Daniel Radcliffe

The boy who took the world by storm accepts the fact that whatever he is today is all because he was cast as the lead in the “Harry Potter”series. Daniel Radcliffe who presently wants to shed his boyish charm has stripped for a full frontal nude seen on London and New York stages in Equus. His role in the play was marvelous as anticipated earlier.

He is ever thankful for his magical role in the blockbuster franchise. His present star status and massive fan following along with his bank balance is all because of Harry Potter.

Daniel has revealed that he might never get over his wand-wielding character in Harry Potter because he believes (and rightly so) that his role in the film has “given him everything”, everything that an actor could ask for in his entire life and career. He says, “It’s a reality you have to come to terms with - rather than letting it bother you, just accept the fact that there will always be some people who will forever see you for the one part you are most famous for.

Later he explains, “It’s not that I want to distance myself from it because… they’ve given me everything… it’s just a matter of being an actor rather than a character”. Daniel’s coming to terms with Harry Potter has gained him an honest image and a strong recognition. He said he would love to be associated with Harry Potter all his life as it has become his identity and a way of living.
