Taking on Vanity Fair's infamous lie detector test, Daniel was asked some intense questions by his Merrily We Roll Along co-stars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendes. Jonathan asked: "Do you ever Google yourself?” and Daniel said: "Yes." When Jonathan quipped, "Aw, Dan, so honest", Daniel replied: "I mean there’s no point fucking lying is there, Judd?"

Grilling Daniel further, Jonathan added: "Have you ever read fanfiction about yourself?" and Daniel confessed: "Yes, aloud on TV." Daniel then revealed even more adding: "I’m obviously aware there’s a lot of like shipping of Harry and Draco as characters together. So, I’ve read some of that."

Jonathan didn't understand what shipping is so Daniel explained: "Shipping is like when you want two characters to get together, for a relationship."

Pretty legendary if you ask me.

Speaking on AOL's In the Know in 2019, Tom Felton revealed that he has also read Harry and Draco fanfiction. He said: "I feel like I've seen some fanfics along that line. I've seen some pictures. Some alarming ones."

He then added: "Harry was constantly crushing on Draco. He just couldn't hide it."
