Donald Trump may say some strange things, but his ego is fairly predictable. 

When young wizard Daniel Radcliffe appeared on a talk show for the first time at age 11, he apparently met Donald Trump -- who happened to be on the same show -- backstage.

In the clip above, Radcliffe recounts to Seth Meyers how he told Trump that he was nervous and didn't know what to talk about during his interview.

"You just tell them you met Mr. Trump," the Donald replied.

"To this day, I can't even relate to that level of confidence," Radcliffe says. "[To think] 'I am interesting enough to be everyone's story.'"
