- Daniel Radcliffe has one of the most well known faces in the world following the success of the Harry Potter series, and with that comes the inability to go anywhere without feeling watched, which comes with self-awareness and insecurity. Daniel talks about his journey through that, and ultimately where he finds his true happiness.

I'm so glad that he didn't regret being Harry.
Me too
Captain Chris Potter a lot of child stars regret their roles. Read up on Jake Lloyd, the guy who played Anakin in Episode 1.
scholargrizz or Robert Pattinson for Twilight, he hated it😂
I'm sure the millions he made from it dosen't make him regret it, same can't be said for poor rupert grint, selling icecreams out of a van lol
SAME
When Daniel sees the title:
"Hey My Eyes Aren't Glistening With The Ghost Of My Past?!." 😂
Seriously.... I was not ready to watch it... because of the title... kinda forced to do it!
🤣classic 😂
Oh man... this is gold...
Only serious Harry Potter fans would get that quote ;)!!!
Ohhh my friend, you just made my day. XDDD
Anytime I see Daniel, Rupert or Emma I get this strange warm feeling like I'm seeing an old school friend; when you're around the same age as the actors when the film series began, you kind of grow up with them. I'm glad he was able to overcome it
Same . Still can’t believe Rupert is a dad now.
Did his age line up w Harry’s for the movies? I heard that he was 13 for movie 1 but I’m not sure
I'm 18 and that's how I feel whenever I see the Stranger Things cast. I guess there's always gonna be that group for every generation.
@@jevonjordan681 same
@@Wakeman8791 When the first film was released in Nov 2001, the 3 main characters were 11 (and me too, BTW). Daniel was born in July 1989, Emma in Apr 1990 and Rupert in Aug 1988.
A grossly misleading title - it's like Rita Skeeter wrote it.
Haha
Not really, though
@@vinnybastos yes really ttho
@@ahardcorejedi2968 the title doesn't even specifically say he is an "alcoholic", (which is basically what he is describing), or uses the word "addiction" (which is the feeling of dependence he talks about) to specifically avoid being overtly sensationalist!
@@ahardcorejedi2968 Not at all though
He's just such a self-reflective and self-aware person, I really admire him for dealing with everything so well.
this described everything
am i on the opposite side of his life? Never got famous, feeling trapped with no friends, angry at life and my father for not supporting me, feeling like im a failure or i could have tried harder/smarter....id like just a little, small bit of success, have people like me, maybe even fans... i must be doing something wrong.
Was just about to write the exact same. Very honest interview!
You see him deal so well now, but I’m sure it took a lot of work to get to that point. Tho it does seem he took it in stride more so than other actors like he
@@Stufftough I wish you good luck with your success. Find a hobby you like, which has a local interest group. Try to be more chilled in conversations when u make friends.
Remember: Try to ask more questions, than to speak about yourself. Do follow up questions on their answers. This is easier if you are really interested in the topics. Example: "You worked as a cashier? Oh my god, you must be through hell and back. What is the craziest costumer story you can remember?". If it comes to a situation where you have different opinions, stand to your point, but respect the points of your conversation partner, try to follow their arguments and point out where you would make other assumptions. In the end don't try to force the other side to say you are right.
And if you want to learn something, maybe just for the small success for yourself, take some online-course about a topic which interests you. I'm doing a course about the Unity-Engine right now and I love it to see myself evolve through it :)
I’m really happy that Daniel wasn’t just a child star. He didn’t do just Harry Potter and then fall of the face of the earth. He continues to do what he loves and works hard to not be known for one thing. Good on him. Love him.
Arguably they all did. Good for them!
UR GORGEOUS
He was also brilliant in Equuis.
He was pretty good in imperium
@@conforzo He was good in Imperium, not a stellar film but definitely watchable and he did a good job. Same deal with the romantic comedy film whose name I forgot, he was very good in that. And I didn't feel like I was watching Harry Potter acting at all.
What Harry and Dan share in common:
-Struggle with fame
-Honest & humble
- "i'D lIkE An oWl-"
Don't you dare compare Harry to disgusting misogynist Dan!
@@madampluto3092 LMAO I CANT
@@Naz-gx9pk He's unworthy of that iconic role.
MadamPluto I’m sorry how is that
Sorry, everyone😫
I didnt know😓
Just posted it for that last bit😌
Can you imagine Kristen Stewart and Daniel Radcliffe interviewing one another?.. the level of anxiety!
They'd be an interesting couple.
Is Kristen Stewart like a real life Reeta Skeeter?
@@olegdobinda8354 Where do you get that from? Skeeter was an asshole. Kristen Stewart just seems to be withdrawn and kinda awkward.
@@promitroy95 She's probably stoned af, I doubt she's a hardcore druguser but she seems like Harrison Ford-like stoner, really stoned all the time or just finished being really stoned. Apparently Harrison Ford smokes weed like fucking crazy and has gotten to be more of a stoner since the 90s, but he turned in some good performances in the 90s but yeah he seemed bored, and lacking ambition towards the 2000s, I'm all for smoking weed but too much all the time can ruin one's ambition, Tarantino was right about that.
Why? Daniel is not anxious, he's actually the opposite - talkative, honest, comfortable. What are you on?
Both Daniel Radcliffe and Harry potter struggled with fame!
Kevin Luna that's crazy to think, honestly
good observation
Shut up Seamus
Mind blown
With that kind of detective work, you must’ve learned it from Harry (he’s a terrible detective). And by detective I don’t mean specifically a cop, I mean someone who solves crimes. Like Batman and Sherlock Holmes. I’ve said too much.
Seeing the title of this video reminds me of a rita skeeter article
Yes!!
Bahaha apt! 😂
Omg hahaha its true
Yeah, haha!
Yeah...
I don’t think people give him enough credit for going through as Harry Potter. I can’t imagine the pressure and worry he had as a child, teen and adult. Yet he has so much gratefulness and is so honest about the struggles he had
He was good on Woman on White Too.
@@marjoriecoey3418 woman in black*
“You’ve suddenly found yourself the breadwinner for your family so an infrastructure of people are relying on you”
Have literally never thought about this, but of course young people with money will give that money to their family who then rely on them and then they can become the “breadwinner” at such a young age... genuinely never considered this
Livvy same. I can’t imagine the pressure to take care of your parents as a child. Especially if they decided to start living a lavish lifestyle.
Just like home alone child actor. Poor him. But he got much better now
Livvy Happens a lot. People like Gary Coleman end up suing their parents for emancipation because their parents have been squandering it all unchecked.
Shia Labeouf's "Honey Boy" dives right into this
Mayim Bialik went through something similar. She said a lot of her money that she earned on Blossom was put into a trust fund that, by law, she couldn't touch until she was 18.
what a great, well-spoken guy. couldn’t imagine what it must be like for him still to this day having played one of the most iconic roles in cinema
the most iconic roles in cinema? bruh. its Harry Potter not Citizen Kane
Ben T look I’m a film snob myself and I don’t consider the Harry Potter films to be masterpieces, but they are fun movies and Harry Potter is no doubt an iconic character. Everybody knows the name Harry Potter, everyone knows the face. For you to argue Harry Potter isn’t one of the most iconic film characters is just foolishness
@@bent5732 i can guarantee you the name Harry Potter is immediately more recognisable than Citizen Kane
@@bent5732 who tf is citizen Kane? Bruh its Harry potter. Ask people about Harry Potter and Citizen Kane. At least 80% people must know Harry Potter more than Citizen Kane.
@@bent5732 Yeah, in Cinema probably, but Harry Potter is still one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time.
It's pretty amazing how well-adjusted he became, considering the circumstances. His parents did pretty well.
Remarkably well. Much credit to he himself too.
It probably helped that he had down to earth friends his age on set and lots of older respectable actors to look up to and who treated them like kids. The extremely respectable Alan Rickman and Michael Gambon put something that made a fart sound in Daniel Radcliffe's sleeping bag as a prank for goodness sake! They were treated like kids on set, not celebrities, which really helped
It’s a good thing they didn’t die in a car crash.
Why would you assume his parents did well?
Parents have little to do with how you grow up and become. My parents are the nicest people and raised me right but I'm still a scumbag lol
Daniel Radcliffe always comes across as such a genuine down to earth guy. Really pleased he's so open about these issues as it can encourage others to seek help if they need it.
He's one of the actors whose interviews I love to watch most because he does seem so down to earth and self-aware. Many actors have good and funny stories to tell but I can never really connect with them on a more personal level.
Thanks
The title is click bait. It’s a good interview but it made it seem like he was an alcoholic and that wasn’t expressed in the video.
Jimmy Brooks he’s been very open about his struggles with alcoholism. Look it up.
@@centerstagestudios285 Okay but the video titled "daniel radcliffe's struggle with alcohol" should actually talk about a struggle with alcohol. You shouldn't have to look up what the title alludes to that should be in the video.
I know tho....shame on them for titling it that way when he spoke of so many different things.
@@RebeckaSarkozy The thing is this video isn't about any kind of struggle with alcoholism. It's about his struggle with social anxiety.
@@louis8487 exactly. That's what I'm saying. They should have titled it "struggles with social anxiety*. They just wanted to capitalize off of the small detail of drinking alcohol. Dirty of them, I say.
He kinda described social anxiety
Zzul Ma exactly, we get this but we don’t have all the success and money to ease the pain.
Nt4ubs you also don’t have hundreds of people trying to get an autograph and take a picture with you every day..
Nt4ubs or the fame to increase that social anxiety to “not only do I feel a lot of people staring and judging me, but many of them actually are”
alvareo92 man that is so true
Kind of but we shouldn't medicalise and diagnose every emotion. People's feelings change over time so diagnosing something now might be a self-fulfilling prophecy for later.
Not famous at all, and I still feel watched whenever I enter a public place.
Same, it’s because I have bad anxiety .
Same
Paranoia.
It's because you're so sexy and handsome Ben. We cant help but stare at you 😍😍
Since I’m a girl, people think I’m being narcissistic when I say I feel like I’m being watched, but really I feel judged, drained, and anxiously out of breath. When I don’t work, I want to just be a hermit.
Everyone's complaining that the title is clickbait because he's not an alcoholic. True, he's not . . . anymore. He described a little of what he went through here, but he did really struggle with it for a couple of years. He doesn't remember some of the filming of a couple of the movies due to his heavy drinking - he'd come in to work, heavily drunk - and if I remember correctly, he hates watching Half-Blood Prince now because he can pinpoint the exact scenes where "yep, I'm drunk there. And there. And there." and he hates it. He's been sober since 2010.
Edit - found it:
“I can honestly say I never drank at work on Harry Potter,” he said. ”I went into work still drunk, but I never drank at work. I can point to many scenes where I’m just gone. Dead behind the eyes.”
you know, that’s actually something i always noticed about his performance in half blood prince and i always wondered if there was a reason
Once you’re an alcoholic, you always are. Just a matter of time being sober. So maybe he saw himself going that direction and stopped so he wouldn’t get to the addiction phase
interesting. now see I've long regarded as far as the nature of the adaptation itself, HBP is the second worst of the series (behind OOTP), but Daniel apparently phoning in most of his performance by way of blackouts isn't really one of the reasons I had in mind for that at all.
That explains why HBP is his least favourite potter movie. It's good to know he's sober now and focuses on his health.
@@kevinw712 I think GoF had a worse adaptation compared to OOTP.
I was his fan since i was 6 years old. now i'm 22 years old and I'm so proud being his fan
Same
SAMMEEE
Love the interview, hate the title.
Amoraszune I agree 100%. Kinda of click bait to make it sound like Daniel has a drinking problem, very glad to hear how aware of his celebrity and the problems that come with it are
Why? A lot of people struggle with drugs. Need to take away the stigma that it’s so shameful, it’s a part of life for a lot of people.
@@starcity751 Because the title is presenting him as an alcoholic when he isn't, and was just giving an example of how fame can effect your psyche.
Dexiant spot on. Media always point at the mistakes like a haha
I don't know what y'all's definition of a drinking problem is, but he was absolutely describing one. Especially with the process he talked about of having to make himself stop with the help of people who cared for him. I feel like you have to have an incredibly narrow and biased idea of what constitutes a drinking problem if you don't think the things he's talking about qualify.
The thing that's wrong about the title isn't that it's factually inaccurate, but that it's exploitative. He did struggle with alcohol, but they're presenting it in this way just so people will click. It's tacky, not incorrect.
Daniel Radcliffe is just an incredible human being, the best Harry Potter we could ever get!
He's the Chosen One.
He will bring balance...
You have to admire him for dealing with the overwhelming amount of attention he got for that role - I think I would have had a meltdown!
Or just a normal human being
the Ginger bloke would have been better
I met Daniel at the Heathrow airport. I was starstruck and he being gentleman, forwarded his hand for a handshake.. my memory with the Harry Potter!!❤️
I like this guy. I wish he was my friend
Stay safe
Well I'm a girl n I want to be his friend as well... He gives off this nice good friend vibe that u can chat to about different n good topics that r deep, no?😇
I wish he was my brother ...
@@hermione_at_hogwarts isn't he your brother inlaw?
I wish YOU were my friend
"You must've had some of the most awkward moments in history!"
"oooooh yeahhh...." *ptsd stare*
Harry has seen some shit
I was gonna comment this lmao, my mans is having 'Nam flashbacks
@@shanearnold7781 Lol dude
I think Dan couldn't believe his British ears because of the "awkwardest" usage. 😂😂
Right?!?
The thousand yard stare 😂
He avoids eye contact so much when he's talking about his experiences. You can see it is something really hard for him just by that.
Kinda, but it's normal that people look down or up, left or right, when recalling details of memories, or feelings. Then he is making eye contact when explaining, and is no longer recalling details. I'm fun at parties btw
Lol, u don’t know anything for sure bro
Maishen is kul melcosta92 and 159 other people as well don’t know what they’re talking about. Hahaha!
Philip Whitcomb yea, that’s what i said?
@@MV-rt4hy lmao yeah he's just agreeing with you
Seems like a top top guy. Can't even imagine the shit he has to endure being so famous. Being so young he no doubt had no idea about the cons of it all.
I've met Daniel at around the time he was on stage with Equus in London and ... I remember he was so incredibly knowledgeable about theatre and acting and just totally passionate about art in general. He definitely had a brightness about him and the sense that he was going to stay around to do this... so great to see him in this interview !
Daniel has such clear, healthy eyes..
inkoftheworld
What’s that supposed to mean?
he has his mothers eyes
Tambini
Well, if he used contacts he may not have so clear and healthy eyes now
Although I do get frustrated about that all the time in the movies
Ragnar Skarpsvärd
That could also be the case of course
Visine
The majority of the child cast from Potter turned out great.
Do you think it has anything to do w them being English vs. American?
lindsey bailes honestly I think its the environment they were in. Its rare to have one cast on set with such loving directors and crew. They got lucky
lindsey bailes No, they said that the cast and crew and everyone were awesome. That can be difficult to find.
I think the pretty consistent filming schedule helped too. They didn't get alot of time between films to get in trouble.
a lot of the cast and crew stayed the same so to have that familiar environment for ten years probably really helped.
Daniel is so down to earth and I love his humbleness and am so glad that fame did not ruin him and he’s doing what he truly loves while also making as much time as he can to spend time with and meet his loving fans. He’s so selfless and such a beautiful soul. I’ve always wanted to meet him and thank him for bringing all the Harry Potter films to life and many more. 😊
Until he (and Emma Watson) both publicly apologise to JK Rowling for throwing her under the woke bus, my only conclusion is that "fame" absolutely "ruined" them.
The part about rich people grabbing him reminded me of Lockhart in diagon alley (chamber of secrets)
This man deserves the best in his life
Michael Anderson Why not?
Michael Anderson well if we’re using that logic, why do they deserve the best life either? I asked why not because there’s no reason he shouldn’t have a good life, and there’s no reason why a pizza guy shouldn’t have a good life. A lot of people deserve good lived. Asking Katja B “why” infers you really don’t want Radcliff to have a good life, or you’re wondering why he should.
Michael Anderson it’s not about what you have in life. It’s about being happy and being a good person
Michael Anderson yeah money is linked to survival hence happiness but finding happiness without money is something everyone should strive for
Michael Anderson essentially yes lmao
He speaks so eloquently. He is a good human. Bless you Dan.
He doesn't. People here overvalue his speaking ability. He uses the word 'like' every 5 seconds.
Xehanort11 I was about to say the same thing haha
not really. Any English accent is interpreted as eloquent by Americans
Xehanort11
He stutters a lot too
So speaking well makes u a good person?
Daniel is such a genuinely sweet guy. I'm not famous and I can't imagine the situations that he's been through but I can definitely relate to feeling watched and feeling out of place when your emotions or actions feel "wrong". I'm very happy that he's grown to be such a caring and kind person not for anyone else's sake but for his. It is so important to be truly down to earth nowadays just to keep one's sanity
Just looking at this makes me realize how strong Emma, Rupert, and Daniel and all the others must have been for pushing through and preserving through the hard times because by them doing that, it helped others. There is no way to explain the kind of gratitude I have. I mean it might sounds pathetic but Harry Potter was the only thing that got me through the day when my parents were fighting and I was being excluded at school. But I really think that I was only able to feel this connection to the movies and the series in particular because they all stuck through it, which has virtually never been done before. I mean if we all just take a step back to realize just how amazing these actors and actresses are, it's unfathomable. So thank you to people like Daniel who pushed through because you didn't just set an example by being Harry Potter, you set an example for being you.
Nicely put. 💯
Until all of them publicly apologise to JK Rowling for throwing her under the bus, they'll be intolerable to me.
Daniel Radcliffe will always be one of my favorite celebrities ever. So kind-hearted, intelligent and genuine.
Daniel R. and Robert Pattinson have made it out of the curse of childhood celeb-dom and fame with their wits about them and major talent to boot. These guys deserve respect for still being sane.
@@hazel5634 Hence using "fame" which he received after acting in the Twilight franchise.
@@Sab_MJsMama it's completely different when Dan was 10 and Rob was a grown up.
Look at Freddie Highmore. He's wholesome
@@uunuswa2496 It is different which is why I also included "fame".🙄🙄 That level of fame is toxic for anyone and fans don't help because they see you as almost not human. You're typecast in the role that made you famous for the rest of your life/career and breaking out of that is tough. This is why so many celebs implode. Fame does a mind fuck on these folks and we are regular folks don't understand. I feel like these guys are always gonna struggle with it but they're lucky. They obviously have coping mechanisms to keep them in line.
sab walkswithpurpose well a lot of people who read your sentence will assume that you think "Rob has made out of the curse of *childhood celeb-dom and fame* "
He is such a neat person. He talks to you like your just another one of his pals..So happy he wasn't a child star who burned out at a young age. He recognized he has a problem and he dealt with it. He is very Self AWARE! And HARRY POTTER IS EPIC! Keep doing what your doing Daniel. So very proud of you. I'm 62 days sober...
I love the way this interview was carried out. It was very respectful towards Daniel and didn't involve any awkward or invasive questions. Daniel was able to bring up his struggle with alcohol on his own rather than an interviewer bringing it up out of nowhere. And you can really tell that both of them were genuinely listening to what the other had to say. I'm really happy Daniel was treated like an actual person throughout this video and not like the way people treat him in public.
His parents raised him well. He's very well-adjusted given his experiences as Harry Fricking Potter.
You’re my besties favourite author!She loves your books!She also refuses to let me touch them,which I find really weird.Her name is Ivee Jax!
That's so rude as his parents died the day he got that scar⚡
Shiva surya He’s talking about Daniel Radcliffe’s REAL PARENTS, not Lily and James.
@@friendusesthisaccountnocom9928 Many retarded half-wits still doesn't get that Harry Potter is just a fictional character, while Daniel Radcliffe is real.
MadamPluto shiva was clearly making a joke, just chill
1:06
You can see Daniel Radcliffe actually remembering those moments.
and at 0:20
It's traumatic for some people :( and to see that he overcame everything and got his shit together. I hope anyone going through this watches this interview and hopefully it encourages them to also clean up. Because your life matters.
Why is this black and white? I want to see Daniel’s beautiful blue eyes!!
They're green! Oh wait...
You know, I don't think anyone's ever mentioned this, but they look just like his mother's.
Because that's the most important aspect of this interview 🙄
@@user-pm7mt7ho9w LMAO
It was filmed before colour was invented.
Daniel: in New York no one cares who I am
If I saw Daniel in New York (which is where I live) I would 100% care
Yes, it is more that people are used to seeing stars in public, thus they are much more aware of how they are just normal people who probably won't want to talk to fans sometimes
Same I'm from New York too, and I'm pretty sure that rule doesn't apply to Harry Potter 🙃
And if I saw him, it didn't mean anything to me. Nothing against him. It's just Harry Potter movies has no impact on me. My point is it truly matters if you are fan. Some actors matters for some people and for others different actors.
Tbh I’ve literally never understood whatsoever why people want to be famous, couldn’t think of anything worse.
MIKEE well it has many upsides and many downsides.
Being famous means you get alot of stuff free, you also get sponsors left and right and that = Free stuff and tons of money. Depends on what you do but all in all being famous can be good but also bad. You dont have to think about not having money anymore.
Lots of pressure, can lead to drugs if you let yourself, You can't really be in public without being unsafe/followed, alot of stress probably and also it can be very very hard to control, you can't really stop the fame, and whatever you do you will be famous. Some people fall off on purpose and regret it later because they start struggeling with money etc, and they cant regain fame.
Some people love attention, touring, being in the spotlight and there are alot of sober, happy famous people. If you know how to keep it balanced, and if you dont try to push it away or force it, i think it will be fine to be famous, just adapt to your new lifestyle.
Maybe people want to be famous for the MONEY... HOOKERS...COCAINE...CARS... HOOKERS... COCAINE... COCAINE... HOOKERS, mostly for the hookers and cocaine 😂✌️
Because some people really do like the attention. I'd rather be wealthy without being famous. That sounds like the life lol
I can’t imagine trying to go grocery shopping or getting off of an airplane, and some jackass trying to take my picture.
The illusion of becoming immortalized
Gosh, it sounds awful. Crippling. The intense self-awareness and scrutiny. The huge expectations. And the feeling that you should be enjoying it and appreciate it, which probably amplifies the first two feelings when you start to feel guilt for the negative thoughts you are suppressing. No thank you.
Having blinding wealth, sounds terrible
@@trevyn421 Yeah because money is well-known for fixing people's problems.
I think you're proving my point a bit. Cheers.
@@RAINE____ I was being serious, so ye first rounds on you
@@trevyn421 Not so much the wealth part, but definitely the "fame" part. Wealthy people can easily blend into crowds and such without much fuss. Being a world known movie star, how the hell would you get away from that? You would have to go to the most remote places in the world and even then there is a chance someone will recognize you.
STFU
the second half of this video is so interesting when daniel talks about how theres a stigma to feeling sad as a successful person. super intelligent dude
Wow, it's so awesome how he's willing to be vulnerable and talk about his past problems. That takes a lot of humility. And I'm so glad he was able to overcome his struggle with alcohol. Daniel seems like a really good guy
Until he publicly apologises to JK Rowling for throwing her under the bus, his "good guy" status is non-existent.
@@blackmore4 Good to know someone’s defending a transphobe. 👍🏻
We dont deserve Radcliffe
No, we don't. But we need Radcliffe. ;-)
Hylian Batman maybe you dont
Tobi K hollup people rly insult people for the fun of it
You may not but I do
This clickbait is appalling given this actor is an absolute world class talent, self aware genuine human being who is responsible to those who look up to him - to insinuate he has a drinking problem is awful. He categorically says he had an issue when he went out drinking, not that he takes vodka with his cereal in the mornings....
He has spoken in the past many times about his alcohol problems.
He has said he doesn’t even remember filming a couple of the Harry Potter movies because he was so drunk on set every day. Now he doesn’t drink alcohol at all.
How is it clickbait? It's exactly the topic being discussed. I think you don't understand what clickbait is.
Trent Gentry merely because someone says they have a problem
With something doesn’t mean they actually have a problem with that thing - millennials in particular often have a bizarre spartan obsession with treating their body like its some kind of temple when in reality lifestyle choices are unlikely to make much real difference to your longevity within reason. They also oftentimes want to describe themselves as having overcome some kind of struggle or obstacle so as to take on the clothes of victimhood for sympathetic effect. It’s interesting you rarely hear these types of people discussing these obstacles as they are in the actual process of dealing with them. It almost seems like they are trying to both have the sympathy of victim status while preserving an aura of Spartan perfection: “that was me then; now I am perfect and will live forever as I constantly hydrate and have a stick up my ass” .....
Obvs don’t know this kid from
Adam but he’s less than 30 and I suspect his “dangerous” drinking experiences were simple young persons’ experimentation that he would have grown out of in any event. I highly doubt he is an alcoholic on any rational interpretation of that term which term is anyway of dubious scientific validity in many cases
@@kimcass4440 I can tell you this he does not even go to parties of any event. I have seen him at movie premiers and etc. I have gone to after parties and Daniel never goes. I went to one of his tv show parties in NYC he was not there twice in a row he has never shown up, I was in Toronto he never went to his movie after party 3 times he did that. He goes to the red carpet that's it does the interviews and then goes back to his hotel/apartment.
I absolutely loved how Daniel kept talking about his struggle with alcohol and his way out in such a casual way, while the interviewer seemed more and more shocked. I think, in our (younger) generation, we really have made that step to break the stigma of any mental struggle and decide to TALK about it, rather than pretending everything is okay and thus leading everybody else on to believe that everything was okay, such problems didn't exist and anyone facing these problems was loser and should keep them a secret, too. Daniel proves to be a really great role model here. I'm proud to be a part of this generation and glad he made it out the other end :)
"You don't have the right to feel sad"
Ouch
Daniel Radcliffe and Saoirse Ronan in a film together would be amazing! Both funny quirky characters, great actors and would probably look beautiful as a couple
oh yes agreed
I'm getting Harry x Luna vibes 😍
Omg yes.
I'd love to see Daniel and Saoirse in a film together. Their personalities would be perfect together! And I could play a part in the movie too lol
SHUT UP
I just love this guy,
Give you a strong hug man
Thanks
What he said about self-imposing expectations on himself was interesting. We’re not all actors trying to live up to that, however we all can relate with having something we need to live up to in our lives that stops us from dropping the charade and being ourselves.
I love the Harry Potter films but Daniel has done some really interesting, great work since then and it deserves more recognition.
right!! horns and guns akimbo are my favorites from all of his film. people should see his other films 👌
That's the hair he should've had as Harry Potter!
Truuuuuuuuuuueeeeee
Lol, yess! I can imagine that’s the look James was going for. Very broom-swept. 😅
Great call!!
@@SunflowerSpotlight James Potter, I presume?? Yip - can imagine him with that haircut when playing with the snitch in Snape's Worst Memory!! lol
YES. I know that this is a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it bothered me when Harry and Hermione's hair just got more and more flat and neat over time. Like it would've been simple to do in hair and makeup, in comparison to CGI or some other expensive production, so why not be loyal to the books and just do it?
He seems so genuine and amazing. I feel like it’s so easy to connect to what he’s telling and he seems so kind.
A sensitive and intelligent young man, so clear headed .
Wish the interviewer was better
The interviewer is letting the interviewee speak. Which makes him a good one
He did such a great job in those movies it’s hard to break away from that success. I’ve seen a couple of films with Radcliffe since, and they did not disappoint. Just know that he will have a powerful resurgence in the next decade.
I have a very simple formula for TH-cam. Anything with Daniel Radcliffe, I click it.
Same here
This guy talks so much sense!!!!! 👏
I grew up loving Harry Potter, but I have a great respect for Daniel, and feel for him in ways too. He seems like a great guy and there is a difference between him and a character he played a long time ago.
It definitely takes a strong character to handle the pressure that can come with fame. Respect
I love this show so much. So calm and respectful. And aesthetically pleasing of course.
And Dan is just a joy to watch and listen to.
It’s so great that he loves his work so much! Hopefully things will only get better for him.
The guy is the best interviewer on youtube that I've seen, easily. Every time he pulls more out of people than you expect
I loved that he mentioned he had great support around him that helped him. Watching a lot of these celebs, you can tell who has genuine support and care around them and who doesn’t. It must be tough to live that life and only have ppl around who want to use you and take advantage of your fame. Love Daniel!
I absolutely love how Daniel manages to drop a truth bomb on society and probably doesn't even realize it. He is basically just casually talking about life, but he is holding up a mirror to our culture as well. Because he is absolutely right, we treat celebrities as though they aren't allowed to have any negative emotions at all. We carry this idea that they have tons of money, fame, and admiration, and because of that we, feel that they don't have any right to be unhappy, or make mistakes, or express any negative emotion about life. What we sometimes fail to acknowledge is that all that money and fame and glory comes with a HUGE catch. Mostly being that they have MASSIVE expectations to live up to, unending scrutiny that can result in absolutely OBLITERATING your career if you make a mistake. Think about it, there are tons of things celebrities do and say that have cost them HEAVILY, that for just a regular person to do wouldn't mean SHIT. If you DO or SAY anything at all that somebody doesn't like, something that can be taken or interpreted the wrong way, who knows what could happen. The fact of the matter is that as a major celebrity, you are completely at the mercy of the public.
Now obviously, I'm nothing more than a youtube comment to 99.99% of you reading this, but even though I have never been in the shoes of a major celeb, and probably never will be even remotely close to it, I can easily understand that I can't understand the difficulties and struggles that come with being in that kind of position.
There’s definitely a huge cost to fame that you’d never understand until you experience, and once you experience it, it’s already too late and there’s no going back. Honestly, it can sound like a nightmare sometimes, and I really don’t blame celebrities who lose their shit, blow up at fans, or just do something crazy to completely defy their image in an attempt to get free of it.
Another video I liked with this same interviewer that elaborated on this same topic: th-cam.com/video/F9FDmDVy6yg/w-d-xo.html
Exactly, you make an excellent point. 👍🙂
It makes my heart so incredibly happy to know that Dan Radcliffe still loves his Potter role and looks back on it with fondness and not with regret. My mom loves Star Trek as much as I love Potter and at one point, William Shatner really hated Captain Kirk. He refused to give out an autograph to my mom via a friend. If I ever come across Dan or anyone else from the series, I don't think that will happen (I promise to ask politely!). If you ever read these comments Dan, thank you for being such an incredible human! It is truly wonderful to know that my favorite onscreen characters are also some of my favorite real life people.
well Margeret FYI something that may have contributed to that sort of dynamic... keep in mind when Radcliffe started he was obviously only a little boy, had done a wee bit of acting before it (David Copperfield) but it was more about being a fun lark. Whereas when Shatner got cast in Stark Trek, he was already a fully grown adult, AND had fancied himself this very serious sort of actor, and caring all about "the craft". Not to say that he was right in how he handled it, but I think Shatner's feelings on it all after awhile were born out of where he'd come from previously.
@@kevinw712 Yep, being Captain Kirk also hurt his acting career after the show. To be stuck as only one character for the rest of your life has to suck as an actor.
Thanks
'Come here! Say hello to my friend!' 😂👏🏼
Say hello to deez nuts on your chin!
That shit made me laugh so hard !!
@@Malitubee Same! I replayed that part 7 times 😂
He seems like such a lovely person
He is! I met him one day in London, he’s the purest soul. Actually had a full on 15 minutes conversation with him, he was such a sweetheart
Thanks
His his journey to overcome the struggles of fame is kind of like Harry’s.
😳
I was fortunate enough to meet Dan in 2006. We were both 17 (I think?!) I was his assistant on the show Extras. He was so lovely and genuine, no airs and graces. Such a genuine guy.
@Sadia Sharmeen yup
I felt like it was Rupert Grint that he was talking about when he said “got into a job when he was 8 and now he hates but trapped in it”
im replying 2 years late to you, but it could also be he refers it himself
Daniel's flashback looking face at around 01:09 kills me every time I rewatch this lol. Poor dude, but glad that he's dealing with it well and is onward and upward towards happiness.
Just discovered this interview series- this guy seems like the best natural listener!! Everyone always seems super relaxed and real
I love Daniel!! He’s an inspiration for those who do not think they can find their way back to the light or pull themselves away from what could possibly destroy them forever. Even if he tried and fell a few times, he still overcame it and will still have to fight to maintain. It can be that same way for many others out there. Rich or poor.
Your mind is truly such a powerful thing!! It can make or break you.
I’m so glad he had great support to help him out as well. ❤️ That’s another huge help that many people hope to have, to pull them through during those times. It’s just not always easy for some people to come by.
He's so intelligent and such a sweetheart.
Kudos to Daniel for being human, it's great to see that he's flowing into a stability. Great vid! It would be great to see more like this, people overcoming their struggles and how.
I love how he's so transparent. Never was a huge fan, but now I totally am
Was so obsessed with him when I was 13/14 and he's still so amazing. Love him so much
being a non-famous person,i dont know what being famous is like. But what he said just makes so much sense. I can only imagine the massive pressure he has on his shoulders;especially what he said about being the breadwinner of a family. Thanks for not quitting acting. You being Harry Potter is basically my childhood.
I love watching these actors all these years later. They’re so humble. Daniel seems so sweet and down to earth.
4:32 most human moment. Felt I was on the couch with them having a good conversation over coffee or tea for Daniel. Cheers buddy, alot of people get to that fulcrum and never turn back. It's the most difficult journey to return a Hero in your own movie
Dude seems pretty aware of his life and what affects him, that’s a special trait that not only keeps you successful but keeps you happy and fulfilled.
Happy to see it’s all working out after the HP curtains close and he moves onto other work.
He was the young David Copperfield in one of his first roles. The director of the first Harry Potter films saw him in it and is said to have shouted: ' THAT'S my Harry Potter!' The rest...as they say...is History.
1:06 the deep stare of all the awkward moments rushing back to him all at once
Great interviewer! He really hit at Daniel's soul and got him to really open up.
Thanks
You're welcome, Mr. Radcliffe.
I just love how sympathetic you are, Sam! You're the best.
Such a genuine dude. Can’t help but be fan and grateful that he stayed down to earth and continue to work hard and not just live off of his Harry Potter fame.
Tell me how Harry Potter fans are watching this interview and still comparing him to his character in the comments...
That's because he is and will forever remain Harry Potter. 🙂
Great interview. Wish him well and those going through similar situations.
Like this interview. Daniel makes good point. Looking from the outside, acting is everything. Telling stories, creativity, inspiring, uplifting, traveling, perfect. But behind the scenes there is conflicts, not good days, constantly in the spotlight, it can take a toll on you. As the fans we only see the glamours side sometimes we can forget that Actors/Actresses are human like we are, If i were famous i wouldn't want to be so huge to where i'm always followed.
Everyone has a spin, their own narrative. *This interview, the title* - also good examples of why the famous get so depressed. Daniel navigates it like a master.
Thank you for being genuine - what a difficult thing that is for people who have entertainment industry success
If you've never seen Swiss Army Man, let this be your reason to drop everything and do it. My absolute favorite Radcliffe performance.
He's so well spoken and I'm so glad he was able to defeat his demons. I wish nothing but the best for Daniel in his future
I'm always in awe of how smart, down-to-earth and real Dan Radcliffe is. So glad the crazy fame at such young age did not crush him.
And again, your style of interviewing is magic. Gentle and insightful
I remember a few years ago he said he couldn't deal with the game and it was overwhelming... Then one day it just clicked that it couldve been anyone who got the role this would be happening to. He shifted his perspective and seemed to have made it more manageable. Back then I knew he was going to be alright, he's grounded and self aware and so very humble. He's made it known how grateful he is and basically understands "with great power comes great responsibility" What a great human lol.
Loved this interview. Great interviewer that gives him time to talk
