In a new interview with O, the Oprah Magazine, Daniel Radcliffe revealed that if he had not began acting as a child, his dream job would be... an archaeologist!

"If I could choose another career, I'd be an archaeologist," he told the magazine. "I've always been fascinated by ancient history, and I have a feeling that searching for cool stuff in the dirt would be a pretty fun way to spend a workday."

The 'Harry Potter' star also shared that one of his favorite hobbies is rapping! "You might be surprised to learn that I know all the lyrics to Eminem songs," he said. "His first major album came out when I was 10, and being a fan of his felt kind of rogue, so I went overboard and learned every word. I still know them all."

The 24-year-old is wrapping up his run on Broadway's The Cripple of Inishmaan and will soon star in the film "What If," opposite Zoe Kazan. His recent film work includes Horns and The F Word. The actor will next be seen on the big screen in Frankenstein.

Radcliffe is best known for playing the title role in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise. He made his Broadway debut, to much acclaim, in Equus, and made his Broadway musical debut as J. Pierrepont Finch in the recent revival of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning How to Suceed in Business Without Really Trying.
