Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty ImagesHarry Potter heartthrob Daniel Radcliffe, 22, is a one-woman man now, madly in love with his girlfriend Rosie Coker. But he’s sown some wild oats and admits to sleeping with groupies. But only when he was drunk. OK, there goes his Dan’s squeaky clean public image.
He admitted to the Daily Mail: ‘I was always very nervous about the groupie thing. You know, you’re going to have to talk to them afterwards, even if it is a one-night stand.
