“It was my first time in New York,” Radcliffe recalled. “I had some concept of who he was, but not really.”

When Trump, who had just appeared on “Today” himself, asked the young actor how he was doing, Radcliffe shared that he was nervous. That’s when the real estate mogul and future presidential candidate imparted these these words of wisdom: “You just tell them you met Mr. Trump!”

“I can’t even relate to that level of confidence,” Radcliffe, who is starring in the new off-Broadway play “Privacy,” told Meyers.
