After finally revealing his true identity, Radcliffe said of his disguise: "I did an American accent for the whole time. I even took a rucksack, so I look like I'm just coming to Comic Con. 

"I had a whole look. But it was great ... I took lots of pictures with people who did not know that it was me. I always loved that character. I love the comics, actually, as well.

"I almost got a picture with two girls dressed as Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy, but the moment had passed."

The 25-year old even took a snap of his Spidey-self when putting his face in a poster for Sharknado 2, with Dan adding: "(It) actually looked weirdly good. It looked like Spider-Man is in Sharknado 2."

Radcliffe was present at the event to in San Diego, California, to discuss his new flick Horns, with the actor adding: "A lot of people see me as Harry (Potter) but it only takes one director to see you as somebody else and luckily there have been four or five. I like films that defy genre."

Horns - which also stars Juno Temple, Heather Graham and James Remar - is due for UK release on October 31.
