I'm so glad that he didn't regret being Harry.

When Daniel sees the title: "Hey My Eyes Aren't Glistening With The Ghost Of My Past?!." 😂

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

A grossly misleading title - it's like Rita Skeeter wrote it.

He's just such a self-reflective and self-aware person, I really admire him for dealing with everything so well.

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.

What Harry and Dan share in common: -Struggle with fame -Honest & humble - "i'D lIkE An oWl-"

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

Seeing the title of this video reminds me of a rita skeeter article

Both Daniel Radcliffe and Harry potter struggled with fame!

Can you imagine Kristen Stewart and Daniel Radcliffe interviewing one another?.. the level of anxiety!

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.

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

Love the interview, hate the title.

“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

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.

It's pretty amazing how well-adjusted he became, considering the circumstances. His parents did pretty well.

He kinda described social anxiety

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.”

I was his fan since i was 6 years old. now i'm 22 years old and I'm so proud being his fan

"You must've had some of the most awkward moments in history!" "oooooh yeahhh...." *ptsd stare* Harry has seen some shit

Not famous at all, and I still feel watched whenever I enter a public place.

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'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 Radcliffe is just an incredible human being, the best Harry Potter we could ever get!

Daniel has such clear, healthy eyes..

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

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.

Daniel Radcliffe will always be one of my favorite celebrities ever. So kind-hearted, intelligent and genuine.

He speaks so eloquently. He is a good human. Bless you Dan.

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.

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. 😊

This man deserves the best in his life

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.

The part about rich people grabbing him reminded me of Lockhart in diagon alley (chamber of secrets)

I like this guy. I wish he was my friend

1:06 You can see Daniel Radcliffe actually remembering those moments.

His parents raised him well. He's very well-adjusted given his experiences as Harry Fricking Potter.

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.

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.

The majority of the child cast from Potter turned out great.

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 :)

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

Tbh I’ve literally never understood whatsoever why people want to be famous, couldn’t think of anything worse.

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.

Why is this black and white? I want to see Daniel’s beautiful blue eyes!!

"You don't have the right to feel sad" Ouch

We dont deserve Radcliffe

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

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

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.

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....

I just love this guy, Give you a strong hug man

It definitely takes a strong character to handle the pressure that can come with fame. Respect

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

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.

That's the hair he should've had as Harry Potter!

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.

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 KZfaq. Anything with Daniel Radcliffe, I click it.

The guy is the best interviewer on youtube that I've seen, easily. Every time he pulls more out of people than you expect

A sensitive and intelligent young man, so clear headed . Wish the interviewer was better

I love how he's so transparent. Never was a huge fan, but now I totally am

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.

This guy talks so much sense!!!!! 👏

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 love the Harry Potter films but Daniel has done some really interesting, great work since then and it deserves more recognition.

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.

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 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.

i love daniel hes so mature and bro i swear😭

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.

'Come here! Say hello to my friend!' 😂👏🏼

He seems like such a lovely person

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.

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”

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.

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

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's so intelligent and such a sweetheart.

I love watching these actors all these years later. They’re so humble. Daniel seems so sweet and down to earth.

His his journey to overcome the struggles of fame is kind of like Harry’s.

Was so obsessed with him when I was 13/14 and he's still so amazing. Love him so much

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 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.

1:06 the deep stare of all the awkward moments rushing back to him all at once

If you've never seen Swiss Army Man, let this be your reason to drop everything and do it. My absolute favorite Radcliffe performance.

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 him as an actor, he has been one child actor who has been impressively normal - as far as I can tell. He's pushed himself far into very different roles, he's impressive.

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.

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

Literally one of the most nicest/humbling celebs and was in the biggest franchise of all time! I'd honestly hate to be famous and not be able to go anywhere or do normal things without getting recognised 24/7

I love Daniel. Such a straight-up guy, open and genuine

I really like the celebrities who talk like normal people. I mean not sitting in awkward positions, or saying anything that shows egoistic side of them. There are rare celebrities who say something negative about others without any negativity, or some just make little fun of themselves. And Dan is one of those celebs. He really is down to earth, and low-key person which makes me admire him more!

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

It’s interviews like this that make me think, should I ever meet someone famous, that I should just smile and carry on. Just because I’ve seen their face in films for years doesn’t mean I know them at all. It breaks my heart just thinking about this.

What a charm it is to hear a respectful (of himself and others) and intellectual person.

I love that he could be so honest about such a difficult time of life ❤️
