Daniel Day-Lewis Takes Home BAFTA Award

Daniel Day-Lewis did more than scoop up yet another award for best actor
on Sunday night: he earned a little street cred from his kids.
"I don't know what my lads are going to think of this," the
father of three said holding up his BAFTA award, Britain's answer to
the Oscar, "but when they see me in a photograph with Daniel Radcliffe
they are going to take me really seriously."
The admiration between the two Daniels appeared mutual. The Harry
Potter star told PEOPLE that of all the celebrities milling about the
Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden – including Kate Hudson,
Jessica Biel, Emily Blunt, Sylvester Stallone, and more – Day-Lewis was the star he was most eager to meet. "I do think that he's sort of incredible," Radcliffe said.
