Daniel Radcliffe loves making inappropriate jokes on set.
The 26-year-old actor stars opposite fellow Brit James McAvoy in 'Victor Frankenstein' and has revealed that in a bid to cure his own on-set boredom, he'd resort to making vulgar jokes.
Daniel - who plays the part of Igor Strausman in the new movie - shared: "I'm constantly trying to find jokes in things, even if it's not appropriate."
Meanwhile, James revealed that he and his co-star would often improvise while filming, even though most of their best efforts haven't made the final cut of the horror movie.
The 36-year-old star told Total Film magazine: "A lot of it gets cut, but for every 10 pieces of s***e ad-lib that gets cut, you might just get half of one in. It's worthwhile doing, just to get those."
And James recalled one particularly juvenile on-set prank in which he defaced a piece of artwork.
He said: "The art department drew the most beautiful, vascular arterial picture of the monster. And I'm pretty sure we drew and extra dong on it. But like a proper rubbish extra dong."

The 'Absolutely Fabulous' movie is to feature some of the world's most famous models.
Helen Lederer - who's reprising the role of Catriona in the much-discussed new movie - has admitted the comedy will feature a number of famous faces in cameo roles, although she resisted the temptation to reveal names.
Helen - who was flicking through the film's script as she was talking - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think the names that have been suggested, I'm sure are true. You've got Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, and people like Kathy Burke and myself ... and then you've probably got some people who are, like, models.
"I'm saying the word models to be helpful. There's a bit of italics, underlined in that."
Kate Moss has already been confirmed for the new movie, while the likes of Kim Kardashian West and Cara Delevingne have all also been linked to cameo roles.
Despite this, Helen admitted she's unlikely to recognise many of the stars even if they do appear in the movie.
The actress - who is also close to completing, 'Having It', the follow-up to her best-selling debut novel, 'Losing It' - said: "My problem is that I won't know who anyone is ... I'm not quite so up. I tend to not be really be part of it.
"But oh god, yeah, there will definitely be famous people who serve the story."
'Losing It' by Helen Lederer is out now.

Harrison Ford thinks 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is "incredible".
The Hollywood legend has reprised the role of Han Solo for the JJ Abrams-directed movie and while he's remained tight-lipped about the plot, he's reassured fans it'll do justice to the earlier movies.
He told 'The Jimmy Kimmel Show': "Why would you want to say anything [about it]? I want the audience to experience it. I don't want them to hear about it.
"I can tell you this - it's really, really good. Trust me, it's really good. The new cast... Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac are phenomenal.
"JJ has made an incredible movie. You will not be disappointed at all. I promise you."
Meanwhile, Harrison's on-screen co-star John Boyega confessed recently that he cried when he first read the script for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.
The British actor, who plays the role of Finn in the new movie, said: "When I read the script I cried, and I'm not really a big crier ... I'm more like a frog-in-the-throat kind of guy, who'll try to hold it in and make sure I don't let it all out."

'Alien 5' has been put on hold.
The eagerly-awaited new sci-fi movie has been the source of much speculation in recent months, with reports suggesting it was to be pushed back to make way for 'Alien: Paradise Lost', and its director Neill Blomkamp has taken to Twitter to confirm the news.
The 36-year-old filmmaker - who helmed 'Chappie' earlier this year - wrote: "alien is kinda holding/ pending prometheus 2. So I shall be working on other things... as much as I love the xeno- and Lt ripley (sic)"
The 'Prometheus' sequel - which is a prequel to the 'Alien' films - is being directed by Hollywood legend Ridley Scott, with Naomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender reprising their roles.
Meanwhile, Ridley revealed recently that the new movie would be called 'Alien: Paradise Lost' because it sounds more "intellectual".
He said: "It's going to be 'Alien: Paradise Lost', so 'Prometheus 2' is not really going to be [what it's called].
"It's a book, 'Paradise Lost' ... it sounds intellectual, there's a similarity to it, but that's where it stops."
Quizzed about the title's relevance to the prequel film and the earlier films, Ridley added: "We'll go back to how, why and when the beast was invented. We'll go into the backdoor of the first 'Alien' I did 30 years ago."

Dan Aykroyd thinks Bill Murray has a good "bulls**t detector".
The 63-year-old actor appeared alongside Bill in the 'Ghostbusters' franchise and has revealed he bears no grudges towards the Hollywood star after he declined the chance to appear in a third movie.
Dan said: "I never begrudged him not being in the third movie, though I wrote a nice part for him in 'Hellbent', where the Ghostbusters go to hell.
"He's got very high standards and a high bulls**t detector."
The Hollywood duo are both returning to the franchise for cameo roles in the new female-driven reboot, and Dan is confident the film will do justice to the earlier movies.
Dan told Entertainment Weekly: "None of us lobbied to be in the third movie.
"We all felt that this [director] Paul Feig concept was so strong that we didn't have to be in it. But he called me. And of course, I said, 'I want to help in any way I can.'"
Meanwhile, Bill previously claimed he was reluctant to return to the franchise because the second 'Ghostbusters' movie was less well received than the original.
However, he has since accepted a cameo role alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth in the new movie.

Ryan Reynolds is to star in a movie adaptation of John Kenney's novel 'Truth in Advertising'.
The 39-year-old actor is teaming up with 'Notting Hill' director Roger Michell for the new movie, which tells the story of a lonely advertising executive who has to spend Christmas working overtime.
Producers Lisa Wilson and Myles Nestel told Deadline: "John Kenney has adapted his genius novel beautifully and crafted a smart, funny, modern tale which analyses society's obsession with consumerism.
"His script is in safe hands with Roger Michell who previously explored our media-crazed culture in 'Notting Hill'.
"The charismatic Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the role of the everyday advertising executive trying to find his way in a confusing world."
Ryan is also starring in the eagerly-awaited new 'Deadpool' movie, and the actor is confident the character will thrive among a host of comic book films, including 'Captain America: Civil War' and 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
He previously said: "I mean, Deadpool's greatest superpower is annoying the shit out of people.
"So I imagine that he would spark a heavy wave of ire from any one of those groups."
Ryan also rebuffed claims the 'Deadpool' movie is only being made because of his personal determination.
He said: "There's been a lot of talk about how I was instrumental in getting it made, which isn't true at all.
"I wouldn't say I spent every single day emailing the studio heads at Fox saying, 'You've got to make this movie'."

Sandra Bullock will star in an all-female 'Ocean's Eleven' reboot.
The 51-year-old actress is in talks to take on the leading role in the third incarnation of the movie, with Frank Sinatra starring in the 1960 version and George Clooney in the 2001 remake.
According to The Playlist, 'The Hunger Games' director Gary Ross will helm the project while Olivia Milch has been working on a screenplay.
Late Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub, 'Ocean's trilogy director Steven Soderbergh and star Clooney had been working on the reboot together before Weintraub's death earlier this year.
'Ocean's Eleven' is expected to be Ross' next movie after he completes work on 'The Free State of Jones'.
Sandra and George, 54, have been close friends for years and recently worked on 2013's 'Gravity' and current release 'Our Brand Is Crisis' together.
For 'Our Brand Is Crisis', Sandra actually took on the role originally meant for George, while he produced the film.
George explained it was "languishing in development" until Sandra called him to say she wanted the part, adding: "The minute she called and said she wanted to play the role that had been written as a man, the movie went into production."

Henry Cavill thinks Ben Affleck has done "an absolutely fantastic job" as Batman.
The decision to cast the 43-year-old star in the iconic role was roundly criticised when the news was first announced, but Henry - who appears opposite Ben in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' - has revealed he's brought something entirely fresh to one of the most coveted parts in Hollywood.
He said: "It's funny because no matter who gets announced, people always throw their hands up in the air and complain, that's just the nature of it.
"But Ben has done an absolutely fantastic job. He's brought something to Batman that no one else has brought before."
Meanwhile, Henry revealed that he and Ben became competitive when it came to preparing for their respective roles.
Talking about their gym regimes, Henry told Total Film magazine: "We were training with different people, so there was no direct comparison. But there's always going to be competition between two men if they want to be superheroes.
"It's a matter of making that a nice healthy bit of competition as opposed to negative competition."

Rihanna has been cast in a new Luc Besson-directed sci-fi movie.
The 27-year-old star - whose previous film credits include 'Battleship' and the animated sci-fi comedy 'Home' - has been cast in a "big role" in time-travel movie 'Valérian and the City of a Thousand Planets'.
The news was announced on Instagram by the movie's director, who said: "RIHANNA is in VALERIAN!!!!! ....and she has a big part!! I'm Sooo excited!!! (sic)"
The new sci-fi movie is based on a French graphic novel and will feature a star-studded cast, including the likes of Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen and Dane DeHaan.
Earlier this year, Rihanna's 'Home' co-star Jim Parsons heaped praise on the Bajan star, describing her as "an excessively warm person".
The duo appeared alongside each other in the computer-animated movie, in which she plays a pre-teen girl named Tip.
Recalling the experience of working with Rihanna, Jim shared: "It was wonderful. She's an excessively warm person, a very funny and quick-witted person.
"We had never met before, and I was taken aback at what a wonderful sparring partner she was, both in conversation and to work with, immediately."
