Radcliffe could not hide his excitement when Pacquiao was mentioned during the brief one-on-one interview with ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau.
Like many Filipino fans, Radcliffe believes the Pacman can easily destroy Floyd Mayweather Jr. should this dream match ever happen.
"I'm a huge fan of Manny Pacquiao, and I can't wait for the day when he destroys Floyd Mayweather (Jr.) on the ring," Radcliffe said.
Radcliffe loves boxing and he's hoping that someday he would meet his boxing hero.
"Hello, Manny Pacquiao! I think you're fantastic and you seem to be an absolute gentleman as well as being an absolute warrior. And I'm pleased to be able to speak to you even if through a camera," he said.
He joins former US President George W. Bush, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenneger, and action stars Mark Wahlberg, Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme in supporting Pacquiao.
Given a good storyline, Radcliffe would be happy to do a movie in the Philippines. The same would be echoed by his co-star Emma Watson.

Both Radcliffe and Watson have heard so much beautiful things about the Philippines.
"The Philippines is an amazing, amazing country, and [after the films] I hope to come someday. And yeah, maybe... My family's been, actually, but I've never been, so maybe one day," Watson said.
"Absolutely. If a film took me to the Philippines, and if the script was one that I would like to do, and I knew that I was going to work in the Philippines, and if the script was good enough, that would certainly be an added attraction," Radcliffe said.
The blockbuster "Harry Potter" movies, released by Warner Brothers Pictures, enjoy a massive following all over the world including the Philippines.
