tried to do that as best I can as well.
