So, I’ve only seen the first half of the first Harry Potter movie. And I really don’t have a reasonable explanation for why I didn’t see the other 24. It just never happened for me. Now Daniel Radcliffe is trying to make me watch the rest. What did his wizard teachers do to him? Was Harry Potter molested? Please don’t tell me he was molested. What was up with his owl friend, he didn’t help? What happened?
Daniel Radcliffe opened up about his struggles with alcohol — specifically, after the Harry Potter films ended — on the Wednesday, Nov. 18 episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. “I was living alone, and I think I was really freaked out,” the British actor, 26, revealed. “I drank a lot.” He explained that his alcohol dependence resulted from what he described as a fear of returning to reality after playing J.K. Rowling’s popular boy wizard for more than a decade. “I think it was more to do with going out in public and having a battle within me of thinking no, I can have a totally normal life. You get bored of waking up feeling like that,” he said.
Ok, good news. He wasn’t molested. He just got super depressed because he was 21 with $110M in the bank and more people recognized him in the street. Glad he pulled through. He should’ve said it was because he worked in the same office with this for 10 years and never managed to close. Even a Syrian refugee would agree that was pretty sad.
