Short But Pointless: The Cassi McKay & Daniel Radcliffe Story

Yesterday we told you that Daniel Radcliffe has been moaning into his bat’s tail soup (or whatever wizards drink; probably more like large ales) about some Australian chick he made eyes at/with but never got a number for.

Well! A handful of potential moony-eyed ladies were narrowed down, and the Daily Telegraph decided that pretty blonde Cassi McKay is the most likely candidate – just don’t tell Dan she’s taken, or he might have an asthma attack!

“He was looking at me a bit and I guess I was batting my eyelids back,” Ms McKay, a trumpet player who has performed at the AFIs, told The Advertiser. “We did make a lot of eye contact with each other. David Campbell introduced us and I got to talk to him briefly.”

Although she is committed to her current relationship, Ms McKay said she would be keen to organise a second audience with Radcliffe while she was in the UK.

“I’ve told my boyfriend about him and I’d be keen to meet up,” she said.

The actor, who lamented his inability to get the mystery girl’s phone number on the night, has also not ruled out re-establishing contact.

A trumpet player, eh, eh? Know what we mean?!

Er, neither do we.

In any case, McKay goes on to say that she’s not looking to become famous, just that her mum read Radcliffe’s lonely heart interview and told her daughter it sounded like he was talking about her. Aww, thanks Mum!
