BFFs Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have always supported each other even though it has been years since the last "Harry Potter" movie came out.

Watson, who is currently busy with the "HeForShe" campaign for the United Nations have previously spoken out about gender equality issues still present in the society today.

However, in a recent interview with Nylon, Daniel Radcliffe admitted he thought those gender equality issues were "done."

"I think it's fantastic that she's bringing attention to it and adding to the conversation," Radcliffe said of Emma Watson's work with the UN.

Born to Alan Radcliffe, a literary agent and Marcia Gresham, a casting agent, Daniel Radcliffe said he found the issues "bemusing" because he grew up in a very equal upbringing, leading him to believe those issues were "done."

"I also find it bemusing, honestly, maybe because I have cool parents with a very equal marriage and have had good role models all my life, but I thought this was done," Radcliffe said.

However, the actor said things are improving in Hollywood, noting that on the set of "Swiss Army Man," people were being paid equally, regardless of their gender.

Ever since the "Harry Potter" movies wrapped up in 2011, two of its main stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson went on to do different projects.

Daniel Radcliffe has done brilliantly in different theater productions including Broadway's "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" and indie films like "Kill Your Darlings."

Meanwhile, aside from the "HeForShe" campaign, Emma Watson is about to star in Disney's live action film, "Beauty and the Beast."

Recently, the actress had expressed her "love" for Jennifer Lawrence for speaking out about the gender pay gap in Hollywood through a powerful essay she wrote in Lena Dunham's Blog.

"O Jennifer Lawrence I love you so," Emma Watson wrote on Twitter after reading Lawrence's essay entitled "Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Stars?"

"I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion," Watson wrote, quoting the "Hunger Games" star's essay.
