Daniel Radcliffe spilled the beans on the exact moment he realised who his celebrity crush is.

The Harry Potter star, 35, like many of us, has a celebrity crush.

There are countless intimate and romantic movie and TV scenes out there; from Jack and Rose in Titanic, to entire 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet.

While both of these films are all about romance, one scene that left hearts swooning - including Daniel's - happens in a comic book movie.

We’re clearly talking about Spider-Man and the infamous upside down kiss between the web-slinger, played by Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane.

In what could have been a very awkward moment, with Tobey’s Spider-Man hanging upside down in the rain while Kirsten, who is standing upright, plants a kiss on his lips.

It's one of cinema’s most romantic moments — and it left an impression on young Daniel.

Speaking to Elle magazine, the Kill Your Darlings actor named Kirsten Dunst as his celebrity crush, and said this Spidey scene in particular is the reason as to why.

“The kiss in Spider-Man was enough for a lot of young men,” he said.

As we all know, Daniel has partaken in creating movie magic a number of times himself. But despite listing the Spider-Man kiss as one of his top movie moments, he hasn’t tried to replicate it.

“I don't know how I would do that,” he added. “Hanging upside down from, like, a bar or something? I could do that.”

And just in case you were wondering (of course you are) Daniel would have been around 12 or 13 when this Spider-Man film came out in 2002.

The kiss is also a major testament to movie magic, as the Sam Raimi-directed flick left its main star feeling quite uncomfortable...

Tobey previously revealed that although the kiss looks spicy, the actual moment was very far from it.

“There was rain pouring down my nose … and then Kirsten pulls the mask up to [my nose] and it’s blocking the air passage there, so I couldn’t breathe," he told T-Online via The Hollywood Reporter.

“And then she’s kissing me, blocking the air passage there, so there’s nowhere else to breathe.”

He added: “It was really tough, actually. It was really challenging. They’d yell cut, and I would be [gasping for air], totally out of breath. It was torture. It makes you realise how important oxygen is.”

Whizzing across New York on a web might be out of the question, but Daniel said at the time of the interview that he hasn’t done a big romantic gesture for a partner.

“I haven't sent a private jet for somebody. I haven't had any situation in my life dramatic enough to warrant a really big gesture. There's still time for me to parachute off the Sydney Harbor Bridge.”

We would love to see that happen.
