    Daniel Radcliffe is "always taking care" of Tracy Morgan

    The 36-year-old actor stars alongside Tracy, 57, in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the new sports sitcom created by Robert Carlock and Sam Means, and Tracy has revealed that he loved working with the Harry Potter star.


    Tracy - who suffered serious injuries in a car accident back in 2014 - told Extra: "I can honestly say off the camera, this man loves me ... He's always grabbing me and making sure I'm okay and everything.

    "He knows my history as far as my health is concerned. So, he's always taking care of me, and I love him for that."

    Daniel also revealed that he immediately developed a strong bond with the comedy star.

    He said: "We met and it was like it was pretty instant, like, you know, there's no one else like Tracy.

    "What he does like can't be learned and it can't be taught and he's just, like, naturally one of the funniest people, definitely, that I've ever worked with."

    The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins follows a former football star and washed-up filmmaker attempting to make a comeback, and Daniel thinks that their on-screen dynamic really works.

    The actor said: "You get these two guys who think they're very different and then eventually find out that they're both coming back from these falls from these various scandals and disgraces that have kind of put them at the bottom of their industries again."

    Tracy also acknowledged that he and Daniel are unlikely on-screen partners.

    The comedy star explained that he enjoys hard work, and he's had enormous fun shooting the TV show.

    Tracy said: "People ain't seen TV like this since Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Worlds collide. I'm not likening us to them, because that's a classic, 'I Love Lucy.' But we want to strive to be there like that. And we work very hard."
