Daniel Radcliffe is totally in with the kid cast of Stranger Things. And vise versa.

During his Wednesday appearance on the BBC Radio1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, Radcliffe revealed that he's a fan of the Netflix show.

When Grimshaw revealed that Gaten Matarazzo, Millie Bobby Brown and Caleb McLaughlin were scheduled to appear on Thursday's show, he geeked out:

"Oh my god, OK, can you, like, just tell them that I think they're amazing and also just say, like, that as a person who started out acting really young, how are they so good?" he laughed. "I wasn't that good when I was a kid. Have the decency to be less good at acting, please, when you're so young."

On Thursday, Grimshaw played the clip for the young Stranger Things stars who promptly freaked out themselves:

"He says 'I wasn't that good when I was younger,'-- he was Harry Potter," Brown said in awe. "Let's just review...He was doing pretty fine."
