Actor Daniel Radcliffe preferred not having his own trailer on the set of low-budget Allen Ginsberg biopic "Kill Your Darlings" because it forced the cast to hang out together and bond in between takes.

The "Harry Potter" star, who portrays the late poet in the new independent drama, said the minimalist set helped the actors to build up a rapport with his co-stars, reported Ok! magazine.

"We didn't have trailers on this one, but that actually did a great thing because it meant all the actors just hung out in green rooms and we got to know each other really, really well in a way that you don't always on films...
 

"It's my least favourite thing that I hear actors say, when they go, 'Film sets are so boring, you have to wait in your trailer all the time.' I'm like, 'You don't have to, you can actually go on set and engage with people if you like!,'" he said.

The film also stars Michael C Hall, Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, David Cross and Kyra Sedgwick.
