Radcliffe Hides Potter Fame From Son
19 Feb
Summary
- Daniel Radcliffe wants his son to see him only as a father.
- He hopes his son won't recognize him on Harry Potter memorabilia.
- Radcliffe values fatherhood over fame for his young child.
Daniel Radcliffe, globally recognized as Harry Potter, is consciously shielding his 2-year-old son from his iconic wizarding role. Radcliffe stated his desire for his son to view him solely as his father, aiming to maintain this distinction for as long as feasible.
In a recent interview, Radcliffe revealed that his son has not yet recognized him on Harry Potter memorabilia, a detail he found "great." This approach underscores his commitment to fatherhood, which he has described as "the best thing that ever has happened" to him.
Radcliffe, who welcomed his son with partner Erin Darke in July 2023, is currently preparing for a Broadway appearance in "Every Brilliant Thing." He mentioned he might be more selective about future roles, working less over the next few years to spend more time with his child.
While he hasn't ruled out acting for his son, Radcliffe expressed that he would prefer him to pursue careers behind the scenes for a healthier life, unless his son has a strong passion for acting without the burden of fame.
