Daniel Radcliffe has recently quit smoking after twenty years of heavy use. The actor shared in an interview that the incentive to quit came shortly after welcoming his son, with whom he shares with girlfriend Erin Darke. Radcliffe found the book "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Alan Carr to be instrumental in his success.
Previously, Radcliffe had a history of addiction, and he now describes his intense dedication to fitness as a similar channeling of an addictive personality. He engages in weights, circuit training, and cardio, noting he feels like a cliché for switching addiction to the gym.
In addition to his new healthy habits, Radcliffe is prioritizing his son's awareness of his career. He revealed that his son does not yet know him as Harry Potter and hopes to maintain this anonymity for as long as possible, wanting his son to see him primarily as his dad.
