Daniel Radcliffe began acting as a child.

However, if it hadn't panned out, the actor had another dream job in mind.

"If I could choose another career, I'd be an archaeologist," he told O, the Oprah 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."

Fans would miss the "Harry Potter" star too much if he left Hollywood.

Now starring in the film "What If," Radcliffe, 28, who has had two stints on Broadway already, is finally feeling like an acting veteran. That doesn't mean, however, that he doesn't make time for other hobbies, like rapping.

"You might be surprised to learn that I know all the lyrics to Eminem songs," he revealed. "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."
