Radcliffe Shares Gambon's Vulgar 'Harry Potter' Set Jokes

Daniel Radcliffe recently shared amusing anecdotes about his late co-star Michael Gambon, who portrayed Albus Dumbledore in the 'Harry Potter' films. Appearing on "Hot Ones," Radcliffe recalled Gambon's distinctive sense of humor on set, noting that the actor would frequently make jokes until the cameras rolled.

Gambon had a knack for giving vulgar, yet funny, nicknames to scenes he found particularly easy. Radcliffe recounted Gambon referring to a scene where he only needed to show the back of his head as "B-O-H-N-A-R" (Back of head, no acting required), and a scene in a boat as "T-T-I-A-B" (Two twats in a boat).

Radcliffe expressed admiration for actors like Gambon and Imelda Staunton who could deliver powerful performances while remaining personable and making their craft appear effortless. He highlighted that these actors' ability to switch into character seamlessly, without drawing attention to the difficulty of their work, was particularly impressive.
