Biography, life story of Daniel Radcliffe

The desire to get on the big screen

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on July 23, 1989 in Fulham, London. His parents, literary agent Alan Radcliffe and television casting director Marcia Gresham, carefully looked after Daniel (and still do) - after all, he is the only child in the family. Of course, they played an important role in his acting career - and if, unlike many child stars, Daniel was not taken to castings from the age of seven months, then, in any case, only with the consent of his parents did the minor Danny find himself in the most famous in the world Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But that was later...

In the meantime, the parents looked for one of the London private schools only for boys for their son - they were clearly not delighted with the fact that already at the age of five Daniel began to show interest in the acting profession. One day, young Radcliffe appeared on stage dressed as a monkey - this was the first and last time he took part in a school production. Once in an interview, the actor admitted that he was terribly afraid if someday a videotape with his unfortunate debut would get on television - then he would have to hide his eyes from shame! It’s just interesting how he finds out about this event, because until now Daniel has not read a single line of what is written about him in the press.

Radcliffe began to beg his parents to allow him to try out for the role of Oliver Twist in a television production of the famous novel by Charles Dickens - and received a categorical refusal: they really did not want their son’s hopes to be destroyed. However, in 1999, Daniel made his screen debut - he played young David Copperfield in the television version of another famous Dickens novel (this time, his mother herself sent a photograph of the future star to the BBC). The film was very well received by the audience, and Radcliffe, who auditioned several hundred boys who wanted to get this role, earned the first praise from the film’s producer, Kate Harwood: “ He has two amazing qualities - naturalness and innocence. Besides this, it is very easy to work with».

Harry Potter

His next screen appearance was a cameo role in the 2001 film The Tailor of Panama, in which Daniel played the son of Geoffrey Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis. While Radcliffe was filming this film, a long and difficult search began in England for young talented actors to film the world's most popular modern children's book - the story of Harry Potter. Curtis was suddenly struck by an unexpected thought: “One day I was looking at Daniel while he was standing by the swimming pool. Then she turned to his mother and said: “ He could be Harry Potter..."". Everything that happened next to Daniel was, indeed, very similar to a miracle.

The director of the first two Harry Potter films, Chris Columbus, came across a tape of the film “David Copperfield” - and after watching it, he asked his casting assistant to invite the young actor to audition. The audition for the role of Harry Potter had been unsuccessful for 9 months, during which time more than 16 thousand applicants were screened, and only two months remained before the start of filming: “ To be honest, we already thought that we would have to film “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” without Harry!"- joked the film's producer, David Heyman. Probably, the film could really remain without Harry-Radcliffe, because his parents refused this invitation in order to protect Daniel from the subsequent collapse of vain hopes. But then a fateful incident intervened.

David Heyman met Radcliffe and his parents at a play called Stones in His Pockets. " I went out during the break to get something to drink and noticed this boy with big eyes, in which there was curiosity and amazing openness. He had a lot of charm and simplicity. All these qualities, in my opinion, Harry Potter should have had!“Heyman was even more shocked when the boy’s father called out to him: turning around, he recognized his acquaintance, Alan Radcliffe, and he introduced him to his family.

« I spent the entire second half of the show looking at Daniel and trying to imagine him as Harry - I ended up calling his parents the next morning and trying to convince Alan to change his mind. To my surprise, he replied that he had already thought about it himself - “maybe it’s fate, despite the fact that we didn’t want it - apparently we’ll have to think about considering this possibility.” Alan suggested that I first try to get to know Daniel better in an informal setting - so we spent several hours over a cup of tea, chatting with the eleven-year-old boy about WWF, sports, friends and things like that" Now Alan was sure that if his son was offered the role, he would be protected as much as possible from the scrutiny of the press, and there would be someone to look after him on the set...

One evening the phone rang - Daniel was in the bathroom at that time: after a while his father came to him and said that his audition was very successful - he got the role! " I had two reactions, - says Daniel, - first of all, I immediately started crying: I have never been so happy! Then, when I woke up at 2 am, I even ran to my parents’ bedroom to ask them if I had dreamed it all».

In August 2000, Dan Radcliffe was announced and cast as the lead role in the Harry Potter film. The author of the books, Joanna Rowling, expressed her personal approval of the choice of director: “ When I watched Daniel's screen test, I realized that Chris Columbus couldn't have found a better Harry Potter...it felt like being reunited with a long-lost son».

Filming for “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” began in September 2000 - the film was released in November 2001, and three days after the premiere the team began filming the second part - “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” (2002). Daniel Radcliffe was destined for fame no less loud than the film itself - overnight his face graced the covers of the world's leading publications, Danny turned into everyone's favorite, and the bright image created by the young actor instantly became a household name.

Due to the fact that all three main characters of the film are children, who by law cannot work more than four hours a day, the film took a very long time to film. The first days of filming were very, very difficult for Daniel. His father, not wanting Daniel to repeat his year at school, insisted that he get a tutor. Daily eight-hour classes: 4 hours of filming plus 4 hours of classes with a tutor were very exhausting for the eleven-year-old child at first.

The entire film crew was amazed by the skill and physical fitness of Daniel, who performed all the stunts himself (only in the most risky scenes were he replaced by stuntmen) - for example, for the Quidditch game scene, the little actor had to hang at a height of several meters, tied to a broom, which was no big deal for him. didn't scare me. In the following films - "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004), where Alfonso Cuaron replaced Columbus as director - and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (2005), directed by Mike Newell - the stunts became even more difficult: for example, Daniel I had to train extensively for underwater filming in the last film, as well as make a vertical fall of approximately 50 feet on my own. " The wire to which I was tied was falling at such a speed that my thoughts could not keep up with the movement of my body - the only thing that came to mind was “Wow, I’m falling...” It became funny later, after several takes - at first I I was absolutely terrified!»

Although evil tongues claimed that Daniel had long outgrown his hero, Radcliffe himself was not going to abandon the project, in which he was still also interested in acting. With each new film, both the actor’s fame and his salary grew, which increased literally exponentially: 250 thousand pounds for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, 3 million pounds for “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, 14 million for “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and 20 million pounds for each of the two final parts of the famous saga.

The first part of "Deathly Hallows" is like a strange road movie. There is more psychology in it, the relationships between the characters are revealed more deeply. And the action doesn't take place in Hogwarts, so the film feels completely different. The first part shows how the characters behave outside their usual environment. And the second part is a real battle of the titans. This is something incredible. This is the first time I'm actually looking forward to seeing the finished film.

According to Daniel Radcliffe, it was very difficult to part with the Harry Potter series: over many years of working together, his co-stars managed to become a second family for him, and on the last day of filming, he, (Hermione Granger) and (Ron Weasley) could not resist tears.

"Harry's independent" career

However, Radcliffe did not intend to fall into a long depression - he had too many new offers. These are the Hollywood project “Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse”, which was released in 2011, the horror film “The Woman in Black”, the play “How to make a career in business without much effort” about an ambitious window cleaner and, finally, the film “On the Western All Quiet on the Front,” a remake of the famous 1930 film based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque. In this war film, Daniel Radcliffe played Paul Bäumer, a guy who quickly grows up, having found himself in the trenches of the First World War straight from his school days.

In between filming the fourth and fifth Harry Potter films, Radcliffe began filming the independent drama film December Boys, based on the novel by Michael Noonan. This is the story of four best friends - orphans who are forced to become rivals for the chance to find a real family. " This is exactly what I wanted to play, - Daniel admits, - After all, this character is absolutely nothing like Harry Potter!»

Also in 2011, Daniel Radcliffe played in the biopic Journey is the destination, where he played the role of Dan Eldon, a British photojournalist who photographed the civil war in Somalia for Reuters and did a lot to draw world attention to this crisis. Eldon died tragically in July 1993: while reporting on how UN forces mistakenly killed 70 Somali civilians, mistaking them for militants, he and three fellow journalists were torn to pieces by an angry mob. Casting for the role of the legendary journalist was carried out back in 2007, and Eldon’s mother personally chose Radcliffe from among the other applicants (among whom were, and then still alive), noting that Daniel reminds her of her son with his “ humor and energy».

In the theatre

In 2002, during a break between filming the second and third parts of Harry Potter, Daniel made his stage debut in the play “The Play I Wrote,” directed by Gilderoy Lockhart in the second part of Harry Potter, dedicated to the famous English comedy duo Eric Morecambe and Ernie Weiss. In each performance, a guest star was supposed to appear for a small humorous sketch - this participation, of course, cannot be called a full-fledged acting debut, however, according to Daniel, it gave birth to a desire in him “ do something more on stage».

From February 2007 to February 2009, Daniel played in another theater production - Equus, based on the famous play by Peter Schaeffer, directed by Thea Sherrock: first in the West End (February 27 - June 9), and then on Broadway (September 5, 2008 - February 9, 2009).

According to the plot of the play, Alan Strang, a stable boy, out of love for horses, blinds them and goes crazy (the role of psychiatrist Dysert was played by Richard Griffiths - Uncle Vernon in Harry Potter). After the first photographs of the performance with Radcliffe's naked character were released, many parents demanded that Daniel be stopped from participating in this event, threatening to otherwise prohibit their children from watching his films.

Photos of Daniel Radcliffe from the production, where he is dressed as Adam standing next to a horse, quickly spread across the Internet. The paparazzi were not far behind Radcliffe, but he figured out how to take revenge on them.

It was a great move. I showed up in the same clothes every time - the T-shirts were different, but I wore the same jacket, and buttoned it up so that you couldn’t see what was underneath. He also wore the same hat. As a result, in the new photos I looked the same as in the old ones, as if they were all taken on the same day, and soon no one wanted to publish them anymore. It was amazing. There's nothing better than the sight of a disappointed paparazzi.

Social activity

In May 2002, Daniel volunteered to create a DVD called Mind Reading: the Interactive Guide to Emotion, designed specifically to help people with autism learn to recognize different facial expressions. and the voice intonations that the guest actors had to demonstrate.

Daniel Radcliffe is also involved in charity work, supporting the children's hospice Demelza House (located in Kent), whose motto is “ add life to the days"terminally ill children, " when days can no longer prolong life" Every year, Daniel encourages his fans, instead of sending him a Christmas or birthday gift, to donate some money to Demelza House.

Daniel makes every possible contribution to the fight for gay rights. Taking a stand against homophobia, Radcliffe began appearing in public service announcements in 2009 for The Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to providing educational materials about homosexuality and preventing suicide among LGBT teenagers. The actor first learned about the project while working on the play “Equus” in 2008. He made a significant financial donation to this organization. In a 2010 interview, Daniel said:

- I have always hated those who are intolerant of gays, lesbians or bisexuals. I consider myself very lucky that now I can really help and make my contribution.

In the same interview, he spoke about the importance of the participation of public figures in the fight for equal rights. Radcliffe considers this activity one of the most important components of his career. In 2011, the actor was awarded the Hero Award by The Trevor Project.

Personal life

Daniel Radcliffe is a very versatile personality. In addition to his acting hobbies, he loves literature, plays football and adores his two dogs, Bink and Nugget, whom he trains himself.

Daniel once admitted that “ would like to become a writer or director" Another, no less serious hobby of the teenage star is music: he almost never leaves his iPOD to listen to his favorite bands - from classic punk rock to Britpop, and also plays the bass guitar, and over time he hoped to find like-minded people to create a group.

The actor also recently discovered his literary talent, and in 2007 he published several poems under the pseudonym Jacob Gershon.

In 2008, Radcliffe admitted that he suffers from dyspraxia. He cannot tie his shoelaces.

Moreover, in 2010, Radcliffe admitted that he suffered from alcoholism. The reason for this was the incredible success of the Harry Potter films and then he decided to devote himself entirely to enjoying life. However, he soon gave up this bad habit.

At one time, Daniel had a relationship with his partner in the play Equus, Laura O'Toole, who is 4 years older than him. But the couple were connected, rather, by instincts: in the production, the actors appeared naked and played very explicit erotic scenes.

The actor once dated 19-year-old Oliva Uniek, the stepdaughter of the Potter producer, with whom he was friends throughout the years of filming.

In January 2012, Radcliffe announced that he was in a relationship with assistant director Rosie Cocker.

Interesting facts about the actor

The London Sunday Times in 2004 named Daniel Radcliffe the richest English teenager after Prince Harry, the youngest heir to the British throne;

Daniel took real magic lessons from the English illusionist Paul Keeve - however, he specialized mainly in card tricks;

Performers of the three main roles in "Harry Potter" Dan Radcliffe,

After participating in the global Harry Potter franchise, when his face appeared on absolutely everything, from pillowcases to toothbrushes, professional growth Daniel Radcliffe looks even more impressive. The boy wizard made the audience see him as a serious man. In 2008, he burst onto Broadway in the production of "Equus", made fun of his own image of a star child in the series "Extras", played the main role in the American television adaptation of Bulgakov's "Notes of a Young Doctor" / A Young Doctor's Notebook. In this This year, the 25-year-old Brit's transformation is complete with the release of his first romantic comedy. "Friendship and no sex", where Radcliffe tries not to win Zoe Kazan away from the handsome Rafe Spall - a modern version of the Hollywood masterpiece When Harry Met Sally. Off-screen, Daniel is in a serious relationship with actress Erin Darke, whom he met last year on the set of the drama Kill Your Darlings. Speaking candidly to ELLE, the actor talked about losing his virginity, filming naked and how to behave with friends.

ELLE What do you need to find in a girl's apartment to immediately understand: you are incompatible with her?

DANIEL RADCLIFFE Well, if she had a whole shelf of vegetarian cookbooks, I'd know I was in trouble.

ELLE Doesn't the complete set of Harry Potter books promise more danger?

D.R. Come on! Many people have them. It would be wrong to deprive yourself of a chance because of such a trifle.

ELLE You undressed in “Friendship and No Sex”, completely naked in “Equus”... Are you comfortable naked in public?

D.R. No. Or rather, relatively comfortable. I have to say, the first time I had to take my clothes off on a Broadway stage at age 17, I was freaking nervous.

ELLE Were you embarrassed to date girls who said: “Oh, I saw Equus...”?

D.R. Not particularly. I didn't date a lot of girls at that time. But such a dialogue would most likely continue with the words: “Oh, cool, you saw me naked!”

ELLE What changed for you the day you lost your virginity?

D.R. Hmm... You know, I'm apparently one of the few who had a great first time!

ELLE Really? Did everything go according to plan?

D.R. It was with a girl I knew well. I'm happy to say that I've had a lot more successful sex since then, but my first time wasn't as bad or awkward as others. For example, like my friend who got drunk and indulged in passion with a stranger under a bridge.

ELLE Yeah, do you think it’s better to have sex sober?

D.R. I don’t rule out that for some, drunken sex is the ultimate dream. But personally, I and the person I’m doing this with are much better off sober.

D.R. In my youth, between the ages of 16 and 19, I was interested in writing and during that period I wrote many love poems. But today I can say with all responsibility - there is not a single one of them that I would like to see in print or come across on the Internet. ( Laughs.)


ELLE There are rumors that you are engaged...

D.R. No.

ELLE Do you believe in marriage?

D.R. I haven't figured it out yet. In my opinion, the most romantic thing you can do is to stand in front of a crowd of friends and family and confess your love to your only one.

ELLE Sounds like the words of the heroine Zoe Kazan from “Friendship and No Sex”...

D.R. Really? Did she say the same thing there?

ELLE Yes.

D.R. Well, apparently, these words sank into my soul. There is something fantastic about marriage... On the other hand, all this that accompanies a wedding... In general, I am still in doubt, but I think that sometime in the future I will have all this.

ELLE The film “Friendship and No Sex” asks viewers the eternal question: “Can a man and a woman be friends?” What do you think?

D.R. In fact, these are two whole questions that they are always trying to fit into one! Can a man and a woman be friends? Of course, I have many female friends with whom I have not had sex and no reason to have it.

ELLE Another question?

D.R. Can a man and woman who are romantically or sexually attracted to each other be friends without it becoming a problem? This is a much more complex question. Ultimately, sooner or later they will have to explain themselves. I would definitely want to sort things out, because otherwise I would go crazy. This is the big difference between me and my hero in Friendship and No Sex. Wallace is able to live in painful uncertainty much longer than I could.

ELLE And how long could I, I wonder?

D.R. It would probably last for a few months.

ELLE In Harry Potter you worked with many legendary English actresses. Did any of them give you good advice about girls?

Emma Watson: "Why didn't he call back?"

Despite the fact that actress Emma Watson is completely devoted to her career, she has never relegated her personal life to the background. At various times, she was credited with whirlwind love affairs with rugby player Tom Ducker, Spanish musician Rafael Sebriani and singer-heartthrob Johnny Borrell. But, alas, not a single relationship led Emma to anything serious.

In addition, gossips said that Watson was madly in love with the actor who played Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe. The young people were often seen together in bars and on walks, but the girl continued to insist that she knew how to be friends with boys and that she and Daniel were just good friends.

Popular

“I, like any girl, always worry about relationships,” Watson admits. “And I often ask my friends: “Why didn’t he call back?” Why didn’t he invite me to dinner?” They answer: “He’s probably afraid of you.”
Yes, Emma’s enormous popularity sometimes plays a cruel joke on her - shy gentlemen simply do not dare to approach her.

Rupert Grint: 'No time for courtship'

Rupert Grint prefers to spend his free time from work at the stadium, cheering for the Tottenham football team, rather than in the company of his girlfriend. The reason is the absence of the latter.

“I was never really seriously interested,” the actor sighs sadly. “I have absolutely no time for courtship, but every girl requires enough attention.”

Even a kiss with Emma Watson according to the script of the last book did not melt Grint’s heart: “Emma is like a sister to me, I can’t fall in love with her.”

But good-natured Rupert is a real pillow for Hollywood tears. It was he who consoled Lily Allen, who had lost her second child, and helped the former girlfriend of English musician Pete Doherty, Katie Lewis, recover from drug addiction.
Despite the lack of a serious relationship, Rupert knows exactly what features in the appearance and character of the opposite sex really attract him. Firstly, the red-haired actor prefers not beauties, but eccentric girls with non-standard facial features. Secondly, Rupert loves girls who are cheerful, active and have an amazing sense of humor.
Well, I would like to hope that now that filming of the last episode of the story about wizards has ended, Rupert will become more free and will finally start organizing his personal life.

Daniel Radcliffe: "Yes, I'm dating a fat girl"

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe first fell in love when he was only 8 years old, with a girl named Lucy. One day, he independently made a card for her for Valentine’s Day, in which he talked about the strong feelings overwhelming him. But the daring girl, having received the message, only laughed loudly in response. Of course, Daniel experienced a love disaster, but since then he has become more careful in expressing his feelings.

A couple of years ago, Radcliffe dated young theater actress Laura O'Toole (pictured), who was his co-star in the play Equus. According to rumors, she and Daniel were brought together not only by the intimate scenes that they had to play in the play, but also by their common hobbies: the girl, like Daniel, adored punk music and was delighted with cartoons about the Simpsons.

Daniel is currently dating the stepdaughter of a multimillionaire and Potter film producer, Oliva Uniack. The girl's known weaknesses are noisy parties until the morning in elite nightclubs and expensive champagne (prefers Moet). Daniel and Oliva's romance has been going on for several years now. Neither the girl’s large figure nor her height (she is half a head taller than Daniel) bothers the actor.

By the way, if you ever decide to send Daniel a letter in hopes of winning him away from the heiress, never type the text on the computer: Radcliffe can only be “hooked” by a handwritten letter.

Not only cinema

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)


The role of Harry could really seriously harm Radcliffe’s career, making him not just a hostage to the image, but even an actor of one role. Nevertheless, immediately after the end of the ten-year series in 2011, the guy began actively starring in other films - unlike his colleagues from the “golden trio”. Trying to choose only interesting roles, Radcliffe managed to play a morphine addict doctor in the film adaptation of Bulgakov (Notes of a Young Doctor), and Allen Ginsberg (Kill Your Darlings), and even the devil himself (Horns). Now in cinemas you can still catch the marvelous film “The Swiss Army Knife Man”, in which our beloved Harry becomes a corpse with “superpowers”. In addition, Empire will soon be released, where he will play a young FBI agent who needs to infiltrate a neo-Nazi organization.

Radcliffe is also a frequent guest on the theater stages of Britain and Broadway. In a series of questions and answers for Reddit, he admitted that he dreams of working with Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney, the Coen brothers, Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan. In addition to acting, Radcliffe is involved in charity work - he actively supports children's hospices and organizations that fight for the rights of the LGBT community.

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)


Even before finishing Potter, Watson decides that education is as important as his career, and does not take an active part in the filming, but (in two steps) receives a bachelor's degree from Brown University. In the five years after “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” she managed to play in the film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s novel “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and worked with such directors as Sofia Coppola (“The Elite Society”), Darren Aronofsky (“Noah”) and Seth Rogen (“The World's End 2013: Apocalypse, Hollywood Style”). In 2015, two interesting projects were released - “Colonia Dignidad” talks about the Chilean military coup, and in “Eclipse” the girl played a victim of satanic rituals. Already in 2017, Hermie will appear as Belle in the film adaptation of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."

Watson is also in demand in the fashion industry: she was the face of Burberry, Lancôme, appeared on the covers of Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar. She is a UN Goodwill Ambassador (and even visited Uruguay) and one of the key figures in the movement HeForShe, which is designed to fight gender inequality and involve men in the feminist movement.

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)


At one time, Grint was called the most promising of the “golden trio,” but the guy’s fate turned out a little differently. There are not many roles in his filmography yet, the most interesting of which are a guy dreaming of a career as a porn star in A Dangerous Illusion and an unlucky manager of a rock band in the comedy Moon Scam.

Like Radcliffe and Watson, Grint is involved in charity work. For example, together with Leona Lewis and other celebrities, she supports Cancer Research UK, which researches cancer treatments.

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)


Felton first decided to break into Hollywood: after starring in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the horror film The Happening, Tom finally returned to Britain. This was followed by a series of commercially unsuccessful projects, such as the film adaptation of Émile Zola's novel Thérèse Raquin or the TV series Labyrinth. Now the actor has joined the cast of the series “The Flash,” and in the fall we will be able to see his performance in the film “A United Kingdom,” which will open the London Film Festival.

In addition to acting, Felton is a real fan of fishing and even wanted to go to university to study fisheries. Tom also made attempts to find himself in music and even released two albums - Time Well Spent and All I Need - in 2008.

Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom)


Now in Lewis it is difficult to recognize the same plump boy from Potter. As the actor himself admitted to Fault magazine, he specifically chose the roles of rude and strong men in order to get rid of the image of the pretty Neville. Lewis mostly stars in TV series, the most interesting of which is “Happy Valley,” where Matt plays an alcoholic suspected of murder. At the moment, the actor’s performance can be seen in the drama “Me Before You” with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin.

Personal life of Daniel Radcliffe, despite his young age, has already become surrounded by scandals and rumors, and this is largely due to the wild popularity that befell the young actor after filming Harry Potter. By his own admission, the actor, imagining himself as a star, could come to the set drunk, and even off the set, Daniel often abused alcohol. Fortunately, he quickly realized that this would not lead to anything good, and coped with his addiction. Not much is known about Daniel Radcliffe’s personal life – the actor prefers to keep its details secret. His relationships with girls can only be judged by the photographs that occasionally appear in the press, in which the paparazzi managed to capture him with some girlfriend.

Pictured: Daniel and Laura O'Toole

Several years ago, the actor dated his stage partner, young actress Laura O'Toole. The intimate scenes they had to perform in the play Equus pushed them towards intimacy in real life. They discovered many common interests, such as a passion for punk music. After Laura, Daniel Radcliffe's personal life had a close relationship with Olive Agnac, the stepdaughter of the producer of the Harry Potter films. They met at the very beginning of filming and dated for several years. Then their relationship was interrupted for a while, only to resume after some time.

They tried not to be apart for long, but due to busy work schedules they didn’t have to see each other very often. In addition, Olive is a spoiled girl, she loved noisy parties in nightclubs, expensive drinks and preferred bad boys, and Daniel, in her opinion, is somewhat old-fashioned. After several years of dating, they broke up. Then, in Daniel Radcliffe’s personal life, an affair broke out with Roseanne Cocker, an assistant director on the film “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” but it did not last very long.

The actor, reflecting on the future, plans that by the age of thirty he should have a family and a child. Now Daniel is twenty-five and he still has enough time to meet a worthy girl with whom he can truly fall in love. In 2012, Radcliffe became the richest young Briton, earning £50 million, so now he is one of the most eligible bachelors, whom millions of girls would like to meet. And if at the moment the actor’s main time is occupied with work, from which he receives great pleasure, then in the future the meaning of Daniel Radcliffe’s personal life, by his own admission, should be family.
