Olympic champion Alysa Liu recently had a special moment when she met Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe backstage at the show Today. However, what Radcliffe did when asked if he wanted to wear her gold medal caught people’s attention.
Liu, 20, had just made history at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, where she won two gold medals in figure skating. When the two met backstage, Radcliffe greeted her warmly. He gave her a hug and a high-five while congratulating her on her incredible performance.
At one point, Liu even offered the actor a chance to try on her Olympic gold medal. But the Harry Potter actor politely refused.
“I wasn’t going to ask,” Radcliffe said when she first offered.
Even though Liu told him it was okay, the actor still decided not to wear it.
“It feels like stolen valor,” Radcliffe explained.
Instead, he simply held the medal for a photo while they took selfies together. During their meeting, Radcliffe also shared how much he enjoyed watching Liu skate.
