Xan Brooks at The Guardian recently lifted a couple of quotes from an upcoming “GQ” interview with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 star Daniel Radcliffe in which he revealed he became too “reliant” on alcohol while filming the last few outings in the Harry Potter franchise. The quotes read as follows:
“There were a few years there when I was just so enamoured with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me,” the actor told GQ magazine.
Radcliffe, 21, admits his lifestyle became an issue on the set of 2009 film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He went on to claim he has not touched alcohol since August 2010, shortly after completing work on the final Potter production. “There’s no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that’s been the realisation of the past few years for me,” he said.
I never heard about this side of the Potter star, had it been reported before? Nevertheless, I think it’s a good thing for him he sounds as if he has already gotten it out of his system. I guess that will happen when you become an international superstar at the age of nine.
Beyond that bit, as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 makes its way toward theaters, opening just over a week from now, Warner Bros. has debuted four new posters from the film, which I have included below and you can click any of them for much larger versions in our gallery.
